RAMIs celebrate 25 years

The Rockford Rivets, the area’s new Northwoods League baseball team set to begin play this spring, Tuesday announced the signing of two University of Illinois-Chicago players to their roster. Infielders Ricardo Rodriguez and David Cronin are set to lineup in the Rivets first squad when they open play at the former Aviators Park. The Horizon League named Rodriguez the conference’s Hitter of the Week on Feb. 23 after a four-home run opening weekend to the college season for the UIC Flames. “Ricardo will be primarily a first baseman with UIC in the spring but he has spent time at all four infield positions,” Rivets manager Brian Smith said. “His easy power and arm strength stood out to me when I saw him work out in the fall.” Cronin, out of Orland Park’s Sandburg High School, has been the Flames starting second baseman since last season. “David has the ability to play all around the field,” Smith said. “He can find his way into the lineup a few different ways and make an impact immediately.” The Rivets open up their inaugural season May 31 when they take on the Wisconsin Woodchucks. For tickets or more information call 815-240-4159.

State considers pension buyouts

Lawmakers weigh up benefits of lump-sum payment plan By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD —Lawmakers are in very early talks about giving retired government workers a choice much like lottery winners: Collect the pension benefits owed to them over several years, or cash out immediately but with a smaller lump sum. The House Personnel and Pensions committee discussed the idea Monday with the overall goal of reducing Illinois’ massive unfunded pension obligations, which now exceed $111 billion. Pensions currently eat about 25 cents of every tax dollar the state spends from its general funds, the same funds that pay for most services. Two bills on the subject were discussed during a testimony-only hearing Monday: House Bill 4427 by state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, and House Bill 5625 by state Rep. Mike Fortner, R-West Chicago. Neither was moved to the full House, and both will be the subject of more hearings. Why would any employees take a lesser lump sum? Because they’re not all in the same financial or life or tax situations, and some might simply prefer taking charge of their retirement money from Day 1 of retirement, the sponsors said. “A lot of people would prefer to have control of their money and cash out with the state — even

if it’s a discount,” said Batinick. Both proposals revolve around the net present value of a given employee’s pension benefits, or the projected amount it would take to fund that pension for the remainder of the retiree’s life. For instance, under one scenario in Batinick’s plan, it would take the state a $700,000 up-front investment to fund the pension of an employee projected to draw $50,000 annually. The new legislation would essentially leave the employee three choices: Accept the $50,000 annual pension; take an immediate payout at about 75 percent of $700,000; or take an immediate, partial amount and still get an annual pension payment – although smaller than $50,000. Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, the committee’s chairwoman, said she wanted it made clear the state would not force anyone into a reduced, lump sum payment. That decision, Nekritz said, “would have to be completely voluntary and only at the whim and desire of the participants.” Some other points that became clear in Monday’s hearing: •The committee and the General Assembly have a lot of work to do. Lawmakers have several concerns, and they are awaiting financial projections from the state’s fiscal arm, the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

They also are awaiting more input from the retirement systems. Some retirement system spokespeople suggested the five systems would also need about year’s lead time to implement such a major change. •The choice for a lump sum payout or conventional payout, should one of these bills or some combination of their parts become law, would have to be made only retirement and only once. •Health insurance benefits would not be affected. The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that those are protected under the 1970 Illinois Constitution’s pension protection clause. •Lawmakers want some sort of “floor” built into the system. Said Rep. Robert Martwick, D-Norridge, “My biggest concern is that if we offer this to employees, especially those who are not entitled to receive Social Security benefits, there is some protection for the long term, that we’re not wiping people out. People are making bad choices all the time; (we need to try to) make sure they don’t make a bad choice and wipe themselves out.” Several committee members said they were amenable to a maximum pension buyout or a plan that allowed partial immediate buyouts coupled with smaller conventional payments.

“My biggest concern is that if we offer this to employees, especially those who are not entitled to receive Social Security benefits, there is some protection for the long term, that we’re not wiping people out.”

–Rep. Robert Martwick

White suspends emissions tests for renewals

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has announced that starting March 1, his office will allow vehicle owners to renew their license plates without first passing a vehicle emissions test. The secretary of state is implementing this temporary policy to accommodate vehicle owners who will not receive mailed vehicle-emissions-test notices from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Due to budget gridlock in Springfield, the Illinois EPA stopped mailing notices of emissions test requirements to vehicle owners in December 2015. White has said his office will resume regular registration and renewal procedures as soon as the Illinois EPA starts mailing emissions-test notices again. The Illinois EPA has traditionally sent notices to vehicle owners four months ahead of the owners’ emissions test deadlines. Vehicle owners whose license plates expire at the end of March are the first to not receive the mailed notices. Though some Illinois vehicle owners are

exempt from the emissions test requirement, many Illinois vehicle owners must pass a vehicle emissions test to renew their license plates. Factors such as a vehicle’s year, model and fuel source, as well as the zip code of the owner, determine whether a vehicle must pass an emissions test prior to the renewal of the vehicle’s registration. This temporary policy change comes on the heels of White’s office’s announcement in September 2015 that it would stop mailing vehicle registration renewal reminders to vehicle owners in an effort to save $450,000 per month. Illinois vehicle owners can sign up online for email reminders for both registration and renewal deadlines and vehicle-emissions-test requirements. Drivers who do not sign up for email notifications will need to renew their registrations in person, as they will not have the necessary personal identification numbers for online renewal. Illinois is in its eighth month without a budget, and its unpaid bills total more than $7 billion.

Sec. of State: police should let late renewals slide

White’s office doesn’t want to be critical of law enforcement but says a recent story about police picking off expired plates in a parking lot isn’t good social policy. The Daily Herald reports 816 people were ticketed in January by Schaumburg police for violating the village’s ordinance prohibiting parking vehicles with expired plates in public areas. Those fines go to the village. Meanwhile Secretary of State Press Secretary Dave Druker says House Bill 4334 could suspend fines from the state for expired plates during a budget impasse. “It doesn’t tell the police what to do, it would actually ask them to give warning notices in this period of time,” Druker told Illinois News Network. “Where it’s got specific teeth would be to say that there wouldn’t be a late fee, the penalty, that one pays to renew after 30 days.” –Illinois Policy/Illinois News Network

Energy & Environment

Is creeping austerity a path to sustainability? By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

usterity policies are being advanced as a means to cut government debts and stimulate economic growth. Those interests adversely affected by the cuts resist the policies. Some economists envision the decades ahead as showing little promise of economic growth. In a working paper, Is U.S. Economic Growth Over? Faltering Innovation Confronts The Six Headwinds, Robert Gordon, an economist from Northwestern University, raises questions about economic growth being a persistent, continuous process. Factors cited as being a drag on our economy include demography, education, inequality, globalization, energy and environment and high levels of personal and governmental debt. In the past a variety of innovations have stimulated economic growth but Gordon fails to see any innovations that will make a major contribution to raising the standard of living. Instead he sees an era of little or modest economic growth and possibly stagnation. Larry Summers, former Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, has also expressed concerns about economic stagnation.

Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, postulates that the U.S. economy will not recover due to job outsourcing, the national debt, financialization of the economy, high unemployment and college student debts along with endless wars. For Roberts the issue is a matter of federal policy and not a lack of innovation. While economic growth has stagnated in developed countries, it has shifted to developing economies eager for higher standards of living. Shifting the location of economic growth has intensified environmental problems as the conversion of nature into goods and services has accelerated. Attempts to minimize the adverse environmental impacts of human activity are actively resisted by some on the grounds that they interfere with economic growth. While those with environmental interests continue to press for reforms, the increasing scale of environmental damage has led to angst regarding effective solutions. If society fails to adequately address the problems a drop in our standard of living is assured. Yet a similar fall in our standard of living is occurring from a lack of economic growth. Creeping austerity is not a path to sustainable living as many of our environmental problems stem from a failure in the marketplace to incorporate the cost of environmental damage into the prices

paid for goods and services. A far more sustainable economic plan is needed. An optimistic vision with implications for moving beyond economic stagnation and austerity is offered by Amory Lovins in Reinventing Fire. He describes our energy and business systems as dying and calls for an energy transformation which phases out of fossil fuels. The key elements in such a transition are well known: using energy efficiently and increasing our reliance on renewable energy sources. The path relies on existing technologies and offers jobs, climate and

environmental benefits. For this or any similar plan to succeed requires citizen support. While supporting a shift toward renewable energy and efficiency, other experts warn us to prepare for a difficult transition. They suggest we learn to live well while having less. Earlier generations faced difficult economic conditions. Looking back at how they adjusted can be of some assistance. An essential component of previous experiences was maintaining social relationships with family and friends to reaffirm our sense of belonging with one another.

