This year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade is set for Saturday at 3 p.m. but the annual march will follow a new route for 2016. As in previous years, staging for the parade will occur at the corners of South 7th Street and 5th Avenue, traveling north to State Street before turning west. But the route will not cross the State Street Bridge this year; instead, it will turn north on Water Street at the City Market Pavilion, before turning back east on Market Street to Madison, then north to the Prairie Street Brewhouse. A party will follow the parade at the Brewhouse, which opens at 3 p.m. All guests between 3-8 p.m. will be required to have a wristband to enter the Brewhouse.

Humane Society urges review of bobcat law

Last year, the Illinois legislature and governor legalized the state’s first bobcat hunting and trapping season in more than 40 years. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently proposed rules implementing the hunting and trapping season and has been collecting public comments on the proposed rules. H.B. 352 was initially voted down in the legislature but eventually made its way to the desk of Gov. Bruce Rauner, who signed it into law last June. “It’s a shame that despite the myriad problems facing Illinois, some lawmakers chose to make passing this inhumane bill a priority,” said Humane Society of the U.S. president and CEO Wayne Parcell at the time. The Humane Society of the United States has submitted over 4,000 comments from Illinois residents on the proposed rules. “Although the vast majority of Illinoisans oppose trapping and the use of hounds for killing bobcats, it’s disappointing that the Department of Natural Resources’ proposed rules allow these cruel and unsporting methods to target this fragile species,” said Marc Ayers, Illinois state director for the Humane Society of the U.S. “Chasing bobcats with packs of dogs, or allowing them to suffer in painful steel-jawed leg hold traps for nothing more than a trophy or someone’s fur coat is barbaric. Bobcats aren’t hunted for their meat – they’re only killed by those looking to make a quick buck selling their beautiful fur to overseas markets. We urge the DNR and members of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules to listen to their constituents and remove these extreme provisions from consideration.” For more information on how you can get involved visit humanesociety.org.

Political Endorsements • March 15 Primaries | By Frank Schier • Editor & Publisher

Vote to renew the city’s 1% sales tax By Shane Nicholson

Managing Editor

ou can’t trust your politicians anymore. You just can’t. Can’t trust them in Washington. Can’t trust them in Springfield. Here at home we have our own qualms with a County Board under the watchful eye of the FBI and a City Council under the thumb of both HUD and the DOJ. But you can trust policy, especially when it works. And one policy that continues to pay dividends for the Rockford community is the 1 Percent Sales Tax to benefit the Capital Improvement Project. At a time when uncertainty reigns downstate – even as to the simple question of funding basic social services – Rockford has raised and kept $124 million of its own hard-earned dollars here to improve its infrastructure. Whereas bond debt used to weigh down the city’s ability to plan even a year in advance, now actual cash-in-hand pays to rebuild Rockford and put people to work. Infrastructure is quite simply – after education – the most important thing a city can spend its money on. Studies show that infrastructure spending returns anywhere from $2-4 for every $1 spent. That comes not just from the direct effect of creating employment, but from the secondary impact of increased spending by businesses and individuals looking to join the Rockford community, not to mention state and federal matching funds totalling more than $100 million for the Main Street redevelopment alone. Next Tuesday, vote for whatever politicians you believe could lead Rockford, Illinois and the U.S. to greener pastures. But make sure you vote to extend the 1 Percent Sales Tax because it already is giving us everything we ever hoped it would.

Democratic Party Ballot President of the United States

•Hillary Clinton •Bernie Sanders The Rock River Times endorses Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton and compa-

nies have had their days in the White House and in power. Clearly consider the Trump phenomenon and Sanders’ surge in recent primaries, Obama’s “Yes, we can” did not bring enough “change” for many disgruntled Americans. Sanders’ strength with the common person has also been shown by the fact that he raised more than $42 million in February, with an average donation of $27. Then consider the crowds he’s drawing, many of them young people. For the decades to come, the nation needs its youth to be enthused about and involved in the political process. Their intellectual and community development that will come with successful civic involvement offers hope. The Clinton’s were seen as hope offers and Obama was, too. But both of them have followed the marching orders of the economic elite, as illustrated by Goldman Sachs and companies immunity and continued influence and jobs going overseas. I have more sympathy for Obama, who has disappointed many progressives. However, be proud of him for dealing with the financial and foreign affairs disaster he inherited from the Neocons – Cheney and Bush. My sympathy also rest on an alleged quote replying to why he hadn’t helped the African American community more and stood up to the power establishment. Obama reportedly retorted, “You saw what they did to Martin [Luther King] didn’t you?” Obama really has had an achievement of just surviving as the first formal African American president (Bill Clinton supposedly holds the title as the first because he came up from the poor south, accompanied by indiscretions and saxophone playing). As a true model for all African Americans and anyone else, he did not get shot and has displayed true charisma, decorum, family strength and real sensibility. “How sensible are Sanders and his socialist policies?” any critical thinker might ask. He has been sensible enough to represent the knowledge of many people (just as Trump has) that the U.S. Government no longer represents 90 percent of its citizens. Sanders, as opposed to Trump, represents a more American Colonial form of revolution, preserving our institutions. Trump represents more of a violent French Revolution form where the ignorance of the peasants will have some heads rolling. For any uncertainty Sanders presents, those questions are nothing compared to the uncertainty that Clinton could be indicted over her e-mail practices with top-secret information. Her practices displayed true arrogance and entitlement. Further uncertainty exists because of Clinton’s IT chief, Bryan Pagliano, recent immunity deal with the Feds. He installed the server at Hillary’s home and previously had pleaded the 5th against possible self-incrimination. If he has been granted immunity, that is for testimony indicating a Grand Jury is

Delegate To The National Nominating Convention Sixteenth Congressional District

(PLEASE NOTE: Next to the name of each candidate for delegate appears in parentheses the candidate’s preference for President of the United States or the word “uncommitted”.) •John Daniel (Clinton) •Angela Lynn Macdonal (Clinton) •Sunil Puri (Clinton) •Jackie Richter (Clinton) •Travis Turner (Clinton) •Cameron Zelaya (O’malley) •David Trout (Sanders) •Art Bardsley (Sanders) •Eric Sterling (Sanders) •Danielle Dixon-Hernandez (Sanders) •Angelique Bodine (Sanders) •G. Kimball (Kim) MacCloskey (Sanders)

I find it interesting to note that there are six Sanders delegates and only five Clinton delegates. Most illustratively, Sunil Puri is one of the Clinton five. Although he is also known for his philanthropy and also for his support of embattled Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christianson, he certainly beams as a poster-child of the big-power elite. Compare him to folks like advocate Kim MacCloskey, a workman’s comp attorney and major sponsor of the Rockford Area Music Industry’s student scholarships. Pick five of the Sanders delegates.

Winnebago County Coroner

•Frank R. Fitzgerald •Anthony J. “Tony” Gasparini The Rock River Times endorses Frank Fitzgerald. Gasparini

represents business as usual in Winnebago County as it has been practiced for decades. As shown by the Chairman’s exploits, new faces

underway looking at Clinton. Various reports say she may get interviewed by the FBI as soon as May. She would not be the first Clinton to go astray of the law. She saying in effect, “I did not have secrets with that e-mail.” Sound familiar? Clinton “bends” the truth. The most recent example stands out in the Michigan contest where she asserted Sanders voted against the bail-out for the auto industry, which would really affect auto-worker’s votes in the state. Actually, Sanders voted against the bailout bill that included the auto industry and the banks. Subsequently, he did vote for the auto industry loans alone. Many polls have noted disapproval of Hillary’s twisting of the truth. I agree. She cannot be trusted. Sanders’ straight demeanor stands strong. Anyone with half a brain knows some of his grandiose equalizing plans will get slaughtered in the political process. At least he has the mindset and heartfelt concern for us to present them. Vote for Sanders. He’s an honest and good man. We need more of good men, and obviously good women, too. Many have predicted the skirt-jerk reaction of female support for Clinton. We need a woman president, just not Hillary. Don’t underestimate women’s intuition on this choice. Smart minds and hearts know a weasel when they see one. Don’t underestimate the African American vote for Sanders, either. He was the first to call for the resignation of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder for the water poisoning in Flint, Michigan, a primarily African American community. Hillary then jumped on the bandwagon. This is not a new tune for Sanders. In 1963. he was arrested at an anti-segregation protest in Chicago and was convicted of resisting arrest, complete with a $25 fine. As funny as it may seem, the real gold on Sanders glows in a paragraph from the his Wikipedia entry, which states: “Sanders rose to national prominence following his 2010 filibuster against the proposed extension of the Bush tax cuts. He favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries, and has built a reputation as a leading progressive voice on issues such as campaign finance reform, corporate welfare, global warming, income inequality, LGBT rights, parental leave, and universal healthcare. Sanders has long been critical of U.S. foreign policy and was an early and outspoken opponent of the Iraq War. He is also outspoken on civil liberties and civil rights, particularly criticizing racial discrimination in the criminal justice system as well as advocating for privacy rights against mass surveillance policies such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the NSA surveillance programs.” We need Sanders for our personal futures. Hillary is just a tape loop of the past power-structure pablum, being sampled and updated to keep pace with Bernie. He is gaining across the nation. Illinois is crucial. Help yourself and Sanders take the lead, and vote for leader we know will have our back instead of working behind our backs. Vote for Bernie Sanders. and approaches are needed. Coming from a 100-year-old family in the business, Fitzgerald shows good background and quality. Vote for Fitzgerald.