Oregon Public Library celebrates cultural student art

In honor of Youth Art Month, Oregon Public Library will display artwork created by Oregon Elementary School students throughout the entire month of March. Thirty students in 4th through 6th grade will have their creations displayed during Youth Art Month. The projects reflect the different cultures and time periods of art that students learned about throughout the school year. 4th grade students created dragons to honor the Chinese New Year, 5th graders created art inspired by leaders and works of the Harlem Renaissance, while 6th graders designed projects influenced by ancient Egyptian culture. “This is a fantastic way to highlight the collaboration of art in our schools but also recognize some of the talented youth artists within the district. It brings students and their families to a civic organization which involves the community as a whole,” said Oregon Elementary Art Teacher Jordan DeWilde. “The library has been an enthusiastic partner and we’re gracious for their support.” Youth Art Month is a national observation of visual arts by students K-12 and is celebrated by thousands of schools across the country. Started in 1961, Youth Art Month emphasizes the value of art education for all children, encourages support for quality school art program, and recognizes art education as a viable factor in the total education curricula that develops citizens of a global society.

Catching up with RAMI Chairman Dan Eisman By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interview: The Rockford Area Music Industry, Inc. (RAMI) is celebrating 25 years. That’s quite an accomplishment! It looks like there are big plans for celebrating in 2016. Before we get into specifics, it seems there is a lot more to RAMI than people realize. What is the mission of the RAMI organization? Dan Eisman: Our focus is to support local music through scholarships, music education programs and events. RRI: How many scholarships does the RAMI organization give? Dan: RAMI currently supports two college bound students through the Gary S. Wilmer Trust and the Kim and Ruth MacCloskey RAMI Music Scholarship. We also support three promising children at The Music Academy with the RAMI Young Artist Music Scholarships. RRI: What do you guys have planned for 2016? Dan: The 18th Annual Spring Benefit on March 19, the 25th Annual RAMI Awards on April 22, and the Rockford Guitar Show & Music Expo on May 22, all at The Tebala Event Center. Finally, the RAMI Golf Play Day is scheduled for September 9. RRI: I understand there is going to be a very cool “old school” type Battle of the Bands planned for the Spring Benefit March 19? Can you tell us about that? Dan: Yes, We are featuring Bun E. Carlos and The New Paegans vs. The Missing Links in a retro style band battle. You can vote for your favorite band for a buck! All monies raised will go to RAMI. The dance party continues with the ‘70s retro band, Can’t Touch This. RRI: That’s really cool that you have Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick on board! Rumor has it that Cheap Trick is being inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of fame in April! Dan: Yes, We’re very excited to have him. Station 96.7 The Eagle is hosting a VIP Meet and Greet with Bun E. Carlos before the show. There are a very limited number of VIP tickets available for that so get them now. RRI: Tell us more about the Spring Benefit. The Spring Benefit is RAMI’s biggest fundraiser correct? Dan: Yep, for the last 18 years. This year special emcee Chip Messiner will keep things rolling. We are encouraging ‘60s and ‘70s style dress. We have a costume contest, raffles, and a silent auction that includes an autographed Cheap Trick guitar. Food and beverages are also available. RRI: Where can we buy tickets, how much are they? Dan: Tickets are available online at rami-

awards.com, at Alpine Bank locations, and the Tebala Event Center. There’s also a link on the RAMI Facebook page. Advance general admission is only $15 and $20 at the door. General admission reserved tables can also be purchased, a table for 4 is $100 and a table for 10 is $250. The 96.7 Eagle VIP Meet and Greet package includes admission at $50 per ticket. RRI: The 25th RAMI Awards Show sounds like it’s going to be a special one. Dan: Yes it is. All the music that night will be performed by RAMI Hall of Fame winners. The centerpiece of our 25th year is a handcrafted quilt with the names of every RAMI Hall of Fame winner embroidered on it (pictured left). It was crafted with love by Tina Messiner. We will start selling $10 raffle tickets at the Spring Benefit. There are a limited number of tickets that will be sold for only 30 days. How many tickets do you want, Todd? (laughs) RRI: I bet there are a lot of people who will be interested in purchasing tickets for that quilt! But the RAMI Awards is more than a show right? Dan: RAMI recognizes local working musicians and technicians with awards. Winning a RAMI Award is meaningful since it’s voted on by their peers. We also award Community Service, Lifetime Achievement, Outstanding Achievement and In Memoriam. RRI: How do you become a RAMI member? Dan: In order to be a member you have to be a working musician, technician, or affiliated with the music industry. RRI: Who else would be considered affiliated? Dan: Venue operators, booking agents, producers, photographers, and other support services. RRI: What is the cost and how do I join? Dan: It’s very inexpensive at $10 per year or $15 for 2 years. This entitles the members to nominate, place on the ballot and then select those who deserve to be in each category. RRI: Can the public vote for any RAMI Awards? Dan: Yes, at ramiawards.com the public voting is now open. They can vote for Artist of the Year, Favorite Radio Station, Favorite Venue and Favorite Special Event. ••• You can get your tickets for the RAMI Spring Benefit online at ramiawards.com, Alpine Bank locations and the Tebala Event Center.

Controversy, shocks at Oscars By Thomas Simpson Contributor

his year’s Oscars weren’t without controversy, and not the good kind. There were claims that talent of African descent were overlooked from the nominations which led to boycotts and the creation of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag. Of course the show must go on and the 88th Academy Awards concluded with its usual predictability/shocks, depending on the viewpoint you took. Aside from claims of racial prejudice, the biggest talking point leading up to the Oscars was Leonardo DiCaprio. Hollywood’s most famous bridesmaid received his sixth nomination, and his fourth for Best Actor, for his outstanding performance in The Revenant. The internet had all their best memes dusted off only for him to go ahead and bag his first Golden Statue. It was long overdue and although well deserved, with the greatest respect to the other contenders, anything other than a win for Leo would’ve been a huge upset. That wouldn’t be all for The Revenant as Alejandro G. Iñárritu received the award for Best Director while Emmanuel Lubezki won for Best Cinematography making it back to back wins for the duo (they both won the same awards last year for Birdman) and Lubezki’s third in a row (first win was for Gravity in 2014). While Lubezki was the obvious choice for me, albeit just ahead of Robert Richardson, I’d have loved to have seen George Miller win Best Director for Mad Max Fury Road. We can all dream. It wasn’t all doom and Gloom for Mad Max Fury Road as it picked up Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. An impressive haul for the rebooted franchise, and speaking of which, Star Wars: The Force Awakens walked away with nothing despite being up for five awards. It may have shocked many to see them lose out on Best Visual Effects to Ex Machina, however, if you were lucky enough to catch Alex Garland’s directorial debut, you’ll understand why. The Best Actress in a Leading Role category was one of the most competitive of the night. While there was much speculation over Jennifer Lawrence for

Joy, it was Brie Larson that pipped her to the post for Room. The film received near universal acclaim and found itself in contention for four awards overall. Alicia Vikander won Best Supporting Actress for The Danish Girl while Mark Rylance won Best Supporting Actor for Bridge of Spies. Rylance may have caused the biggest upset as Sylvester Stallone (Creed) was the odds-on favorite. It was a tough break for the Creed crew who only received one nomination, noticeable by its absence from other categories. It should’ve surprised no one that Inside Out won Best Animated Feature, and considering it was one of the best films of last year, it’s a worthy winner. It lost out to Spotlight for Best Original Screenplay while The Big Short picked up the award fort Best Adapted

Screenplay. The night wasn’t over for the Spotlight crew as they were awarded with the most prestigious prize of the night, Best Picture. Tom McCarthy’s film about how journalism exposed child abuse in the Catholic Church was an outside favorite making its success all the more pleasing for many. As we celebrate a leap year, this gives those at the Academy an extra day to address the issues that plagued the run-up to this year’s ceremony. For now though, it’s time to kick back, relax and enjoy the slew of Superhero films that are about to grace our screens. Oscar season can be fun but now that it’s over for another year I’ll be stocking up on popcorn. Thomas Simpson is a writer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, U.K. Find him on Twitter: @Simmy41.

The greatest adventure: PBS’s A Year in Space By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

There are a lot of things I could write about that are going on in television this week, from the series premiere of ABC’s new sitcom The Real O’Neals and the mid-season return of the same network’s popular drama Quantico or NBC’s mid-season debut of NBC’s Blindspot, to the seventh season opener of Spike’s reality competition series Ink Master and the series finale of PBS’s megahit Downton Abbey. Even the Super Tuesday Primary coverage across the various news outlets promises to be interesting, inspiring, or terrifying – depending on your political view and the results. But one of the things I’m most fascinated by this week? The new PBS special, A Year in Space. The hour-long documentary highlights astronaut Scott Kelly’s year-long mission aboard the International Space Station. The mission, which concludes this week, is only part of a larger experiment. The special will likely explain how Kelly’s identical twin, retired astronaut Mark Kelly (who is the husband of former congresswoman Gabby Giffords), participated in from earth as both twins underwent a series of tests in an attempt to measure the long-term effects of space travel. Along with 917,000 other people, I’ve been following Scott Kelly on Twitter, where he has posted some amazing images taken from the space station. For someone who’s spent the better part of a year orbiting the earth, he’s certainly stayed in the public eye by making the rounds of news

shows and even late-night talk shows, including a bit on the live post-Superbowl broadcast of Late Night With Stephen Colbert. We caught numerous glimpses of his time on the space station, but what was it really like to spend that long in weightless conditions? (I’d imagine gravity will be hard to get used to again. He’ll probably feel as if he’s dragging heavy weights with every step.) Things like radiation exposure, bone density loss, muscle atrophy, even psychological repercussions from an extended stay in outer space will all be studied by comparing Scott Kelly’s pre-launch baseline measurements with his current stats, and then comparing those with similar details gathered from his brother. That unique perspective should give a good side-by-side illustration of how Scott Kelly’s post-orbit health compares with what it would have been had he remained on earth. You might not agree, but I find this to be fascinating stuff. Certainly more details about Kelly’s year in space will be revealed once both brothers have completed any additional tests and Scott has had a chance to re-acclimate to being earth bound once again. The information gathered should play an important role in helping NASA in plan and prepare for future multi-year journeys to Mars.

RCCA opens doors to students By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

he Rockford Coronado Concert Association will spotlight the European style of orchestra as it welcomes the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra on Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Coronado Performing Arts Center. At the beginning of 2016, the Polish Baltic Philharmonic embarked on their tour to the United States of America, the longest concert tour in its history. They have 48 concerts planned in what they deem, “the most prestigious concert halls in 19 states.” One of those prestigious halls is none other than the Coronado. The RCCA is making an incredible offer to our community. They are offering free tickets to students 24 years old and under. Tickets can be picked up at the Coronado or BMO Harris Bank box office during regular hours or on the day of the show. There is a one ticket per person limit. I spoke with Mary Ann Smith, Rockford Coronado Concert Association board member, past president and President of Friends of the Coronado, about this exciting opportunity. “The vision for the renovation of the Coronado went well beyond the physical building. From the very beginning the stakeholders and resident companies of the Coronado vowed to take every advantage to extend world class performances to a broader community. To think that we are able to provide this experience, at no cost, to students whose lives had not begun during our campaign, illustrates our continued commitment to this community. There is nothing like a live performance to transport us out of the everyday and into a world filled with wonder,” said Smith. The Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra (PBPO) is the largest music institution in northern Poland. The orchestra includes 77 musicians and the performance will include: Wagner - Overture to The Flying Dutchman; Chopin - Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor; Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C minor; and other well-known pieces. There is an interesting story about the home of PBPO that is an inspiration in repurposing for the arts. The Baltic Philharmonic Hall is housed in a repurposed power station constructed in 1897-1898 and has a neo-Gothic façade decorated with rosettes, turrets and two towers. During World War II the complex suffered severe damage. It was opened again in August 1945 as a power plant until its closure in 1996.

It was subsequently adapted from 1996 to 2005 as a concert hall for the Polish Baltic Philharmonic and is located on the island of Ołowianka in Gdansk. The reconstruction, development and adaptation of the campus was done by the architectural studio of Martin Kozikowski and KD Kozikowski Design. The building consists of the main concert hall of 1,000 seats, a chamber music hall for 200 seats, two multi-purpose halls, an exhibition room and a 60 room hotel. Tickets are $25-$35 and can be purchased online at coronadopac.org or by phone at 815968-0595. Group tickets are available by phone. Visit rccaconcerts.org or contact Beth Howard at bhoward@coronadopac.org or the Rockford Coronado Concert Association at 815-847-6314, for more information.

Beloit Film Fest hosts Hollywood actors

The Beloit International Film Festival (BIFF) was host to the actor/ director/producer/writer couple, Tim Busfield and Melissa Gilbert, who led a workshop on film production and directing on Sunday at the Beloit College campus. Among their many film and TV credits, Gilbert was the star of the TV series, Little House on the Prairie, and Busfield was an actor in Thirtysomething and The West Wing. Their main advice to aspiring actors on Sunday was, “Stay where

you are,” rather than rush off to New York or Los Angeles. “Gain experience, get the ‘bad’ out close to home, and build a resume before tackling Hollywood or the Big Apple.” The couple was in Beloit to show their film, “One Smart Fellow,” which they co-produced and acted in. It won the best Narrative Feature on Saturday, and was co-directed by Busfield and Tommy Lohmann. –Photos and words by Jon McGinty

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. • • • • • “A Cheesy Love Poem.” For this contest, I read a lot of poems that compare the beloved to a favorite food, but this one stood out, mainly because of tone. The title, “A Cheesy Love Poem,” lets us know right away that the writer doesn’t intend to take all of this too seriously—the poem, the title tells us, is a bit “cheesy,” as in not attempting in the least to be on the same level as Keats or Shakespeare. That’s not the intent. So, we get that, but then, surprise, the poem actually is a sonnet and actually about cheese. Yes, the same stuff that you put on your burger or in your omelet. And, it’s also about how much he loves or craves this woman. He loves cheese; he loves this woman—why not put the two together? So, the poem is one big metaphor; his love for her is like his love for cheese. I don’t know any woman who could resist. So, I like the humor; I like that the poet doesn’t take himself too seriously here, and I like that the poem is a sonnet. Here we find the required 14 lines, the 3 quatrains and a final couplet, and the rhyme scheme is in place. I like that it all seems effortless. I don’t sense the poet straining to get a rhyme to fit the form; instead, the rhyme and ideas all seem to come together as if they had no other particular place to go or be. He didn’t have to corral them; they came as if this poem was their destination from the beginning. But what really sealed the deal for me was the poem’s rhyming “gouda” with “mooda.” As we know, rhyme makes things true, or at least good rhymes do. –Dr. Susuan Porterfield

A Cheesy Love Poem By Christopher Sheehan-Jago

There are some who call me cheesy, I guess this is the proof. A girl who smells of sweet cheddar, and with eyes like Maytag Blue. This girl’s looks are so gouda, I want to take her home. She puts me in the mooda, to share some provolone. For such a dove my heart hurts, she must indeed be holy. I want her like I want curds, made of perfect Aged Colby. If I ever left, it’d be My Princess that I miss, well her, and my big block of Swiss.