United States Senator •Andrea Zopp •Tammy Duckworth •Napoleon Harris

Vote for Tammy Duckworth. Anyone should love this gal. She’s got the big C – COURAGE. An Asian-American, she lost her legs serving us as an Army helicopter pilot in Iraq and then continued to serve for 10 years in the National Guard. She also served in veterans affairs on the state and federal level. Since 2013, she has served as the U.S. Congresswoman for Illinois’s 8th congressional district. Vote for Duckworth. She got the right stuff that stars are made of, and she will continue to shine.

Winnebago County Board Chairman •No candidate on ballot

You must WRITE-IN JOHN NELSON or Republican Frank Haney will not have an opponent in the November elections. Scott Christianson has ostensibly withdrawn from the race to spend more time with his family. Of course, the FBI investigation of Winnebago County’s “Pay to Pay,” purchasing irregularities, and elected officials’ misuse of county funds and property have nothing to do with his exit from the race. Wrong. Any observer of politics in Winnebago County surely finds his exit odd, considering he gathered the required petition signatures to get him on the ballot and was slated to appear. Christiansen made his announcement not to run after the deadline to file to appear on the primary and general election ballots. Democrats were not going to slate a candidate against him; but since it’s Haney they’re facing, long-time Democratic party stalwart John Nelson started a write in campaign. He must get more than 310 write-in votes in the primary to be on the November ballot. Write-in John Nelson.

The Rock River Times | March 9-15, 2016 |

Republican Party Ballot President of the United States •Donald J. Trump •Ted Cruz The Rock River Times endorses John Ka-

sich. The Ohio Governor is only level-headed candidate remaining in the field, even though he placed third in Michigan just last night. I like his experience and very calm demeanor. I can clearly see him as our nation’s leader and statesman. I cringe when I think of Rubio, Cruz or Trump in that role. Those three make me see why there are so many inquiries about moving to Canada. In what may be a predictive piece, The Washington Post reported the following on MSN.com: “Kasich showed no signs of backing down during his MSNBC interview Tuesday. ‘You can feel the momentum here in Michigan, thank goodness,’ he said. “His base of support was evident in the views of voters such as Kate Hude, a 38-year-old attorney in Lansing who said she supported Kasich and feared that the other candidates “are destroying their party. “‘I’m anti-Trump, anti-Cruz, anti-Rubio, and the Democrats don’t need my help right now,’ she said.” Fracturing the Republican party, a spoiler, Donald Trump roils division and the poorer side of the human nature of voters. These righteously angr y voters frequently say they would vote for either Trump or Sanders, rather than the broken, old-time party candidates. I have a facetious viewpoint about “The Dumpster.” I truly think Trump is from Egypt, for he epitomizes the land of denial and deception. By his own standards, could he be a radical Muslim? He is very exclusionary. Humble inclusion and diversity are not for him. His treatment of women would seem to fit, ala comments on former candidate Carly Fiorina’s appearance, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly’s womanly ways and now looks, and don’t forget his “hands-on” work in the 70s sexual prowess arena. I think he’d love to explore a birka. He acts like he owns oil fields, and his hair does resemble an ill-shaped Arab head-dress. He also has the entourage of a sheik, and similar security force standards towards any protesters. But really such a comparison is unfair – to radical Muslims. Fairly or unfairly, a European friend of mine echoed a historically chilling comparison many others see as well. My friend said, after watching a Trump rally, “I felt like I was in the 1930s, watching the birth of the Nazi Party, after the broken, old-time German officials were perceived to have sold out their country with the Treaty of Versailles [dare we say NAFTA? - parallel guilt and reparations over our massive debt and trade deficit with China?]. He egotistically was ranting about ‘We must be STRONG.’ He was throwing protesters to the voices of the angry people who supported him; I expected to see Brownshirts beating the protesters. Violence did not seem farfetched. He was asking people to pledge to vote for him like the SS oath. He was even gesturing like Hitler when he gave speeches, one hand up, a forefinger extended. Trump creeps me out. He seems to follow Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels’ dictums, ‘tell a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth’ and give the people someone to hate. The attitude toward the immigrants, Muslims were like the attacks on the Jews.

•Marco Rubio •John R. Kasich When he said ‘We must make America great again,’ the only words he left out were, ‘and pure Aryans.’ The rally was all too surreal.” Trump has denied he has heard these comparisons, and now says he will be a “uniter.” How do you unite people when you have called for a good percentage of their families to be tossed out of the country or not let into the country? His attacks on his fellow Republican candidates have been so virulent the party is such shambles they rolled out their last failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney to attack him. That backfired and everyone who’s fed up with the failures Republican stalwarts backed Trump even more. Even the appearance of Darth Vader Cheney and Billythe-Goat-Reader Ex-president Bush could not save Jeb Bush from a tanning at the polls. You’ve got to hand it to The Dumpster that he has brought record number of voters to the Republican primaries. These voters are sick of platitudes and poor standards of living. Many are looking at their retirement, and getting really angry with what they see as their future condition with the cost of health care and a threatened Social Security system. And the Republicans have been doing the threatening, and grid-locking the legislative bodies so governments do nothing. People are sick of government doing nothing. Like the Frankensteinian evolution of the Republican Libertarians to the Republican Tea Partiers, these people have no tolerance or sense of compromise. The nation’s 1 percent had better wake up. They should really prefer Bernie Sander’s “Political Revolution” to the The Dumpster’s “build-a-wall” revolution. During the American Revolution, we brought down the aristocracy and made them members of the new society. During the French Revolution, the aristocracy was beheaded and all the traditional clerical and cultural institutions were destroyed by the ignorant. Kings can fall two ways, by law, or by steel. Read Edmund Burke’s comparisons of the American and French revolutions through today’s eyes and Trumps. The huge irony is the Republican Party has the only two Hispanic candidates, Cruz and Rubio, and they are trying to swing farther out to the right than Trump. Avidly Evangelical Cruz clearly doesn’t get the separation of Church and State as much as he supposedly champions the Constitution. Does Cruz really think he can win the presidency in this modern age? Rubio actually had done some moderate work on immigration, which he backtracked on in the debates. I’m sure Hispanics in Florida loved that. Rubio’s automaton performances speak poorly as to his future adaptability. The only logical, rational, secure choice for Republicans is Kasich. Those who see this line of thought had better pray for him to do very well in his own state and in the other remaining contests. On the other hand, I think the consequences of brokered convention could completely break up the Republican Party. All the Republican King’s horses and all the Republican King’s men had better be ready to help Kasich put that Humpty Dumpty back together again. For sanity, vote for Kasich. Endorsements continue on Page 6.

Rockford Area Arts Council

here are many activities in the month of March that celebrate the importance of arts in education. “The Council for Art Education administers Youth Art Month at the national level. Festivities take place annually, traditionally each March, to celebrate arts for grades K-12. The Youth Art Month Program emphasizes the value of arts education for all children and encourages support for quality school art programs,” according to the National Art Education Association. On March 7 at the City Council meeting, Mayor Morrissey presented a proclamation in honor of the month and the importance of the arts. The lobby was filled with students as they demonstrated their talent. Open now through April 3, the Rockford Art Museum’s 75th Young Artists Show: High School Division, can be seen 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. As always, the talent is impressive.

United States Senator

•James T. Marter •Mark Steven Kirk The Rock River Times endorses incumbent

Senator Mark Kirk. A former Navy Reserve pilot, he has heroically come back from a stroke, and is on his game. His support for veterans is complete. His experience is far beyond that of party operative Marter, and he actually came around on the recent vote to let Obama make a nomination to replace deceased Supreme Court Judge Scalia. He has done good work supporting O’Hare Airport, state rail systems and other infrastructure improvements. He has environmental credits

On March 8 the Rockford Public Schools presented a free All City Music Festival featuring high school and middle school band, choir and orchestra performances at the Coronado Performing Arts Center. Artists’ Ensemble is striving to make professional theater accessible to all students. March 11-26 Artists’ Ensemble Theater, on the campus of Rockford University, is presenting Outside Mullingar, by Tony, Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award winning writer John Patrick Shanley. The regular student price at Artists’ Ensemble Theater is just $10, however they are also offering $5@5 Student Rush. At five minutes to curtain they will sell any empty seat to a student for just $5. If that student is under age one designated driver can also get in for $5. Call the box office at 815-3945004 between 11 a.m.-3 p.m. day of the show and ask about availability. This is an excellent show for middle school and up. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a perfect opportunity to show support of the arts to a broader community. For

the past few years the Rockford Area Arts Council has joined the St. Patrick’s Day Parade to spread the word. This year we have been so fortunate to have an incredibly dedicated partner and veracious arts advocate, Connie Kuntz. Kuntz is the Rockford Writers’ Guild President and Editor of The Rockford Review, and not only helped with Poetry Out Loud but has spearheaded sign making and rallying of marchers. Lineup is 2 p.m. at BMO Harris Bank parking lot on 7th street. The parade starts at 3. “The thought of seeing 100 artists, young and old, marching in the parade, holding signs that simply promote art (versus a personal agenda) makes me feel amazing,” said Kuntz. “I am eager to be a part of a pure and intelligent message. I absolutely believe that many parade watchers will be inspired by the march. We won’t be selling anything. We won’t be throwing candy. We won’t be promoting a political candidate. We will simply be marching with artful signs and with smiles on our faces and hope in our hearts. My hope is that we spark more people to create art.”

due to his work on Lake Michigan, state wetlands and Asian Carp. Besides some anti-corruption work, he is pro-choice and supported the Violence Against Women Act of 2013. He also voted for measures that have expanded the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Kirk is a moderate Republican and very conservative on fiscal issues. Vote for Kirk.