Problems beyond Flint? We just don’t know

By Tammy Chang & Nicole Gergen The Conversation

ublic uproar over lead poisoning in children due to the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, has dominated the news cycle this winter. The deck was already stacked against kids growing up in Flint. And due to a decision by the city’s emergency manager to start using the Flint River as a municipal water source in April 2014, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of children who will be living with the effects of lead toxicity from tainted water. Lead contamination in Flint’s water is a true public health emergency, and there are still no clear solutions. But is Flint an anomaly, or does it sound the alarm to a much bigger, systemic lead problem? The unfolding story in Flint has left people across the country wondering if lead poisoning is a problem in their own community. As primary care doctors, we wanted to understand how widespread lead poisoning is in America. What we learned was surprising. It’s very hard – if not impossible – to find out how widespread this problem is in the United States today. Work by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the pediatrician in Flint who initially called attention to this issue, found that the number of children with blood lead levels greater than five micrograms per deciliter doubled since Flint switched its water source. That level is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) cutoff for elevated blood lead levels. To figure out if Flint is an outlier or representative of a broader problem, we need to find out which communities in the U.S. also have many children with elevated blood lead levels. That means we need to compare pediatric lead toxicity between communities across the entire country. Unfortunately, this is not as straightforward as one might think. In fact, we learned it’s not even feasible to do, because lead screening and reporting guidelines vary by state, and rates of lead screening across states are dramatically different. In some cases, the data just aren’t available. We can estimate the rates of lead testing across the nation, though. To do this, we aggregated publicly available data from the CDC and individual state Department of Health websites. We took the number of children screened in the most recent

States without data available do not report data on the number of children screened for lead toxicity in their state. Provided

year available and divided by the total population of children under six in each state. However, this means that in some states the percentage of children who were screened for lead may be underestimated (i.e., a child may have been tested for lead in an earlier year and not tested again). For example, in Massachusetts, all children must be tested twice before age three. Children living in high-risk neighborhoods are tested again at age four. With this legal mandate, Massachusetts has the highest rate of pediatric lead screening in the country, with 47 percent of children under six years old screened in 2014. Similar to Massachusetts, 17 other states require all children to have blood lead testing done before age six. By contrast, less than five percent of children under age six were screened in Kentucky in 2014. Kentucky requires only “at-risk” children, including those eligible for Medicaid, those living in certain zip codes or those who meet high-risk criteria based on a lead paint exposure questionnaire, be screened. Kentucky is one of 27 states that use a targeted blood lead screening strategy. In all, 44 states either require that all kids be test-

ed or use targeted screening protocols. Other states have no formal screening protocol at all. However, looking at both CDC data and state health department sources, we could find data about blood level testing for only 35 states. Fifteen states – including those that require testing of some kind and those that don’t – don’t publicly report these data. Lead toxicity is likely not an emergency in most communities, but we don’t really know. Wide variation in screening guidelines and dismally low pediatric lead screening rates at the state and national level likely mask the true distribution of lead toxicity in the U.S. that is actually happening at the community level. Based on the data we have, it is difficult to tell if the rate of lead toxicity in Flint represents a true outlier, or if other communities are quietly struggling with lead epidemics of similar magnitude. Targeted lead screening protocols are different in every state, but they uniformly recommend testing children who are at high risk for exposure to lead paint products – usually low-income children living in older homes with peeling paint. Although lead paint was banned in 1978, lead paint used in

homes built before this regulation went into effect is known to pose a lead poisoning risk to children. When testing identifies a child with an elevated blood lead level, EPA and state protocols recommend a home lead hazard assessment which usually focuses on exposure to lead paint. If lead paint is detected, steps for lead paint removal in the home are recommended. At this point in time, there is no governmental recommendation to routinely check for lead-contaminated water when a child is found to have an elevated blood lead level. If lead is contaminating the drinking water in communities outside of Flint, we might not be catching kids with lead poisoning from the water because our current targeted lead screening protocols do not consider water to be a risk. By focusing mostly on lead paint exposure, we miss possible lead exposure associated with water source contamination. Flint is only one of many postindustrial cities with an outdated network of lead water pipes. The water crisis in Flint has taught us that confirming water safety at the treatment plant does not necessarily ensure safe water in the homes of our patients. We don’t routinely collect water lead levels in homes of children who have elevated blood lead levels, so we don’t know if lead contaminated drinking water is part of the reason why their lead levels are high. A first step toward a better understanding of lead poisoning in the U.S. is for states to promote adherence to their current lead screening guidelines. Then when a child with elevated blood lead levels is identified, states should require home water lead level data be collected and reported to the state. If elevated home water lead levels are in fact contributing to lead poisoning in other communities, besides removing the source of the lead, it will be important for states to retool their targeted screening protocols to better address water as a potential lead poisoning risk factor. The tragedy in Flint was human-made. It is time to reexamine our policies and practices around lead exposure so that what happened in Flint is an isolated incident rather than a harbinger of more preventable tragedies that may be silently unfolding across the country right now.

New currents in River District

Editor & Publisher

he River District Association has a new captain, the Director of Marketing & Public Affairs for the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB), Josh Albrecht, and he has some hard building to follow. He succeeds outgoing President Gary Anderson, our premier downtown architect whose achievements include the Prairie Street Brewhouse revitalizing our downtown riverfront, Richardson Building at State and Wyman, Crusader’s Community Health Building on Broadway, Garrison School Lofts, Urban Equities new achievements Anderson at 408 and 324 E. State, the in-progress Rockford Trust Building and the upcoming Gorman & Company, Inc.’s Ziock project on Davis Park, to mention just a few of his recent projects. For the full scope of his work go to gwaarchitects.com/portfolio. Not only is he an amazing architect, he has been an amazing president of the River District, bringing it back from disrepute and controversy to affection and action. During the last River District mixer held at Stephanie Caltagerone’s very new and mod restaurant Magpie, 307 S. Main St., Anderson ran over some recent downtown mileposts. n 5,000 to 7,000 weekly visitors to Rockford’s City Market under the leadership of Cathy McDermott. n 2,500 volunteers for the two years of Sharefest under the leadership of Scott Sanders. n the amazing birth of new public sculptures all over downtown provided by RACVB, continuing the inventory provided by the Rockford Park District. n RACVB’s River Lights Project behind the Rockford Library and on Millennium Fountain path, by Luxe Productions of Rockford and sponsored by MercyRockford and individual contributions raised by Marge Bevers and others. n Private development of $40 million and $20 million under construction with more coming soon. n The $24.4 million UW Health Sports Factory will be open for this summer is a fantastic achievement of Rockford’s Reclaiming First, with primary leadership from the RACBB Executive Director John Groh and Rockford’s Park District’s Executive Director Tim Dimke. n The River District’s Association’s return to solvency and new membership, with its new Director Leah Tuneberg, following the fine work of Co Owner and Studio Director at 317 Studio and Gallery, Theresa Rowinski.

Josh Albrecht (center) and the staff of RACVB celebrate the arrival of the 2016 Rockford Visitor’s Guide. Guides are available at the RACVB office, 102 N. Main St. or call 815-963-8111. Provided n More retail shops and lofts than ever before downtown, with a new banquet facility on top of the old Rockford Furniture Building complete with a rooftop facility by the owners of Northwest Quarterly Magazine. n Gorman & Company has stated it is absolutely committed to the Ziock Hotel and Convention Center on Davis Park. n The ever improving Prairie Street Brewhouse project began in 2005 and was completed in 2014. That nine years of dedication by Loyd and Diane Koch, culminating in Rockford Brewing Company and Brewhouse Events with Chris Manuel, Reid Sjostrom and Dustin Koch. n The Rails to Trails transformation the railroad bridge south of the Fordham Dam, which will connect the new path by the UW Health Sports Factory and Morgan Street bridge to Davis Park. n The fine job by the City of Rockford on the road work and cleanup of Kishwaukee, South Main and West State streets. Improving street lighting and metering creates a standard of safety and expectation. n Loyd Koch said to me recently, “Have you seen the new marketing film Gary did? It’s fantastic!” Six more marketing film are being created about the Rock River experience – retail,

residential, office and recreational spaces and opportunities. Anderson stressed the River District wants your stories. n Shop the Block has been very successful and will start earlier this year. n More special events improvement and planning are underway – perhaps a Taste of the River District? n While crime has been reported to be increasing all over the city, the River District’s statistics are not bad in comparison. Businesses are being more aggressive calling 911 and in combating panhandling. After showing the new marketing film, co-produced by the River District and award-winning Rockford Park District multimedia specialist and RAMIs Hall of Fame Member Curt Johnsen, Anderson concluded, “We are capable of making this one of the greatest cities in the country, and I truly believe each one of us has to step up to the plate and foster event, restaurant and retail development.” He then introduced his successor, Albrecht. Albrecht worked in Dixon for seven years to develop their very successful Main Street Program, and he is still very much missed in that community. On a recent visit to Dixon, he

was mentioned several times. The most salient comment about him was, “We knew we couldn’t keep him too long; he was too good.” I can say personally since his arrival in Rockford last year, he has been very helpful to the Rock River Trail Initiative and is a great marketing advocate of the Rock River as a place to visit and stay. He gets the big picture. He did a wonderful job of the Stroll on State the last two years. Besides that, the staff at RACVB tell me they really like him. He’s got a good sense of humor and diplomacy. “We have momentum downtown. The people make the place. I’ve met so many people who will push it forward and make it happen, and I look forward to working with everyone,” Albrecht said. “It a great honor to continue helping to build on the development and vibrancy downtown. I’m excited to get to work more closely with the shop owners and entrepreneurs who are staking a claim in the downtown core.” Citing her love of Chicago and Rockford urban living and our possibilities, Director Tuneberg closed the meeting saying, “It’s a new atmosphere. Come join us.” To join the River District go to riverdistrict. com/membership or call 779-207-0110.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of March 2-8, 2016