District 4

17th Congressional District

No endorsement for this race.

County Coroner

•Karla K. Zeal •William “Bill” Hintz As Deputy Chief Corner, Hintz has the experience, and is endorsed by outgoing Coroner Sue Fiducia. In the office since 1998, has vast experience dealing with the almost 3,000 deaths in Winnebago County each year. Zeal is a funeral director with a good education, but she cannot match Hintz’ acumen. Vote for Hintz.

Winnebago County Board Seats District 1

•Jim Dunn •Fay M. (Lyon) Jacobs •Aaron Booker •Randal L. Olson While Jim Dunn deserves respect in many ways, The Rock River Times endorses Aaron Booker. He endured great injustice under the administration of former Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers. His behavior and perseverance speak to his character and strength. He will make a great county board member who will stick up for the little guy, and fight corruption. Do not vote for Randal Olson unless you like politics as usual. Olson’s record on the Winnebago County Forest Preserve Board is a disaster, and he should not be in public office. Vote for Booker, a real champion of all the good principles of equal law enforcement.

•Robert Reffett •David D. Boomer •Ilah M. Tinder The Rock River Times endorses David Boomer. A well-known, and successful local plumber with a good business reputation, Boomer comes highly recommended by Winnebago County Board Member Steven Schultz (R-3). Since this paper considers Schultz one of a very small handful of totally honest and competent local politicians, he gets the endorsement. Boomer says he will not go along to get along and will stand up against corruption and cronyism. Voters will see if Schultz’s faith in him is deserved. A recent appointment, he has come out against the bond issue against party wishes. Accordingly, he deserves to keep the seat. Vote for Boomer.

District 6

•Keith McDonald •Dianne Parvin Too much uncertainty here. No endorsement in this race.

District 16

•Jean Crosby •John F. Sweeney The Rock River Times endorses Jean Crosby. Sweeney was instrumental in bringing forward the situation with former Winnebago County Purchasing Agent Sally Clausen and Chairman Christianson because his handlers State Senator Dave Syverson (R-35) and developer Sunil Puri did not want that fuse to burn up to them. Look at his D2s and you will see some very bad support. On that basis alone, he lost this endorsement and hopefully your vote. I used to really believe he would clean up the Winnebago County Republican Party if he was their leader. He can do some good bipartisan work when he puts his mind to it. Crosby is running against him with the theme of breaking up the cabal of Syverson, Sunil and Christiansen. Look for more good things from her in the future. That all depends on if she continues to have a backbone and doesn’t bow to down on zoning issues. Sweeney needs to work on mature decisions and part more with machine politics. Vote for Crosby. Winnebago County has to change.

Energy & Environment

The future of renewable energy in Illinois By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

s oil and gas prices crashed, renewable energy projects were expected to be shelved as they were in the 1980s. Instead in 2015 renewable capacity increased 30 percent globally as their costs continue to fall.

With the extension of the federal tax credits at 30 percent until 2020, renewable energy and energy efficiency investments are expected to increase within both the nation and Illinois. With net metering still in place in Illinois owners of renewable energy systems benefit from selling their excess production back to the utilities offsetting the need to build and operate facilities to meet costly peak power demands. While the state rebate program still exists, funds available to support new installations are limited and erratic. The future of renewable energy is greatly influenced by governmental policies. The renewable energy revolution has been driven by a combination of the economic benefits of lower costs and improving

technology and supportive government policies. The EPA Clean Power Plan was expected to reduce carbon emissions and benefit the renewable energy industry. The Supreme Court ruling placing the program on hold pending legal challenges is delaying its implementation. The budget impasse in Illinois dominates legislative concerns and little news has come out regarding energy policy. If existing policies remain in place modest gains in renewable energy installations and efficiency programs are expected along with larger increases in fossil fuel consumption. The Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition advocates raising existing energy efficiency standards to 20 percent by 2025 and renewable energy standards to 35 percent by 2030. The Union of Concerned Scientists released its Clean Path scenario for Illinois which gives priority to renewable energy and efficiency. Their scenario envisions substantial economic benefits to the state and electrical consumers. Some of the economic benefits would come through trading carbon credits to other states from cost effective renewable resources and energy efficiency installations. The model

assumes existing nuclear facilities would continue to operate through 2030 buoyed by expected increased natural gas prices which would restore the economic competitiveness of nuclear power. The big uncertainty facing such plans rests with the concerns of the utilities and the responses of legislators and the governor to their concerns. Judging by events on the national level, utilities have been active in protecting existing markets and putting up barriers to renewable energy and energy efficiency efforts. An article by Tim Dickerson in Rolling Stone calls attention to the nationwide effort by fossil fuel interests and utilities to block solar initiatives through actions on the state level. He cites a concern raised by the utility trade group Edison Electric Institute that

rooftop solar could damage the utility industry revenues and future growth. While Dickerson focuses on Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to capture its vast solar potential by the successful action of utility lobbying state legislators, similar actions are occurring in western states such as Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming. Existing policies in Illinois are still favorable for renewable energy installations but need to be upgraded to address concerns regarding climate change, air and water pollution, human health and sustainability. To protect what exists and improve on existing policies will require citizen action. Individuals and communities investing in renewable energy and efficiency now will protect environmental quality now and in the future. Reach the Vogls at sonia@essex1.com.

Verizon to pay $1.35M in FCC privacy case settlement By Julia Angwin ProPublica

Verizonagreedtopay$1.35milliontosettleFederal CommunicationsCommissionchargesthatitviolated customers’ privacy when it used a hidden undeletable number to track cellphone users. In the settlement, Verizon also agreed to make its unkillable “zombie” cookie opt-in, meaning that users are not tracked by default. Previously, users had been tracked by default unless they opted out. However,thesettlementdoesnotapplytoVerizon’s tracking of its customers who visit the 40 percent of websites that use AOL’s ad network. That is because Verizon owns AOL, and therefore it is not considered a third party that requires opt-in. That means that unless Verizon users opt out, they can still be identified when they use their smartphone

or tablet to browse Web pages containing AOL’s tracking code. The Verizon controversy dates back to the fall of 2014, when a flurry of news outlets, including Wired and ProPublica, reported that Verizon and AT&T were attaching tracking numbers to their subscribers’ Internet activity, even when users opted out. The tracking numbers could be used by websites to build a dossier about a person’s behavior on mobile devices — including which apps they use, what sites they visit and for how long. Soon after, AT&T stopped using the controversial identifiers. But Verizon said it would keep using them — and assured users on its website that “it is unlikely that sites and ad entities will attempt to build customer profiles” using its identifiers. In January of 2015, ProPublica reported that an

online advertising company was doing just what Verizon had promised wouldn’t happen. A company called Turn was using Verizon’s identifier to respawn tracking cookies that users had deleted. ProPublica dubbed the unkillable identifier a “zombie cookie.” Two days later, Turn said it would stop using the zombie cookie. And a few weeks later, Verizon also reversed course, and said users could now kill the previously unkillable cookie - but users still had to go in and fiddle with their privacy settings. In October, Verizon said it would give the zombie cookie a new life as a way to boost the tracking abilities of its AOL subsidiary. The new settlement is the latest sign that the FCC is stepping up privacy enforcement actions. The FCC chairman has said that the agency will soon propose new privacy rules for Internet providers.

In the Verizon case, the agency alleged that the company’s actions violated the privacy protections of the Communications Act. It also said Verizon violated the commission’s Open Internet rules, which requires telecommunications carriers to be transparent about the use of their customer’s proprietary information, and to only use to provide services. Verizon spokeswoman Adria Tomaszewski said that the FCC order would not change the company’s current practices because it had already stopped using the super-cookie in all cases except sharing with its AOL network. “Over the past year, we have made several changes to our advertising programs that have provided consumers with even more options,” Tomaszewski said. “Today’s settlement with the FCC recognizes that.”

Rauner: budget impasse won’t get in way of working to secure NGA

Although there isn’t a full budget for Illinois, money for capital projects will be put to work to help ensure a military intelligence operation moves to the Land of Lincoln, according to members of Congress and Gov. Bruce Rauner. Rauner said Friday that despite the state budget impasse, one project the governor said is a priority

is building infrastructure in hopes the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or NGA, western headquarters moves to metro-east St. Louis. “There is no budget impasse of any sort that will impact the investment and the infrastructure needed to make this facility work,” Rauner said. According to the governor, included in the

$115 million from the state for road improvements and infrastructure are funds to study bringing the MetroLink light rail train to the proposed NGA campus. The governor said St. Clair County will also offer for free to the federal government land for the operation and for further potential growth. Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said NGA will benefit from Illinois’ talent in computer science. “The talent pool that we have here in Illinois, all across downstate but particularly from our major college campuses … can benefit our government by making sure the best and brightest are part of the future of NGA,” said Durbin.

Turkey consul general urges more support in immigration crisis

Illinois should continue working with Turkey

to increase trade, cultural exchanges and efforts to handle migrants from war-torn Syria, according to the Turkish Consul General to the Midwest. Last week both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly heard from Umut Acar who addressed the need for the U.S. and Illinois to help with growing immigration as a result of the discord in Syria. “As Turkey can no longer shoulder this responsibility alone, we ask our allies and EU for burden sharing,” Acar said. Acar said Turkey has spent billions to help Syrian refugees, but more can be done amongst allies to address the migration crisis. The Associated Press reports that since 2012 the federal government has allocated $55 million to Illinois for refugee services.

Grace Lutheran recieves grant for early literacy

Grace Lutheran Preschool, 343 Grand Ave. Loves Park, was recently awarded a $500 grant from the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois (CFNIL) to support early childhood literacy. “We are excited to announce that Grace Lutheran Preschool has been awarded a grant of $500 by the President’s Discretionary Fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois,” preschool director Stacie Leese said. “We are grateful for this support and celebrate the generosity of the Foundation as we work to promote early literacy.” The funds will be used to purchase two wooden, mobile library shelving units (known as browsing carts) that are suitable for young children. These will safely house the nearly 700 children’s books that have been generously donated by families over the years. “Our preschool has wanted to create a true lending library for all of the children within our school and church family,” said Leese. “More importantly, we believe that this will help us to promote early literacy and the love of reading among our students and their siblings.” The remainder of the project expense will be covered by the school’s Carol A. Johnson Memorial Fund, named after a former dedicated director who also cherished books and encouraged early reading. Since 2000, CFNIL has granted more than $46 million for charitable purposes. Grace Lutheran Preschool has been serving the Greater Rockford community with licensed early childhood education since 1944. –Grace Lutheran Preschool • • • Drop us a line and let us know what your community organization is up to.

RRI chats with UFO’s Paul Raymond By Todd Houston

Exclusive to TRRT

ockford Rocked Interview: The Chicago area has always been a hot spot for UFO to play over the years. Different incarnations of the band have come through Rockford more than once and shared billing with locals Cheap Trick many times. You guys released the album A Conspiracy of Stars recently and are starting another U.S. tour March 2 in Akron, Ohio. What keeps UFO rolling and what do you attribute the bands longevity to? Paul Raymond: Recently, there seems to be a wave of nostalgia rising, perhaps as a consequence of a few bands of our era ceasing to exist in the last few years, such as Thin Lizzy, Dio, and now Motorhead. Particularly in the UK, we sold out the majority of venues on our tour there last year. I think a lot of people are thinking along the lines of “is this the last chance I have to see this band?” and to hear the original band play the music live. Remarkably, all members of UFO past and present are still alive and I hope it remains that way! RRI: You’ve also been busy with the Paul Raymond Project. What can you tell us about that? PR: There has been a Paul Raymond Project in existence since the late ‘80s in various incarnations. Initially in Japan and for a while in the UK it only existed as a studio project, but back in 2013 I put a band together for the album launch of Terms & Conditions Apply and subsequently with a line-up change we did a mini tour in early 2015 and a couple of shows in September to promote the Rewind 50 album which celebrated the anniversary of my 50 years as a professional musician. I’d love to do more, but the band are scattered to the four corners of the UK so it’s really difficult to arrange rehearsal time in between my UFO commitments. It’s an ongoing project and there will be more albums and perhaps more live shows in the future. RRI: You play the guitar upside down ala Albert King. Was it difficult playing like that early on? PR: It has had its problems technically, but generally I think I get a brighter sound by strumming upwards. Michael Schenker once paid me a huge compliment back in 1998 by saying, “I have played in a two guitar band with many different people, but I think your sound complements me the best.” RRI: In recent years I’ve seen the epic UFO song Try me (Lights Out) included in some of the live shows. What inspired you to write the classic opening piano intro? PR: Try Me started out life as just a guitar solo (which you hear in the middle of the song) Phil said, “We can make a song out of this, have you

any ideas for a vocal melody for the verse?” He already had the very strong chorus (the Try Me bit) so I came up with the vocal melody and we wrote the lyrics together in a rehearsal room in London while the other guys went to the pub. The only missing element was the introduction – so I drew on my classical training and with the essence of the song in mind – created the intro you are referring to. Ron Nevison seemed very pleased with it. RRI: According to former UFO bass player Paul Gray and Cheap Trick’s Bun E. Carlos, UFO had a reputation as a hard rocking band that liked their drink and loved to have fun on the road. Would this be a fair assessment of the early days? PR: Yes , I could write a novel about it, but then again, most of it would be unprintable! RRI: Speaking of Cheap Trick do you have any memories of playing Rockford’s Coronado with Rick Derringer or Alpine Valley (East Troy)

Wisconsin with Cheap Trick? PR: None at all! (Laughs) RRI: Favorite song to play live? PR: I’m a Loser – it’s so beautifully constructed. A simple verse, a nice middle section, great chorus and an incredible solo section. RRI: Who would win in an arm wrestling contest, former UFO bass player Pete Way or UFO singer Phil Mogg? PR: Funny you should mention that! Phil always prided himself on his arm wrestling prowess – until around 10 years ago when we had a guitar tech named Oskar who reluctantly took Phil on. On numerous occasions, spurred on by Pete Way, shouting from the background “Come on Champ, you can do it” and with money on the table, he beat him every time, much to Phil’s distress. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been much talk of arm wrestling in recent years!

A Tube Talk Q&A with Life or Debt host Victor Antonio By Paula Hendrickson

Television Columnist

ho can’t use some of free financial advice reducing debt and increasing savings? When I learned the host of Spike’s new series, Life or Debt, grew up within 100 miles or so of Rockford, I became even more interested in the show. I had a chance to ask the host, Victor Antonio, a few questions. His answers reveal a bit of what you’ll learn from his new show. Paula Hendrickson: How did growing up in Chicago prepare you to help other people set their finances straight? Victor Antonio: My upbringing helped me develop a strong aversion to financial instability. My parents moved to Chicago from Puerto Rico in the late ‘50s not knowing the language and with a 5th grade education at most. We lived near Humboldt Park, which at the time was one of the most violent areas, because my parents simply didn’t earn a lot of money. My mother eventually became disabled with a back injury, putting the full brunt of financial burden on my father. That financial instability led to arguments, drinking, fights, and eventually separation. It’s something I don’t want other families to go through. When families fight back, I fight harder because I can see what will happen if things don’t change. PH: What is the hardest – or most useful – lesson you’ve learned about managing money? VA: The short answer is, “Stop trying to impress others.” Too often we are driven by comparison. It’s the hardest thing to learn because our brain is wired to compare and register discrepancy. We look at what others have and try to match what they have while at the same time sacrificing our own financial stability. We strive to keep up with the Joneses. The reality is that 75 percent of

American families are living paycheck-to-paycheck (i.e., the Joneses are most likely broke). When you stop trying to impress others by not comparing, you are then free to focus your financial resources on what’s important to you. PH: In your experience, what’s harder to overcome: well-paid people who spend without saving, or lower-income people who don’t have much, if anything, left at the end of the month to “pay themselves,” and why? VA: Both are equally hard for different reasons. High-income earners can cut back and achieve positive cash-flow, but too often they’re mentally vested (i.e., stubborn) when it comes to giving up luxuries. They have the ability to be financially stable, but lack the will and discipline to do it. In short: good income, bad mindset. Low-income earners are willing to work with me but they don’t have any place to cut back because they’ve already cut as much as they can. Which means, we have to figure out a way to get

them to earn more, which is far more difficult than simply cutting expenses. In short: bad income, good mindset. PH: Do you advocate any type of incentive system to motivate people to save more or spend less? VA: I’m really torn on this question. I’m not a believer in extrinsic motivation (i.e., reward); I’m an intrinsic motivation type of guy. To reward yourself with a dinner, vacation, day at the spa, is fine I guess, but I believe the REAL reward should be satisfaction. The satisfaction you get in knowing that you’ve paid off another credit card. The growing peace of mind that comes in seeing your debt load dwindling. The momentum you feel when you’re getting more and more in control of your finances. That, to me, is better than any extrinsic reward you can give yourself. Plus, it’s hard to enjoy an incentive when you’re still in debt. PH: What are the worst financial habits you’ve seen in your clients? And the best? VA: The worst would shopping because you’re

unhappy, depressed, or angry. All three moods lead to poor purchase decisions. A close second would be couples who spend money on ‘wants’ and not ‘needs.’ The best I’ve seen is couples who automate their contributions, whether it’s the maximum possible into a 401K or 10 percent of their pay directly into a savings account. PH: What is the most common mistake people tend to make when it comes to money? VA: The Credit Card Debt Spiral. People put a little bit of money on their credit card and think nothing of it. They pay off the card at the end of the month and the cycle begins again next month with new debt. Until one day the amount on the credit is a little more than they can afford and they miss a payment. Then, the new 29.99 percent APR kicks in. They miss another full payment and so on until one day they settle on just paying the minimum. And when you’re paying the minimum, you’ve entered the Debt Spiral and they ask themselves, “How did this happen?” PH: How are you using Life or Debt to educate people about money management? VA: People tend to have a selective blind spot when it comes to their own shortcomings, but are quick to judge others. This show is about telling the story of how people got into debt. And in telling that story, we hope that people will see themselves in it. We also show how families can get out of debt by using our blueprint and financial tools. We also hope that as people are watching, they’ll learn how they too can achieve financial stability by applying the principles of running your family like a business.

Life or Debt premieres Sunday at 9:00 p.m. on Spike. Follow Paula on Twitter: @P_Hendrickson.

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 three weeks to help keep Cupid’s heart on your mind. • • • • • “In Our Valley of Snow” gives us the classic turning-inwardness of lovers, who view their bed as being the whole world. The poem expresses that feeling of “here we are, here’s our bed, the world is out there, and it’s cold and unwelcoming—either metaphorically or actually, as in the Midwest in winter—but our inside world of love and companionship is warm and inviting, and we don’t care. We don’t! We can stay here under the lovely covers forever—or at least until spring.” Who hasn’t felt the burrowing that lovers feel, so attuned to each other that the rest of the world falls away. And good riddance! At least until spring when the first crocus will sing our lovers awake. Not that they haven’t been singing all winter long. Singing “yes” to the frost on the windows and snow drifts that block the door, because, in this case, winter is in cahoots with the lovers and hides them or keeps them locked into their cocoon. They have communicated winter-long by touch and whispers—quietly, subtly. Almost as if they are half-asleep. Spring will sing them awake. Drifts and ice will melt, doors and windows will open. The first flowers of spring bring an innate joy—everybody’s felt it. But perhaps especially lovers. –Dr. Susuan Porterfield

In Our Valley of Snow By Dan Kenney

cloistered in our cove of down, we shall by touch and whispers weather this longest of winters. Spooned beneath hand-stitched quilts our bodies sing yes! - to frost etched glass, and drifts around our door. Soon, we will be sung to wake by spring’s first crocus.