This Week: The new moon solar eclipse in Pisces on March 8-9 creates a sense of stagnation or in some cases aggression. So be mindful of your surroundings and fly under the radar to the best of your ability. The upside of this astrological climate is it can also absorb old wounds like a sponge and discard them once and for all. Take advantage of this time frame to heal, be it physically or emotionally. This influence supports those who are willing to grow and develop as well as leave the past behind. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — A person from your past may be reaching out to acknowledge your efforts at this time. Try not to complicate this matter by looking for the hidden motive. There may not be one involved in this situation at all. Take information you receive this week and set it aside for a later date. There will be more to the story by month’s end, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— You may be looking to purchase or sell a large-ticket time during this time frame. The stars align in your favor to complete these transactions with ease. Meanwhile, your love life could use a little TLC. For those of you looking for love, this month promises some favorable options to choose from. Your social calendar will be full this month, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Annoying distractions may cloud your judgment early this week. You can’t please all of the people all of the time, so set your priorities and stick to them. A letter or long-distance phone call brings unexpected news. There is more to the story as time evolves, so don’t make any quick decisions at this time. A long-overdue payment will arrive at week’s end, don’t spend it all in one place, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A burden that has been weighing heavily on your heart will lift this week. Solutions will arrive to clear the air. With this in motion try not to hang on to this old element. Let it go once and for all. This will only get in your way of future success. Midweek a secret admirer reveals themselves to you in an unexpected way. Investigate further options with this individual, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — News of an emotional nature regarding a family member could be a bit disturbing. You can offer up emotional support, but do not offer financial support with this situation. Travel plans are in the works at this time, do not allow a nosy male/female to interrupt your schedule. You don’t have time for all of the drama that they may want to bring into the mix. Try not to offer any more information than you need to at this time, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You’re narrowing down your options to the best case scenario now. So many opportunities have been presented over the past few months. This may

have made it difficult to decide which way to go. The signs are all pointing to one favorable aspect now, providing the clarity you need to make the choice. The weekend allows time to cozy up with a loved one and enjoy your home environment, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You may feel as though you’re in a hamster cage running on the wheel this week. If things appear to be boring or monotonous, understand that you are right where you need to be at this time. As you process old worn-out emotions and ideas, the universe is providing you with less challenging projects to contend with. Although you would prefer to bury these emotions with a full schedule, that would only stand in the way of your healing process. It will all make sense in the weeks to come, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Try not to take the odd behavior of another personally at this time. This has nothing to do with you and if you make it about you it certainly will turn into an issue in real time. Midweek allows new business or career opportunities to come into view. Take advantage of these aspects and strike while the iron is hot. You’re ahead of the game by week’s end, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A financial breakthrough will arrive during the month of March providing you with the security you have been longing for. Worrying about finances takes a toll on all of us physically, emotionally

and spiritually. Once we are able to count our blessings in the present, our trust opens doors for additional gain in the future, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Your intuition is right on the money this week. Check in with those that are concerning you, and use your soothing healing approach to calm them down. Inspire those that may be feeling stuck in a lose-lose situation to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. This becomes a contagious element that spreads like wildfire. Your own words put a fire under your feet as well, Cap. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Pay close attention to how the influences of others may be affecting your health and welfare at this time. Midweek you need to set boundaries with another that does not have the respect for your space that you deserve. No need to go on a guilt trip over this and do not allow another to bully you into complying to their needs. Your emotional state is just as valuable, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A chance meeting with a female opens doors for career and new social contacts this week. Follow up with invitations to connect with like minds and positive influences. A phone call from far away provides unexpected news, you may need to travel shortly as a result of this. Stay caught up with mundane tasks so that emotional pressure doesn’t get the best of you at this time, Pisces.

DRIVERS:

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.

Full time. Duties include: snow removal, street repair, mowing, tree care, buildings and grounds, and water system maintenance. Requires high school diploma, or GED. Ability to obtain an IL class “B” CDL license with air brake endorsement. Ability to work in harsh conditions and lift up to 100 lbs. Exp. in public works desirable. Ability to obtain a class “C” IEPA water license within two years. OT work required. This is a union represented position. Apply by March 18, 2016 at Village Hall, 806 E. State St Cherry Valley, IL 61016. No Phone Calls Please.

saiah and William Donley were two brothers that moved to Rockford in 1865 with their family. They were born in Palmyra, Missouri and as the newspaper from 1890 stated, “born into bondage”. The family members were slaves prior to the Civil War. They came to Rockford to begin their new lives. Isaiah was 12 and William was ten years of age. Both would become well known and respected in this city. They were admired for overcoming the obstacles placed before them and giving back to their community. Isaiah was a man of many talents but was best known for his devotion to the local Rifles Unit. He would travel with the group and assisted them as a “colored attache”. Isaiah worked very hard to support the group and made their travels much easier. Isaiah was known for his honesty and integrity but it was his kindness and humor that made him so well loved. Isaiah married Ann Upsher in August of 1874. They had a daughter, Musadora or Musie as she was called. Unfortunately, Ann died in 1880 when Musie was only four years old. Many who knew Isaiah spoke of his devotion to his only child. Tragedy struck Isaiah’s family again in January 1890 when he became ill. Isaiah died on January 16, leaving 14-year-old Musie to be taken in by his brother William. The men from the Rifles Unit all attended Isaiah’s funeral at Cedar Bluff. They acted as pall bearers and carried their friend to his final resting place. William married his wife, Mary on November 23, 1882 and they bought a house on

Crosby Street a few doors down from where Isaiah lived with his family. William was even better known than his brother. He was a cigar maker by trade and a very popular one by all accounts. William was also known to be very intelligent and well-read. Many of the immigrants who came to Rockford were illiterate and William would entertain them with tales of the books he read. William was also a talented guitar and banjo player. He would often tell his friends and family that he loved playing for others and considered it a gift when he saw others enjoying his music. William and his wife invited Musie into their home after Isaiah died. The churches in Rockford took up collections to help support the little girl. A newspaper article mentioned that Musie later moved to Chicago and married a man named Anderson. William passed away on February 16, 1916 in the family home on Crosby Street. He was laid to rest near Isaiah in Cedar Bluff Cemetery. These brothers are usually forgotten about in Rockford’s history. While their contributions may seem small when to compared with other African Americans who helped settle the area, they were part of the foundation that Rockford was built on. The family, like so many others before and after, left behind their past lives and chose Rockford as the place to call home. Their rising above their appalling beginnings is as inspiring now as it was to the community then. Kathi Kresol has researched the paranormal history of Rockford for over a decade.

Stop the violence, address the issues

From Constance Messina In 2010 the F.B.I. ranked Rockford as the tenth most dangerous city in America. Recently that changed. Rockford now has the distinction of being the fifth most dangerous city in America. The headline shocked us for a day or two, and then we all went about our lives. There are answers, and they do not involve more police or jails. There are many reasons for violent behavior, but one that often gets overlooked is illiteracy. “Adult illiteracy carries an estimated price tag of seventeen billion dollars annually.” NIL “While there is an economic toll, we barely notice the damage that is done to people who reach adulthood without the ability to read and write.” John Corcoran, The Teacher Who Couldn’t Read. Research from both the Bureau of Prison Statistics and the National Institute for Literacy verify that there is a relationship between illiteracy and criminal behavior. Seventy to eighty percent of adult inmates are illiterate and lack the basic skills to find and keep a job. “Approximately, eighty-five percent of juveniles facing juvenile court judges have reading problems.” John Corcoran Test scores today indicate that K-12 school

systems nationwide are still not doing an effective job of teaching reading, and everyone from presidential candidates to school officials and state legislators vow to make improvements. However, there seems to be no thought about the people who are now the adults who went through these systems and were not educated. Does anyone wonder what life is like for these estimated thirty-four million people? This truly is a silent crisis that needs to be brought into the open. “Illiterate people are now the fastest growing subculture in America.” John Corcoran We can give lip service to the issue and go through the motions of doing something, or we can educate ourselves and find out how we can get involved. Rockford citizens have the opportunity to attend a conference on Saturday, March 12 at the Sanctuary of Unity of Rockford. The Heart, Soul and Vision conference will focus on three strategies to spark the change needed to stop this downward spiral that is gripping our city: The documentary film, “From the outside looking in; the crisis of illiteracy in America” will be shown with a discussion to follow. Connie Messina, author of Brain-friendly Activities to

Build Emotional Intelligence, will demonstrate the skills of emotional intelligence: self awareness, managing emotions and relationship skills. Renowned intuitive, Michael Dove, will talk about The Heart of Change; the case for personal responsibility, and Gordon Winder, veteran and adult learner, will help us understand living with the pain of illiteracy.