One-part absurd, all-parts action London Has Fallen is everything you want from a stock blockbuster By Thomas Simpson

Contributor

lympus Has Fallen exploded onto our screens in 2013, creating a new, if not original, action hero in Gerard Butler’s Mike Banning, a Secret Service agent tasked with killing a small nation of terrorists who have seized the White House. Harsher critics dismissed it as a Die Hard rip-off, and although it was, it also proved to be a tense action thriller and better than the recent releases featuring John McClane. Now Banning is back as he strives to protect the President (Aaron Eckhart) from another small nation of terrorists only this time London is his playground. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain dies unexpectedly, his hastily prepared funeral results in many world leaders attending at short notice. This turns out to be one huge trap as the bad guys start taking out the leaders of the Western World in a carefully orchestrated attack. For all their planning, they didn’t have Banning in their equation. With the city on lockdown, there’s panic on the streets of London as Banning kills and quips his way to ensue the President’s safety. There will be much made of this film, especially its depictions of the villains. The bland Middle Eastern villains invoke memories of ‘90s actions films with its casual xenophobia and ultra patriotic mes-

sage. London Has Fallen is ridiculous, and maybe even offensive, but it’s undeniably a lot of fun. The set-pieces are gloriously absurd with the one liners as brutal as the death scenes. Thankfully it doesn’t take itself seriously so there’s no guilt in laughing at the dialogue such as Banning responding to the news he’s facing down 100 terrorists with the line “Yeah, well they should have brought more men.”

Director Babak Najafi replaces Antoine Fuqua while Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin Benedikt return as writers alongside Chad St. John, and Christian Gudegast. Sure they inject the script full of cliches and tropes but the pace never lets up meaning that this is a hugely enjoyable and exciting action film. The half-hearted social commentary is weak and is treated like the filler it is. There’s little complexity to the characters,

what you see is what you get and it works perfectly for this type of film. London Has Fallen is predictable and lacks any real tension due to it. If it’s popcorn munching entertainment you’re after however, it packs enough thrills in its 99 minutes run time that it’ll keep you interested.

Commentary

How do Rauner and Madigan sleep at night?

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

‘H

ow do they sleep at night?” It’s a question I’m asked a lot these days. The inquirers always wonder how Gov. Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Michael Madigan and their more full-throated enablers on both sides can live with themselves as they watch big chunks of the state government’s responsibilities crumble before their very eyes during the months-long governmental impasse. As far as I can tell, they’re sleeping pretty well. And both sides appear to be using almost the exact same coping strategies. Rauner and his crew say they’re horribly upset that Illinois doesn’t yet have a budget, but it’s all being stopped by one man, Madigan. Until Madigan and the legislators he controls decide to compromise, there’s nothing Rauner can do, they say. Simple. Move along. Speaker Madigan and his crew have been saying for months that Rauner is operating in the extreme by demanding non-budgetary items that go against core Democratic principles. Until Rauner changes course, they say, there’s nothing Madigan can do. Simple. Move along. Both men also see the key to a solution in the rank and file membership of the other party. Rauner repeatedly insists, without offering evidence, that several rank-and-file legislative Democrats are ready to stand against Madigan. The governor seems to truly believe that he’s not far away from breaking this thing wide open, despite the shunning of Rep. Ken Dunkin by his fellow House Democrats for openly siding with Rauner and the fortune being spent in a primary to tar and feather Dunkin, who dared stand up to Madigan and the unions. Madigan, for his part, believes that a big key to solving this crisis is to continue putting pressure on House Republicans — forcing them to take the worst votes possible, like standing against college MAP grants for impoverished students. He did it again last week by forcing an override motion on a vetoed MAP grant appropriations bill. Madigan rightly notes that the Republicans have cracked before and forced Rauner to relent

on funding for child care, local governments, etc. All he has to do is wait them out, even though there’s that little problem of Sen. Sam McCann being shunned by his fellow Senate Republicans and the fortune being spent in the primary to tar and feather McCann, who dared to stand with the unions and against the governor. Rauner and Madigan are also portraying each other as almost the embodiment of evil in their respective proxy campaigns. The imagery is ugly on both sides. Both men are also employing anti-Chicago rhetoric, with Rauner demanding a state takeover of the city’s schools and swearing off a bailout. For their part, Madigan and his suburban and Democratic members claim Rauner’s proposed school takeover idea is actually a state bailout, and they strongly oppose sending money to the big, bad city at the expense of their own districts. In the meantime, Chicago’s school system was forced last month to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars at usurious interest rates just to keep its doors open during the impasse. Chicago

State University accelerated its spring semester in order to limp through the academic year and has sent layoff notices to every one of its 900 employees. Western Illinois University just announced layoffs and cuts. Eastern Illinois University’s bond rating was just downgraded to junk status. Northern and Northeastern Illinois Universities were both downgraded to one notch above junk. Rape crisis centers are closing, homeless teens can’t get help and drug treatment programs are going out of business. And yet, there’s no end in sight. Senate President John Cullerton has tried to play mediator, but that’s going nowhere as long as Madigan is dealing with his own Democratic primary opponent who’s funded mainly by Rauner’s

supporters, and as long as Rauner is fully engaged in GOP primaries around the state. Primary day is March 15. Both sides are seemingly trying to demonstrate to the other that their actions can have real electoral consequences. So, on March 16th we may know whether or not a truce can be called long enough to fix at least some of these problems. But Madigan doesn’t easily forget attacks like these, nor does he cotton to outsiders meddling in his and his members’ primaries. And the governor seems committed to win at all costs. Plus, I’ve learned over the years to always bet on nothing when it comes to getting something done in Illinois. It’s the historically smart play and you’re only wrong once.

pon reaching 70, I no longer enjoy going to the YMCA as much as I used to but I still have to get my exercise so luckily I love to walk. I drive all the way to the west side of town to go to my favorite Farm and Fleet store to look for some kind of clothing ware that will allow me to continue walking during the long Rockford winter. I score an insulated Carhartt jacket to which, for a few dollars more, I am able to add an Eskimo type hood and I am ready for the coldest weather Rockford can order up. Around noon on Wednesday I set out on what has become a regular favorite path, down through Haight village to Morgan Street, past the Health Department that used to be the Rockford College Science Center, past my buddy Jon’s old limestone house (that Tim owned before him) that was incidentally the (as yet unrecognized) home of Rockford College. (Jon and I have proof for any local historian who is willing to listen.) I wend my way around the filling station to cross the Morgan Street bridge. This is an accomplishment in the winter because the sidewalks were evidently made too narrow for any of the cities automated snow removal equipment, so you have to take your life in your hands staying close to the rail but putting your hands at ready in the event you slip and quite easily fall in the direction of the oncoming traffic. This tends to lower the relaxation factor but I just put my head down and get through it. Most of the auto drivers are courteous and pull over or change lanes when they pass me. There is however one giant black pick-up that misses me by only a foot or so. We’ve all dealt with someone like that at one time or another. I turn the corner at Morgan and State, walk by my friend Kerry’s CCS Youthbuild/Salvage Too building and head for Stephanie Caltagerone’s new restaurant Magpie. I have been thinking about her since I walked by her place about a week ago. She really has the only place downtown to get breakfast on a weekday. I have been talking about someone doing this for some time now and I am glad that she was the one to do it. Fortunately, she is in the path of one of my favorite walks and I have been there twice for breakfast, once with my good friend Dan Ford co-owner of the Office. (Dan really liked the sausage and fed me some to prove how good it was.) I had offered her some of the Irish Rose tables (we are installing all new tables at the Rose and someone might be able to make use of the old ones). But she said she had decided not to use them. What I really wanted to do though was to relate a few old tales to her. I wanted to advise her to walk the downtown and introduce herself to the businesses personally. The first time I

heard about something like this it was about Jimmy Vitale when he opened Jungle Jim’s in the late ‘70s. When I came back from New York in 1982 to open the Old Rock River Cafe I visited every office and business in the whole downtown area. One day I was working my way back and I stood in front of the then Bess Hotel and to my disbelief, the entire restaurant was packed. In his book, Rich Melman tells a very similar story about his first restaurant RJ Grunts. He was failing and he was working out the details of closing his first (then) restaurant in his mind while he was out soliciting and was standing across the street thinking about how to tell his people when he looked across the street at his restaurant which was full and he had to hurry in to help his staff handle the business. When I opened my restaurant in Rockton, Illinois I worked everything from the north side of Beloit down to Loves Park. So anyway that’s what I wanted to say to Stephanie. On the way out the door I see my old buddy Frank Schier and I ask him to tell Stephanie that I am telling the truth. Frank was the first bartender at the original Irish Rose, 33 years ago. He backs me up and I ask him if I can write a column and here it is, at least the first part, if Frank decides to run both parts. I walk the rest of the way back to the Irish Rose and feel that deep relaxation that only comes from walking. Until I open my mail. More next week. I have just returned to the Irish Rose from my long refreshing walk which included a stop at Stephanie Caltagerone’s new Magpie Restaurant. I am as relaxed as a person can be, walking does that for me, when I open my mail to find that I have received an electric bill from my supplier Constellation Energy, the nation’s largest energy supplier. This is unexpected because according to the terms of the contract they will bill me through Commonwealth Edison as they have for the entire time of the previous year’s contract. I had been paying my bills the previous Wednesday and there had been no electric bill, so I called Com-Ed to ask why. I was informed by the person on the phone that they still had not received a bill for the electric portion of the bill from Constellation. I inquired as to whether I could do my own estimate and overpay so that the money would be there when the bill from Constellation would arrive. I like to keep expenses in the month in which they accrue so that my financials more correctly reflect my actual business. The voice on the phone said sure, no problem. So I sent them $1,000, an amount that closely resembled my last two electric bills. But now I am looking at a bill for an additional $800, and this is January when I have the smallest cash flow and I am just trying to make it to March, additionally I have just emptied my