Mr Green Car

Reviewing the all new 2016 Toyota Prius By Allen Penticoff Contributor

ith the recent Super Bowl ads showing the new Toyota Prius being used as a getaway car, I was inspired to review this standard of hybrid technology again – now out in its fourth generation. When I recently drove the Prius at Anderson Toyota in Rockford, with assistance from sales rep Keith Montoya, I found that despite the cute advertising, the Prius would still not be a top choice for a getaway car. Using standard driving mode and punching it – the acceleration is good, more than adequate for everyday driving, but you ain’t gonna outrun no police car. It has a “power” mode that improves power and throttle response some, but the Prius is still no sports car. Still, the ads are fun to watch. The first Priuses (Prii ?) rolled off the assembly line in 1997, but did not hit our shores until 2000. In that time the car has evolved substantially from one generation to the next. Each generation is very distinctive from its siblings. Five million of them have been built so far. I have recommended the Prius to many people over these years. Each who bought one has been happy with their purchase. They are especially good for folks with a long commute – substantially lowering the cost of getting to work. The 2016 Prius is lower, longer and a bit wider, with a very stylish remodeling of its body panels to reflect the current vogue in aggressive appearance. LED headlights and taillights bring the Prius up to speed with other new cars and style. All this on top of Toyota’s new TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform using higher strength steel, greater rigidity

and a new multi-link rear suspension. This and the relocation of the batteries from under the trunk – to under the rear seat and many other weight reduction points has lowered the center of gravity about an inch. The handling is crisp and the ride a bit stiff, but in the range one expects of a small car. Overall the handling is improved over generation three. Turning radius is tight – such that a circle can be made within two parking spaces end to end. The interior has been redesigned as well. Done mostly in a soft-touch plastic in two-tone colors and accents, the dash is pleasant to look at and blends into the door panels. The usual touch screen is in the center with the real-time driving and performance information on a narrow screen centered at the base of the windshield. Despite its location it is not hard to reference.

An optional heads-up display will put this information on the windshield before the driver. New HVAC controls were below the touchscreen and easy to use, but require looking at digital readouts to see what the settings are. The shifter has been relocated to the center console area from the dash. A charging pad for cellphones (very common on new cars now) is below the controls. Ports for electronics and a large armrest storage area keep everything at hand. I did find some knee clearance problems when driving the Prius, but that depends on how you sit in its comfortable seats. Rear seats are comfy with adequate legroom for adults. The steering wheel and its controls are excellent and adjustable to get a good driving position. Trunk area is increased by three cubic feet due to the lowered floor. Gone is

the spare tire, replaced by an inflator kit (I don’t like this trend – a damaged tire will leave you stranded). A nice feature is the heater stayed on with the engine off while parked for several minutes. While there is an EV mode with quarter-mile range, my experience with it was limited and not impressive. The Prius is not an electric/ hybrid so moving along a little on battery power is not really its forte. Supposedly a new plug-in version is in the works that will have a more substantial 20-35 miles of EV range. That would be nice. As of right now there are six models of Prius, with the base “Two” starting at $24,200. A base “Two” will get 54 city/50 highway mpg. To get the touted 58 city/53 highway mpg, you’ll need to pay $500 more for the “ECO” model. All except the base “Two” now have

lithium-ion batteries for lower weight. An optioned out “Four Touring” (base $30,000) will bring a MSRP of about $35,400. But with that you get much in the way of upgraded electronics, driving assistance, and safety electronics such as pre-collision sensing with pedestrian detection, lane keeping, blind-spot detection, auto high beams and radar cruise with automatic braking – and more. It is always difficult to really review a vehicle thoroughly in such few words. But the new Prius definitely wins as being the most fuel-efficient nonplug in car in American today. So my recommendation to commuters still stands. The Prius is a solidly reliable transportation option, good for much more than around town driving. When gasoline prices rebound – you’ll be glad you’re driving a fuel sipping Prius.

Getting started on growing raspberries By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Raspberry plants tend to grow quite well in Northern Illinois. You’ll find raspberry plants at many fruit and vegetable farms in our area. Unlike blueberry and strawberry plants which tend to stay intact based on their growth habits, raspberry plants are a prickly shrub with long canes that the fruit will be produced on. Known as brambles, they produce primocanes in the first year which become known as floricanes the second year. The floricanes will produce the crop. Raspberry plants are going to continually add primocanes each year so it’s important when it comes to pruning to be mindful of which are primocanes or floricanes. Raspberries come as red, black, purple, and yellow fruit which can further be distinguished by everbearing or summer bearing. Summer bearing will produce one crop of berries on two-year-old canes in early to mid-summer. Everbearing has 2 crops of fruit on each cane. The first crop will be at the tip of the cane in the fall of first year while a second crop on rest of cane the following summer. Purple and black raspberries are summer bearing while red and yellow are

either summer or everbearing. For red, summer bearing types, recommended varieties include Boyne, Killarney, Lathan, and Liberty. Red, everbearing varieties recommended for the area include Heritage, Redwing, and Ruby. If wanting to growing yellow raspberries, Goldie and Amber are good choices while Brandywine and Royalty are good choice for purple raspberries. Each of these recommended varieties will need further research as there may be some additional growth characteristics that you need to consider. For planting the raspberry plants, they need full sun, good drainage, and good air flow. The soil pH should be between 6 to 6.8. Spacing for the raspberry plants will vary due to the variety you’ve chosen but it typically 2-4 feet between plants. Raspberry plants benefit from mulching by managing weeds, reducing disease pressure, and keeping soil moisture in. Wood chips, hay, straw, and some leaves can be appropriate choices although you’ll need to add material each year. Next week, I’ll further describe the pruning needs and seasonal management.

Little profit for the pork industry in 2016 By Debra Levey larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The outlook for the pork industry has turned somewhat more optimistic in recent weeks. The sources of that optimism include a $2 to $4 increase in spring and summer lean hog futures prices since the first of the year and slightly lower new-crop soybean meal prices. According to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, a bit higher hog prices and a little lower cost add to the potential for a profitable year. “Currently, the 2016 pork outlook looks a lot like 2015, which featured losses in the first and fourth quarters with the second and third quarters providing some profit,” says Hurt. “That pattern appears to be repeating this year. However, the industry is expected to register a $4 per head profit in 2016 in comparison to an estimated $3 per head loss last year.” Hurt says pork supplies in the first two months of 2016 were down about 1 percent from the same period a year ago. This is in alignment with the last hog inventory count from USDA. The relative accuracy of the last USDA count adds credibility to using their inventory numbers as a measure of spring and summer supplies.

“Based on that last report, March, April, and May pork production is expected to be down about 1 to 2 percent,” Hurt says. “Summer pork production is expected to be unchanged from year-ago levels and fall production is expected to rise by 2 percent. These numbers would indicate that domestic pork production would be unchanged for the year, while USDA analysts suggest that production will rise by 2 percent.” The estimated cost of farrow-to-finish pork production in calendar 2015 was near $51 per live hundredweight. Hurt believes that is expected to drop a bit in 2016 to average near $50. The decline is related to lower costs for soybean meal. In 2015, high-protein soybean meal at Decatur. averaged $341 per ton, but is expected to drop to about $283 for all of 2016. If so, Hurt says this will be the lowest cost meal since 2007 when it averaged $231 per ton. For corn, the U.S. average price received for calendar 2015 was $3.71 per bushel. Current futures prices suggest that price will be similar for calendar 2016. Live hog prices in 2015 averaged $50.23, according to USDA. “My current forecast for 2016 is for hog prices to average about $51 per live hundredweight,” Hurt says. “Quarterly price estimates

are $45 to $48 in the first quarter, $54 to $58 in the second quarter, $53 to $57 in the third quarter, and $45 to $49 in the final quarter. “These forecasts suggest that the average cost farrow-to-finish pork producer lost about $3 per head in 2015, a near breakeven year in which producers nearly covered all of their costs, including depreciation and all hired and family labor costs,” Hurt says. “The year of 2016 also appears to be one near breakeven, but with a more positive tone of about $4 per head of profit above all costs.” As the spring planting season approaches, Hurt says pork producers are well aware of the uncertainties of the upcoming growing season. Corn and soybean meal prices are at the lowest levels in nine years. Harmful growing season weather in the United States would increase feed costs. How could producers help protect against some of these price increases should they occur? According to Hurt, one possible answer is to buy December 2016 corn calls and December 2016 soybean meal calls. At this writing, the premium for at-the-money December 2016 corn call options was 28.5 cents per bushel. If a pork producer were to buy the equivalent

bushels to cover one year of feeding needs, this premium would raise the cost of production by an estimated $1.25 per live hundredweight. The at-the-money December 2016 soybean meal call option had a premium of $16.60 per ton. If a one-year’s was purchased for the hog operation, the premium costs adds 44 cents per live hundredweight to costs. Therefore, to cover both corn and soybean meal with new-crop call options would be about $1.69 per live hundredweight. “The calls provide potential financial protection if the new-crop futures prices for corn and soybean meal were to rise,” Hurt says. “They do not eliminate the opportunity to buy corn and meal with even lower futures prices should another high-yield year develop. However, one has to pay the option premiums and any transaction costs for these rights. “The more difficult question is ‘should’ pork producers use options to protect against the potential for rising feed prices,” Hurt says. “That depends upon the risk preferences of each producer, their perception of the risk of harmful weather this summer, their financial situation, and their overall outlook.”

Is conservation aid preventing deforestation? By Debra Levey larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – With over $3.4 billion spent in international conservation funding to protect biodiversity and stop tropical deforestation in Africa since the early 1990s, it makes sense to ask

if the funding is effective. A recent study finds that conservation aid alone has not been able to counteract deforestation pressures, and in some cases may have even exacerbated forest loss. University of Illinois’s Daniel Miller, who studies international environmental politics, and two other

researchers examined data from 2000 to 2013 on the rates of deforestation across 42 Sub-Saharan countries. “We find evidence that some conservation aid actually leads to a short-term increase in deforestation,” Miller says. “Our hypothesis is that it’s displacement. The conservation aid may have gone toward a national park in, say, Benin, leading to less deforestation inside the park. That’s the good news, but the bad news is that the funding may have just displaced forest clearing activities outside park boundaries. Our study looks at the country-size scale, so results may be capturing this displacement effect.” Miller and his co-authors looked at a sub-set of African countries with high forest cover— countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia—to see if dynamics were different. They found that quality of governance—rule of law, government effectiveness, whether citizens have a voice in selecting their leaders—affected the results. “In heavily forested countries, we found that

better governance on its own did not predict less deforestation,” Miller says, “but in such countries, better governance apparently allowed conservation aid to have a positive impact in reducing deforestation. It may be that good governance in countries where forests are an important natural resource helps ensure conservation and sustainable management not only in protected areas but outside them as well.” Miller says there is already a lot of research looking at factors such as economic growth and rural population growth as deforestation drivers. A key innovation in this study is to include factors that can mitigate deforestation drivers, like conservation aid and existence of national parks and other projected areas, in the same statistical models. “Unfortunately, the amount of aid is so little and the pressures to cut down the forest for furniture markets, firewood and building materials for homes, or other uses are so great that the conservation and money and protected areas are not enough to counteract the overall loss of forest in many countries.”

A blow to healthcare transparency

SCOTUS rules that states cannot require many large employers to submit health care claims to a massive database. Here’s why that matters. By Charles Ornstein ProPublica

he U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow Tuesday to nascent efforts to track the quality and cost of health care, ruling that a 1974 law precludes states from requiring that every health care claim involving their residents be submitted to a massive database. The arguments were arcane, but the effect is clear: We’re a long way off from having a true picture of the country’s health care spending, especially differences in the way hospitals treat patients and doctors practice medicine. It also means that, for the time being at least, we’ll remain heavily reliant on data being released by Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, to study variations in health care. ProPublica has used Medicare data to study differences in medication prescribing, surgeons’ complication rates and use of services by doctors, but it’s still not clear that Medicare is

representative of all health care in the country. The court’s decision involves a case from Vermont, one of 18 states that created so-called all-payer claims databases. Vermont’s law called for health insurers, health providers, medical facilities and government agencies to report data on health care costs, prices, quality and use of services to the state. That included employers who pay the costs of their workers’ treatments themselves, and not through an insurance contract. (Self insurance is common for large companies.) But Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. objected, saying the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, prevents states from imposing such a requirement on self-funded plans. The idea is that companies that have operations across the country shouldn’t be subjected to 50 different state laws, but instead should only have to abide by rules from one agency, namely the U.S. Department of Labor. The court sided with Liberty Mutual, in a 6–2

IDFPR announces pharmacy compliance program The state and a group representing Illinois pharmacists hope a new pilot program will allow investigators to focus more attention on bigger public health concerns than on minor infractions. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation on Monday announced a six-month pilot program that began earlier this month. Department spokesman Terry Horstman says the program is meant to focus disciplinary actions on major infractions, instead of minor ones like having food or drinks in undesignated areas or not properly displaying a pharmacy license. “For instances like that, we certainly don’t want to force pharmacies to spend valuable resources, for them and the state, in going through the formal disciplinary process.” The Pharmacy Citation System Pilot Pro-

gram that began earlier this month won’t affect pharmacy clients, according Garth Reynolds, executive director of the Illinois Pharmacist Association, but it will help the state’s investigators cover more important ground. “The public is still being protected by the investigators through the State Board of Pharmacy and this should actually help them get out to more pharmacies in a more timely fashion.’ Reynolds equates the minor violation citations to minor traffic tickets, a characterization Horstman agreed with. “It will allow our investigators some more time in the field and on more substantive matters that pose a greater risk to the public at large.” Horstman says the true cost savings for taxpayers won’t be known until after the state reviews the program in August. –Illinois News Network

decision, ruling it did not have to submit the data demanded by Vermont. In a friend-of-the-court brief filed last September, the American Hospital Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges said that without the data from self-funded plans, all-payer claims databases will be incomplete and not as valuable as they could be. “Hospitals only have data for the patients they treat,” the groups wrote. “Information from across the spectrum of an individual’s health care experience is needed to inform clinical, payment, and public health policy…Complete data across all payers (including self-insurers like Respondent) is required so that both health care providers and policymakers can understand the variations in the health care system, and address those that need to change.” They also noted that self-insured plans cover a “large majority of the working population: in 2013, nearly 60% of workers with health insurance were enrolled in such plans, and that figure is growing.” So what now? One option is for self-insured plans like Liberty Mutual to voluntarily provide their data to state-run databases. But given the lawsuit, that appears unlikely. Another possibility, raised by Justice Stephen

Breyer, is for the federal government to require self-insured plans to disclose their data. “I see no reason why the Secretary of Labor could not develop reporting requirements that satisfy the states’ needs, including some state-specific requirements, as appropriate,” he wrote. For now, though, we may have to do what we have done for years: Settle for an incomplete picture of health care spending and utilization. Our team at ProPublica has already found fascinating patterns in Medicare data. In one example, 1,800 doctors billed Medicare for the most expensive type of office visits at least 90 percent of the time, compared to just 4 percent of office visits for all doctors. Another group, the Health Care Cost Institute, has greenlighted research using data from three of the nation’s largest private insurance companies. It has found some interesting trends too, but hasn’t released data on individual doctors and hospitals. Medicare could release more data, as could the Health Care Cost Institute. The Supreme Court decision means transparency has a long way to go. Charles Ornstein is a senior reporter for ProPublica, a Pulitzer Prize winning newsroom, covering health care and the pharmaceutical industry.