account paying bills. Ask any of my restaurant compatriots and they will explain to you what I mean. So at this point I have $728 in overpayment to Com-Ed and a new $800 bill to Constellation. Visions of raiding my small retirement account dance in my head. I call Com-Ed to see if they will transfer the amount to Constellation, something they do every day and something they have been doing with my account for a year. As a consumer, you know that I am not expecting any kind of cooperation and I am not surprised when they give me a hard time. Everyone out there knows that these are the kind of calls we dread. We dread them because we know we are going to be talked down to, that it is going to be deemed to be our fault in some way and that the one thing we will not get is a resolution of our problem. In this I am not disappointed. Finally, after being left on hold for more than 30 minutes I hang up and place a call to the Illinois Commerce Commission. After explaining myself for the third time the lady from the Commerce Commission puts me on hold and when she finally comes back brings someone from Com-Ed on the line with her. The woman from ComEd (Anette) describes herself as being on the Com-Ed board. She basically tells me that it is my fault and that her people have done nothing wrong and that I can apply for a refund but that it will take a week or more to process my request and then a week to 10 days to issue a check. So essentially there was nothing she can do for me. The woman from the Commerce Commission (Jessa) is on the phone listening during this whole time. I try to explain to her that I did not do this on my own but only after consulting one of her people who told me that a bill would be forth coming when Com-Ed received the billing from Constellation and that they would be able to coordinate my overpayment with that billing and that we could resolve any short payment on the next billing cycle. Anette defends this position and says that that is what her person should have told me and that that was what she would have told me herself, but that they cannot transfer my overpayment to Constellation. Additionally, she says that I will have to produce a copy of the check because I may not be entitled to the refund. I inquired how that might be and she says that, for instance, my Aunt Minnie might have paid the bill and in that event the refund should be to her. I state that I had been paying the bills for the Irish Rose to their company using Irish Rose Inc. checks for 25 years and I have over an 800 credit rating and I think this part of her request is ridiculous. She is adamant about there being nothing she can do for me. The woman from the ICC is on the line listening during all this conversation. She ends

by saying that she is going to file a complaint against Constellation on my behalf. She says nothing about Com-Ed (and I think the problem is their fault). All my relaxation now being down the drain I set out on foot for my State Representative’s (Litesa Wallace’s) office. I am greeted by her assistant and listened to without being once told I am wrong or stupid. In fact, the assistant to the representative states that she has had the identical complaint from a constituent the previous day. She tells me that she feels I can be better helped by someone in another office and leads me down the hall to Senator Stadelman’s office where I run into longtime friend Marke Bonne who is an assistant to the Senator. For the fourth or fifth time that day I explain my predicament. Mark calls a number of folks for me and then while we are still talking I get a phone call from Constellation on my cell phone. I ask the caller from Constellation if it is okay to put her on my speaker phone as I am at my State Representative’s office. “State Senator’s” Mark calls out to correct me. There is suddenly silence on the phone. When the voice comes back it is conciliatory and there are long pauses between the questions and her answers. After I get off the phone, after explaining everything for the fifth or sixth time, I walk back to the Irish Rose, not really expecting anything to happen but being glad that I raised hell. What I kept saying continuously, and I truly believe, is that if these were two private companies and there was a problem of payment of this type where both were receiving funds to be split, that it would be a two or three-minute phone call at best to get it resolved and that this is what we should expect from our utility companies also. Both companies were going out of their way, just to be difficult. Two days later, I receive a check from ComEd. The impossible has occurred, they have managed to look up my check, they had a copy, and they have issued a check which I then use to pay my other bill. That afternoon I get a call from Stadelman’s office and am able to tell the caller that the office has solved my problem. Fast forward to this month. Again I am paying my bills. Again there is no Com-Ed bill. Again I call. Again Constellation has not billed Com-Ed. “You could just estimate it and pay what your bill usually is,” the voice on the other end of the phone says. “No thanks,” I say, “I did that last month and had to go to my State Senator’s office to get it straightened out.” The following day I get separate bills from Constellation and Com-Ed again. Is there no end to this? I feel like I am in the twilight zone. Everyone I know can give a similar example. Shouldn’t we expect more from our utility companies than this?

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of March 9-15, 2016

This Week: The solar eclipse in Pisces on March 8/9 will be the emphasis of this week providing plenty of highs and lows. However; this is a great time to remove old wornout items, ideas and habits. This planetary climate will support such endeavors, as well as allowing plenty of time for self reflection. This won’t be as complicated as it may appear, but if we’re going to choose this week to go toe-to-toe with another, I wouldn’t advise you to bring a knife to a gunfight. Some things are better off left unsaid. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You’re off to a good start regarding a new business arrangement or creative project. Connections you’re making now will continue to grow and develop throughout the entire year and well into 2017. This is a time frame where you can remove annoying debt as well as create a solid foundation for your future. Midweek provides you with a fresh romantic encounter, Aries. Enjoy! Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— A final disbursement of tied up funds will be released and distributed in your favor or in the favor of a loved one you cherish at this time. This puts your mind at ease and now you can focus your thoughts and energies in other directions. Those annoying home projects begin to disintegrate one by one with the help of those professional connections you have aligned yourself with recently. Doing it yourself is fine, but when you weigh and balance the time and energy spent it’s best to employ those who are fair as well as competent, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your overly hectic schedule begins to stabilize during this time frame and you’re in a position to take a breather before the next surge begins. Use this time wisely to focus on rest and relaxation, as well as exercise and proper nutrition. You’re aligning some magnificent paychecks in the coming months to balance out any financial strain. Things are looking up, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Now that you’re back on a regular schedule you can begin to indulge in your favorite hobbies that you have unintentionally set on the back burner for quite some time now. There is no place like home and you are enjoying the time you have with family and loved ones within the comforts of your own four walls. Romantic aspects are beginning to align during the month of March. All eyes are on you, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Everything begins to slow down to a snail’s pace for a while midweek. Try not to panic, this is giving you the opportunity to rest and recover a bit from a health issue or an overbooked schedule. Romance opportunities are becoming a focus at this time. A love from your past has an epiphany

and may be in an emotional place to share it with you. Be open and receptive, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A friend or romantic interest may call you on the carpet about your behavior. Count to 10 before you lash out and try to take a good look at what they are trying to say. Maybe they are worried about your health and welfare. Don’t dismiss them until you’ve had the chance to digest their intentions. They may be trying to help you out. Your fuse can get quite short at times so try to lengthen it a bit this week, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Your worries about your personal life will become unfounded shortly. The past has greatly affected the way you see your future unfolding. Innocent until proven guilty should become your motto at this time. Trust and be trustworthy and all will fall into place. Take a day off to get all of your annoying responsibilities out of the way. Once you feel caught up it’s easier to stay that way, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You will be watching the motives of another very closely at this time. Someone is preparing to fall short of their responsibilities and allow you to pick up the slack. You will need to set a boundary with this person immediately, otherwise the inmates will take over the prison. Put an end to ugly gossip that is flying around the neighborhood or workplace at this time. You will be held in high regard if you do, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — This will prove to be a very lucky time frame especially with financial aspects. An unexpected windfall will occur now. Your hard work and

efforts are noticed by others as well as your talent. The media may take a shine to you at this time. A phone call from a friend or lover from the past will prove to be very enlightening, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Busy schedules have not permitted you to connect with friends or family as you would wish to until now. It almost appears as though you may feel a bit estranged from loved ones this week. Try not to take the behaviors of others personal now. As information is revealed you will find that those around you have been overwhelmed with emotional issues. Perhaps they were trying not to burden you with these aspects, Capricorn Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Romance and finance are the main courses this week providing you with plenty of wells to draw from at this time. You’re making some physical changes that will affect your emotional status in a positive light. Now would be a good time to leave some bad habits behind for good. Not only will this improve your health and outlook, this will also fatten up your wallet, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Once you make the decision to change residence or a career path, stick to it! Change is not an easy element to deal with. The unknown always kicks up some fear and reservations, but you need to break free of the stagnation that’s been bringing you down. Even your loved ones will encourage you to take a leap of faith. Go for it, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN -1

Summary

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.

Have you heard the commercial about the new FDA approved drug that is to help you with depression or an add on to your present anti-depressive drug? The name of this drug is called Rexulti and here are the side effects and after reading them you can decide if you want your medical doctor to write you a prescription. Rexulti causes: schizophrenic tendencies, increase risk of death in elderly people, increase suicidal thought and increase rates of depression. Just think a depressive drug that causes increased rates of depression. The drug Ritalin which is the drug of choice for treating childhood hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder is a stimulant with the same dependency profile as cocaine. Millions of children with normal childhood behaviors have been put on this drug which have been proven safe by psychiatrists but since has been proven to cause aggravated behavior, psychosis, suicide, heart attacks, strokes and death. I love reading about the Path of Destruction with the history of depression. 1930’s Psychosurgery, 1940’s Electroshock Therapy, 1950’s Thorazine the first anti-psychotic drug and now Drugging Society. I have been blessed to be able to help many adults and children with anxiety and depression issues.

Depression is not a lack of Rexulti. ADD and ADHD is not a lack of Ritalin. Depression is many things. When I work with people with anxiety and depression, I look at hormonal numbers, I look at diet, I look at liver function, I look at pancreatic function, I look at Vitamin D levels, I look at mineral levels, I look to see how you are sleeping, how you feel when you wake up and so much more. Do you know that when you are overly anxious/depressed that this puts stress on your Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Adrenals and Thyroid due to elevated hormones and cortisol connection? When people come to me with anxiety/ depression concerns, I suggest that they raise their Serotonin levels naturally, Dopamine levels naturally, Norepinephrine levels naturally along with working with their sleep patterns and helping internal organs. If I can help you or a loved one with anxiety and depression issues, please do not hesitate to call my office to make an appointment. It is time to take your life back for you deserve to be happy. Julia Michniewicz is Naturopathic Doctor who is celebrating her 16year cancer free by not doing the chemical therapy and radiation. If she can help you or a loved one with health and happiness, please call her at 815-962-3326.

Revised expectations with the March 1 corn stocks estimate By Debra Levey larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – On March 31, the USDA will release the quarterly Grain Stocks report containing an estimate of the stocks of corn that were in storage as of March 1. The information in that report may be over shadowed by the estimate of producer planting intentions released in the Prospective Plantings report on the same day. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the corn stocks estimate will still be important as it allows a calculation ofthemagnitudeoffeedandresidualuseofcornduring the second quarter of the marketing year. In turn, that calculation will provide the basis for evaluating likely feed and residual use for the entire year and the likely magnitude of year-ending stocks. “Anticipating the magnitude of the March 1 stocks estimate begins with an estimate of the supply of corn available during the December 2015-February 2016 quarter,” Good said. “Stocks at the beginning of the quarter were estimated at 11.212 billion bushels in the December Grain Stocks report. Census Bureau estimates show imports during December 2015 and January 2016 totaling 14 million bushels. Imports for the quarter, then, may have been near 20 million bushels, resulting in a total available supply of 11.232 billion bushels.” Next, an estimate of exports and domestic processing uses of corn during the quarter can be made

based on weekly and monthly data available to date. “An estimate of exports is based on cumulative weekly export inspection estimates available for the entire quarter and Census Bureau estimates for the first two months of the quarter,” Good explained. “Cumulative marketing-year export inspections through the first half of the marketing year totaled about 603 million bushels. Through the first five months of the year, cumulative Census export estimates exceeded cumulative export inspections by 34 million bushels. If that margin persisted through February, exports in the first half of the year totaled 637 million bushels. Exportsinthefirstquarterwerereportedat303million bushels, leaving 334 million bushels as an estimate of second quarter exports.” Domestically, the USDA’s Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report estimated that a total of893millionbushelsofcornwereusedforethanoland co-productproductioninDecember2015andJanuary 2016. Good said that based on weekly estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), ethanol production during February 2016 was 3.3 percentlargerthanduringFebruary2105.Theincrease was aided by an additional day in 2016. “If corn used for ethanol and co-product production in February 2016 also increased by 3.3 percent, use for the month totaled about 407 million bushels,” Good said. “Use for the quarter, then, is estimated at 1.3 billion bushels.”

half of that year accounted for about 69 percent of the marketing-year total. What pattern is being followed this year? “If last year’s pattern is being repeated this year, and the USDA projection for the year is correct, feed and residual use during the first half of the year should have totaled about 3.657 billion bushels,” Good said. “Based on revised estimates of corn used for ethanol and co-product production during the first quarter of the 2015-16 marketing year, feed and residual use totaled 2.199 billion bushels during that quarter. Second quarter use, then, would be projected at 1.458 billion bushels. Adding that use to the estimates of exports and domestic processing uses, results in a projection of total quarterly use of 3.432 billion bushels. That total would leave March 1 stocks at 7.8 billion bushels, 50 million bushels larger than stocks of a year earlier. “The dilemma in interpreting the March 1 corn stocks estimate to be released on March 31 is that the seasonalpatternoffeedandresidualuseforthecurrent year will not be known until the year is over,” Good concluded. “Based on the historical fluctuation in that pattern, a stocks estimate within 150 million bushels of 7.8 billion bushels probably should not change expectations that feed and residual use is on track to reach 5.3 billion bushels for the year. Nevertheless, the corn market will likely react to a stocks estimate that reveals a pace of feed and residual consumption that is much different than that of last year.”

The USDA projects that 1.37 billion bushels of corn willbeusedtoproduceotherfoodandindustrialproducts during the 2015-16 marketing year. “Typically, about 49 percent of that use occurs in the first half of the marketing year,” Good said. “If that pattern is followed this year, and the USDA projection is correct, use during the first half of the year likely totaled 671 million bushels. Use during the first quarter was reported at 331 million bushels, leaving the second quarter consumption estimate at 340 million bushels.” For feed and residual use, the question is how large should use have been during the second quarter of the marketing year if use is on track to reach the USDA’s projection of 5.3 billion bushels for the entire year? “Thehistoricalseasonalpatternoffeedandresidual use should be helpful in answering that question, but that pattern has fluctuated over time,” Good said. “For example, during the 15 years ending with the 2009-10 marketing year, use during the first half of the year ranged from 61.6 percent to 70.3 percent of the marketing-year total, with an average of 65 percent. For the four years ending with the 2013-14 marketing year, use during the first half of the year ranged from 72.9 percent to 75.6 percent of the marketing-year total, with an average of 74 percent.” Based on recent USDA revisions in the estimated amount of corn used for ethanol and co-product production during the 2014-15 marketing year, Good said that feed and residual use during the first

Growing raspberries: management and pruning By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Now that you’ve decided on the type of raspberry you are going to grow, you’ll need to address the plant’s needs through management. Raspberry plants benefit from mulching around the plants. This should be no thicker than 2 inches to avoid rodents. The mulch can help with weed control and keeping water in the soil. Raspberry plants should have frequent, shallow irrigation of 1-1/2 inches every 7-10 days. Having a rain gauge nearby can determine if your plants are getting the water they need or if you will need to irrigate further. Raspberry plants need to be pruned. There isn’t any way of getting around it. By pruning, your plants will be more robust, address disease/insect issues, and potentially help you with yield. Pruning depends on the type of raspberry whether red, yellow, black, or purple. Yellow and red are pruned quite similar while black and purple are pruned differently. You’ll either prune after harvest or in the dormant period of winter. There still is some time to prune these plants although you need to do this soon. Summer pruning can occur for yellow/red immediately after harvest by removing the

floricanes that fruited. This allows for future improved production and primocanes to spread out. Red/yellow can be mowed also be mowed. There are two options. The first is an alternate year mowing where all are mowed in the fall. It reduces your costs for pruning but can reduce fruit quality and yield. The second option is alternate year mowing but suppressing the primocanes. Suppression of the primocanes is when you cut the primocanes initial growth but then allow for it to grow after that. Black and purple raspberries can be summer pruned after harvest where they are mowed to ground level. In the spring, you’ll pinch back to promote lateral buds. The dormant pruning option is to keep 4-5 sturdy canes per plant but remove others. You’ll cut back side branches and secure with a trellis system. All of your pruning options have advantages and disadvantages. Time and yield can be the overall reasons to prune one way over the other. The guides available through Extension can help you gain a better grasp on what these pruning methods look like. Next week, I’ll introduce alternative berries and brambles.

In The Kitchen

Introducing Ma Schier’s and Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

a Schier and Aunt Millie are dead. However, my mother and aunt both promulgated our strange family sense of humor that included bad jokes, long stories, various pranks, being very matter of fact and collecting things. I still have whiplash from one of the two of them constantly slamming on the brakes to haul their suitcase-sized purses up to any garage sale, abandoned farmhouse, antique auction or junk store they came across. They were avid collectors. For instance, my mother collected boxes all year, so she’d have just the right-sized box for her Christmas-present habit. “Francis, take this to the upstairs bedroom. It’s very nice box,” she’d coo. There I’d negotiate a very narrow path and try to find a pile that would not tip over when I placed her newest treasure on it. They also both collected Wedgewood Crystal, Occupied-Japan China and pink and green Depression Glassware. Aunt Mille was the more avid agricultural-auction and abandoned-farmhouse adventurer of the two, and I remember her finding quite a bit of the Depression Glassware with me and my cousin Billy in tow. That mother and son team were also self-proclaimed “rock hounds & taxidermists.” As a kid I learned the wonders of various quarries, grinders, polishers and road kill specimens and hide drying techniques. She loved to cook weird things, like escargot, oysters, partridge and eclairs (not racoons. Why did the chicken cross the road? To show the racoon it could be done!) Aunt Mille was also more like my gruff Grand-

ma Loveland, whom I used to help pull plastic flowers, ribbons and styrofoam pieces out of the dump pile at Greenwood Cemetery to make her home-made Easter Eggs and Easter Baskets. She was a tremendous cook, but much to my mother and aunt’s consternation, she never measured anything. “Just a pinch of this, a dash of that and a handful of the other thing” she’d say. My mother and Aunt Millie gave up trying to compete with her on pies, but my contrary Aunt Lil and Aunt Weenie (Eugenie) used to come close. Needless to say, recipes became a big thing with Ma and Aunt Millie. They had many cookbooks, plus a subscription to Gourmet Magazine, and the whole “fam damily” were guinea pigs to their surprisingly good experiments and recreations. It evolved that all the daughters and nieces and grandgirls were asking for the recipes. So one Christmas, my mother, the teacher/ book collector/great gifter, and Aunt Millie, the big laugh/big hoard/big heart, gave all the kids a box of at least 400 5-by-8 inch pieces of paper with recipes on them, in the following categories: “Chicken & Poultry (the most), Meat, Salad, Vegetables, Dessert, Fish, Microwave, Bread, Soup & Beverage, Eggs, Garnish, Hors D’Oeuvres, and Odds & Ends. They also included some extra heading cards and several packets of the 5x8 inch pieces of paper for expansion by the gifted to their collection. So seeing garage sale season is approaching, as well as Easter, in memory of the two of the best cooks I’ve known, and because I keep getting hungrier the older I get, you dear reader, will get a recipe or two each week in the pages of your friendly weekly newspaper, The Rock River Times.