Bowman wrapped up his major moves on Friday when he sent Phillip Danault and a 2018 second-round pick to Montreal in exchange for forwards Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise. The two were linemates in Montreal and will likely stay that way in Chicago, playing with Teuvo Teravainen, who will move back to his natural center position. This was another good move from Bowman. He said during the day on Friday that he wanted to add a gritty winger with scoring touch to play with Teravainen, and he did that hours later in acquiring Weise. Fleischmann is a great addition, as he will fit well with Teravainen, and can kill penalties as well. “Teuvo is a big part of this,” Bowman said Monday. “Sometimes people overlook the fact that more than anybody on our group of forwards, he’s bounced around and had to be the most versatile guy. That’s not easy to do for a young guy who’s trying to get established in the league.” Losing Danault and a future pick hurts but there is plenty of time to recoup that draft pick,

and Danault was a bit repetitive in the system with Marcus Kruger in tow. This final move set the Blackhawks up as the deepest team in the NHL, and probably the favorite to win the Stanley Cup.

The Bickell conundrum

Then there is Bryan Bickell, who wasn’t traded over the weekend, and remains a huge anchor contract for the Blackhawks. With a cap hit of just over $3-million even when playing for the IceHogs, Bickell is certainly huge problem for Bowman and co. There were rumors that the Maple Leafs were willing to move for Bicks but that trade never materialized. Bowman was reportedly willing to retain half of Bickell’s salary, but even then he would still be overly expensive for what he brings – or rather, doesn’t bring – to the table. “He’s been playing a big role in Rockford,” Bowman told the Sun-Times. “He’s scoring some goals and I think he’s feeling better about his game. That had to happen — and where it goes from there I can’t really predict.” There’s still a chance that Bickell gets moved at the NHL Draft or another point over the summer. If Bowman can’t find a fit for Bickell, another option is to buy him out. The best option, though, might be to just ride out the final year of Bickell’s contract and get it over with faster. Just rip the band-aid off; don’t do it slowly. Adam Hess is our regular Blackhawks contributor and a staff writer at SB Nation’s SecondCityHockey.com. Follow him on Twitter: @_AdamHess.

ROAD WARRIORS Rockford earns three points halfway through out-of-town trip By Todd Reicher Contributor

espite going winless in Lake Erie, the IceHogs managed to snag three points in three games during week 21. After a 6-4 win in Milwaukee to take sole possession of first place in the Division, the IceHogs headed to Cleveland, Ohio for a weekend series against the Lake Erie Monsters. The Monsters are hot on the trail of Rockford, going 5-1-1-1 in their past eight. Lake Erie put the first two points on the board in a span of 1:44. A power play goal from former IceHogs skater Alex Broadhurst, followed by a shorthanded goal off the stick of many Malhotra put the IceHogs in an early 2-0 hole. Vinnie Hinostroza cut the lead in half just over three minutes later with an unassisted marker to bring the score to 2-1 after 20 minutes of play. Two additional quick strikes in the opening minute of the second period gave the Monsters a commanding 4-1 lead, signaling the end of Michael Leighton. Although most of the goals were caused from defensive breakdowns, coach Ted Dent was looking for something to spark the IceHogs. Dent got the spark he was looking for when Tanner Kero scored his 15th of the season 2:44 after the change in net. At 8:01 of the same period, Ryan Hartman scored an unassisted shorthanded goal to cut the Lake Erie lead to 4-3. But another late period breakdown put the Monsters back up by a pair with 1:06 left in the middle frame. Kero scored his second of the game just after the midway point of the third to make the game interesting again with a power play tally. Despite sending Mac Carruth off for an extra attacker, the IceHogs were unable to score the equalizing goal, giving Lake Erie a 5-4 win. Special Teams hampered Rockford once again, giving up one power play goal on eight chances, and allowing a shorthanded goal. The following night both teams reacquainted for the second game of the weekend series. Saturday’s game started ominously with another shorthanded Lake Erie goal 11:51 into the game. It wasn’t until 4:51 of the second period when the next goal was scored – a Mark McNeill wrist shot to even the score at 1-1. The tie lasted less than five minutes when Oliver Bjorkstrand scored on the power play to put the Monsters ahead once again.

Hartman knotted the game again just shy of the midway point in the third with his 14th goal of the season. The score remained tied at 2-2 at the end of regulation, giving Rockford at least one point in the standings. At 4:31 of the extra session, Lake Erie ended it when Daniel Zarr potted his 15th of the season, giving Lake Erie the second point and the win. The trade deadline also came and went over this past weekend, with the IceHogs and their parent club, the Chicago Blackhawks seeing some changes. First off, goaltender Mac Carruth was signed to a one-year NHL deal at the beginning of the week, most likely due to backup Mark Visentin and his recent injury. The first big Domino to fall was Chicago landing Andrew Ladd from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Marko Dano, a 2016 first round pick and a conditional 2018 third round pick. The Blackhawks also

received defenseman Jay Harrison and Matt Fraser, both whom will report to the IceHogs. Harrison is a veteran of 372 NHL games and 426 AHL games, and has spent the last six years playing for the Carolina Hurricanes and the Jets in the NHL. The 33-year old veteran should give Rockford, and the Blackhawks, defensive depth for the playoff push. Fraser shows over 300 games of professional-level experience, including 91 NHL games. Fraser played 60 NHL games last season, split between Edmonton and Boston combining for eight goals and four assists. Secondly, recently reassigned veteran Rob Scuderi was exchanged for another veteran defenseman, Christian Ehrhoff. A 33-year old veteran of over 850 NHL games, Ehrhoff should also give Chicago/ Rockford some depth for a playoff run. Phillip Danault was shipped to the Montreal Canadiens along with a second round pick in the 2018 draft for Thomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise, giving Chicago some lower line depth down

the stretch. IceHogs defenseman Dennis Robertson was moved back to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for veteran goaltender Drew MacIntyre. The Blackhawks picked up another veteran winger in Tim Jackman, along with a seventh round pick, in exchange for prospect Corey Tropp, who was loaned out to the Albany Devils by the Blackhawks. Jackman has been playing for the Anaheim Ducks affiliate San Diego Gulls for 22 games this season. Rockford finishes up their five game road swing with a Wednesday night meeting against the Grand Rapids Griffins, winners of five straight. The IceHogs then return home for another weekend series against the Lake Erie Monsters with a Saturday game at 7 p.m. and a Sunday game at 4 p.m. The IceHogs will face Milwaukee for the 11th time this season the following Tuesday with a 7 p.m. matchup before leaving for Charlotte the following weekend.

SPORTS NHL Trade Deadline

Shifty Stan Hawks’ GM pulls off series of late moves in prep for another Cup run By Adam Hess

T Contributor

he NHL trade season wrapped up on Monday afternoon, and while the Blackhawks didn’t make much noise on deadline day, they were very active over the weekend leading up to the deadline. Stan Bowman made five trades in total over the past week, but only three of them really impact the team for this season. Those three trades – and the trade that didn’t happen – were the key stories from the Blackhawks’ trade deadline.

6 WEEK PROGRAM

Welcome home, Ladd

The Blackhawks brought back an old friend last Thursday when they acquired Andrew Ladd from the Central Division opponent Winnipeg Jets. Ladd came to Chicago along with Matt Fraser and Jay Harrison, who both reported to Rockford, in exchange for Marko Dano, a first round draft pick, and a conditional 2018 first round pick. “It’s just fun to be around familiar faces, the guys who were here when I was here before,” Ladd told the media Monday. “A lot of things are different — they changed this whole room around — a

lot of new faces, but it’s just fun to be back.” This trade addressed the Blackhawks biggest need on the roster in finding them a top line left wing. The carousel of players at that position this season was unsettling, and Ladd fixes that issue completely. The price was a bit steep to bring the former Hawk back to the Second City, but as a team focused on winning now this is a good deal for the Blackhawks. And Ladd hasn’t missed a beat with his former teammates, racking up an assist in Sunday’s 3-2 win over the NHL-best Washington Capitals.

Blue line upgrade

This is a deal that will probably end up being one of Bowman’s better yet more underrated deals. Chicago sent Rob Scuderi to Los Angeles in exchange for the 33-year-old Ehrhoff, who fits the mold of defenseman the Blackhawks needed: a strong puck mover and good skater who drives possession. Scuderi was none of those things. He is slow, he can’t pass, and overall he is a bad hockey See BOWMAN on Page 45