hen the Blackhawks swapped defenseman with the Los Angeles Kings a few days before the NHL Trade Deadline, acquiring Christian Ehrhoff in exchange for Rob Scuderi, many fans and analysts questioned the motives behind the move for both sides. Chicago needed a legitimate fourth defenseman on the blue line, and Ehrhoff was no longer that sort of player, according to many. However, after his first two games as a man of four feathers, Ehrhoff has already shown the kind of value he will bring to the Blackhawks. In his first game with Chicago, last Wednesday against the Red Wings, Ehrhoff was very impressive. He looked strong with the puck, and made quick, smart decisions with it as well. His offensive instinct was obvious, and it was a welcome addition to Chicago back end. He also made some strong defensive plays, including impressively closing off Wings forward Dylan Larkin, who won the NHL fastest skater competition at the All-Star Game, on a rush. He also controlled possession quite well, ending the night with the second-best shot attempt differential on the Hawks. His second game saw him earn a bit more trust and ice time from head coach Joel Quenneville, as Ehrhoff played the third-most minutes among Chicago defensemen in last Thursday’s game in Boston. While the ‘Hawks fell in that one by a score of 4-2, and Ehrhoff didn’t quite control possession the same way he did the night prior, there was still a lot to like about his game in that one as well. Ehrhoff was scratched for Sunday’s rematch against Detroit, but that scratch was hardly war-

ranted. Ehrhoff did struggle in the possession game during Thursday’s matchup in Boston, but he was hardly the only Hawk that came out flat that night. Listening to Ehrhoff speak last week, he was clearly annoyed with the situation he was in while playing with the Kings. He didn’t say much, but his attitude made it clear that he was happy to be out of LA, and is carrying a bit of a chip on his shoulder as he comes to Chicago, his fourth team in two seasons. “It’s the same thing,” he told the Sun-Times. “You’ve got to know the guys and the staff, and it takes a little while. But this is a great team and a great group of guys, and they made me feel welcome from the start.” That chip on his shoulder could end up being extremely valuable to the Blackhawks, as he will likely strive to show that he is still a solid defenseman capable of contributing to a winning team in the NHL. While he may not have been the ideal solution for the Blackhawks blue line, Ehrhoff ’s fit within the Blackhawks system is already obvious. “The system, I think, is complementary to my game,” Ehrhoff said. “I just went out there and played the first couple of games, and it was a good start for me.” His offensive prowess could end up being a huge addition to this team down the stretch and into the playoffs. While it’s still quite early in the “Ehrhoff Era,” if you will, the early returns are encouraging, and there is still a lot of potential for Ehrhoff to become a key contributor for this Blackhawks team.

Tales from the Trough

WEEKEND SWEEPS

Rookie forward Kyle Baun scores his first goal of the season for the Rockford IceHogs during Sunday’s game against the Lake Erie Monsters. Baun’s goal put the ‘Hogs up 1-0 late in the first period as Rockford skated to a 2-1 win at home. Todd Reicher

IceHogs take all 4 points from Munster at home, remain in first By Todd Reicher Contributor

fter earning just one out of a possible four points in Cleveland a week ago, the IceHogs took all four points in a weekend sweep of the Lake Erie Monsters. The “new” IceHogs lineup (Matt Fraser and Drew MacIntyre, no Marko Dano) and recently returned Viktor Svedberg, coupled with Kyle Cumiskey returning from injury, showed the spark the team needed after a sluggish February. After a scoreless first period in the Saturday, March 5 game, Rockford erupted for four unanswered goals in the second. Bryan Bickell opened the scoring in the second

with his 13th of the season 82 seconds in. P.C. Labrie got his 14th of the season off a feed from Jake Dowell with 6:49 elapsed in the period to give Rockford a two goal lead. On their fourth power play of the evening, Mark McNeill sniped a shot five-hole to put Rockford up 3-0. Just 42 seconds later, Tanner Kero popped in his team-leading 17th of the season after Fraser hit the post to give Rockford a commanding 4-0 lead, signaling the end of Monsters netminder Brad Thiessen. Rockford played defensive most of the third, and Labrie tallied his second of the night off a hard wrist shot from above the face-off circle with 3:15 left. At this time of the game, fans and players were thinking about a shutout for Michael Leighton. As the game clock hit zero, the players all mobbed Leighton in celebration, for he had just entered the record books by surpassing Johnny

Bower for the most shutouts in AHL history. After the players skated towards center ice, Leighton’s family came out to the ice to congratulate him on his momentous record. The following day, both teams met for a 4 p.m. rematch of the previous evening. This time, MacIntyre would get the nod in net, making his IceHogs debut. The veteran of over 450 AHL games showed why he has been a staple in the league for so many years. When it looked like the game would repeat itself in a scoreless period from the previous evening, Kyle Baun broke his first goal of the season with 1:30 remaining in the opening period. Baun was set up by Ville Pokka, and Baun got more ice than puck, and the rubber slipped underneath Anton Forsberg and over the goal line for the opening goal. McNeill continued his hot streak and scored his second goal in as many nights with his 17th of the season 8:46 into the second.

Despite being outshot 25-15, Rockford, along with the help of their revitalized defensive corps and MacIntyre, held the advantage on the scoreboard. On their fifth and final power play of the game, Lake Erie finally cracked MacIntyre at 15:22 of the third period. Down by a goal, Lake Erie pulled Forsberg, but were unable to sustain any offensive pressure as Rockford held on for a 2-1 win. MacIntyre ended up with first star of the game honors after stopping 38 of 39 shots faced while Forsberg was saddled with the loss, surrendering two goals on 21 shots. The weekend sweep gives Rockford points in four straight games, going 2-0-2. Rockford ends their brief home stand with a Tuesday game against the Milwaukee Admirals (results unavailable at press time) before heading off to Charlotte for a weekend series against the Checkers. The IceHogs will return the following Tuesday for another meeting against the Checkers.

MLB announces ‘historic’ LGBT business partnership

By Lindsay Gibbs

ThinkProgress.org

his week at Major League Baseball’s Diversity Business Summit, Fortune reports that the league is set to announce a partnership with the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). The deal, which NGLCC spokesman Jonathan Lovitz called “historic,” will give LGBT businesses an equal opportunity to bid for MLB contracts and opportunities. To be certified by the NGLCC, a business must be 51 percent owned by an LGBT person or persons. “The National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is such a well-respected organization,” said Billy Bean, MLB’s Vice President of Inclusion and Social Responsibility, “and for them to feel that what they see in baseball is something they would

want to align with, it’s a compliment for the work that we’re doing.” “I’m just so grateful that baseball is open to it now,” Bean told Fortune. “I’m really optimistic about how they can help us and then how in turn that helps our community.” Bean played in the major leagues on and off from 1987 to 1995, and in 1999 he became the first former (or current) MLB player to come out publicly as gay. He began working with the league in a formal capacity in 2014, as part of the league’s efforts to promote inclusiveness — or, more specifically, to help pave the way for the league’s fist openly gay player. Though no active MLB player has come out, Sean Conroy became the first openly gay professional baseball player when he pitched a complete game shutout for the Sonomoa Stompers last year. And Bean helped advise

David Denson, a minor league player who is part of the Milwaukee Brewers organization, before he came out last year. Overall, it’s hard to deny that baseball is moving in the right direction. Several teams across the league have held LGBT Pride Nights or made videos directed at supporting LGBT youth and athletes. As part of its Diverse Business Program, which has been around since 1998, MLB already works with nonprofits that represent female and minority business owners. “The mission of the Diverse Business Partners program is to promote efficiency and profitability for Major League Baseball and its Clubs while extending Baseball’s ability to contribute to the economic growth, strength and well-being of diverse communities,” the league’s website reads. Now, the businesses owned by members of the LGBT community will be given a chance to vie

for the all-important MLB contract. The NGLCC already has a similar partnership with the USTA and the NFL during the Super Bowl. “We take great pride in the fact that this not only puts us closer to Major League Baseball and the ability to bring innovative suppliers to their operation, but also that we get to work with incredible advocates and athletes like Billy Bean,” Justin Nelson, founder and president of the NGLCC, told Fortune. Now that the MLB partnership is in place, Nelson is focused on forging partnerships with the NBA and WNBA. “There’s a lot of work to be done still,” he said. “We’re going to put foot squarely on the gas pedal — not on the brakes — and work to use this as an opportunity to expand our vision, our mission, and our connections with sports entities, sports leagues, and major corporations.”
