The City of Rockford was recognized last Thursday by the Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management during its annual conference, receiving the 2016 Stormwater Management Award. Rockford was recognized for its overall efforts to improve stormwater management, something Interim Director of Public Works (DPW) Matt Vitner has been a priority for his department. “I am proud of Marcy Leach and the Public Works stormwater staff for leading the way to create and implement excellence in this field,” Vitner said in a statement. Leach, who accepted the award Thursday, holds a Certified Floodplain Manager credential and serves as the city’s Stormwater and Floodplain Manager as a component of her public works engineering operations manager role. “Marcy and staff have worked diligently and tirelessly over the last several years along with Patrick Hayes and the legal department to build a stormwater program around the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Phase I National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit.” Rockford is currently the only city in the state to hold a Phase I permit, given to cities with over 100,000 in population that maintain separate storm and sanitary sewer systems. DPW says continued upgrades to the policies and procedures of the city’s stormwater management “will continue to enhance the safety and welfare of the community moving forward.”

Local & State Sales tax stands up to challenge

The 1 percent sales tax for road improvements in the City of Rockford passed the ballot test again Tuesday night, taking home nearly two-thirds of the vote, overwhelmingly approving the measure. Supporters campaigned hard in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s election hoping to extend the tax which has seen Rockford shed its bond debts and continues infrastructure projects throughout the city despite the ongoing budget impasse in Springfield. “I am extremely proud of the results on

the referendum,” Mayor Larry Morrissey said Tuesday night, “and the work put in by a lot people to see this through.” “In the ongoing challenging economic climate around here, to have the voters come out and support the referendum is a great boost to the community.” Morrissey added that he felt that polling in recent weeks left the question up in the air going into Tuesday’s election, but that he was happy to see a result that will allow the city’s Capital Improvement Plan to continue moving forward without reliance on state and federal funds. “We’ve obviously got a lot of work to do, but this was a great result for Rockford and for the entire area.”

Kirk, Duckworth take Senate races

Senator Mark Kirk claimed a primary victory Tuesday night over opponent James Marter while Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth took the Democratic primary by a 40 point margin, setting up a November showdown between the two veterans for one of the state’s U.S. Senate seats. “I’ve been underrated in every election,” Kirk told supporters Tuesday. “I have beaten the odds and exceeded expectations. I have won every race. The next election will be no different.” Duckworth continued her assault on Kirk, saying that the senator’s policies had left

the state’s working class behind. “We are going to lead on strength and not fear,” Duckworth said. “Unfortunately, that’s a message that’s lost on Mark Kirk.” Meanwhile, embattled Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez conceded in her Democratic primary to challenger Kim Foxx. Alvarez has been under increasing pressure since the release of a video showing Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting unarmed black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times in the middle of a Chicago street. Alvarez waited over 400 days to charge Van Dyke has declined to bring charges against a further 68 Chicago police officers involved in shooting incidents.

Kasich’s Ohio win, and what’s next

By Vladimir Kogan TheConversation.com

fter Tuesday’s voting, the outcome of the Democratic presidential primary appears settled. Thanks to decisive wins in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, Hillary Clinton can breathe easier. For Republicans, however, the path forward has suddenly become less clear. With Marco Rubio out and John Kasich carrying his - and my - home state of Ohio, we may need to wait until July to meet to the ultimate Republican nominee.

Kasich’s hope: A contested convention

Kasich’s Ohio victory makes a contested Republican convention more likely. Since he carried Florida, Trump still has a chance to win a delegate majority necessary to secure the party’s nomination, but his path for doing so has become far narrower. By contrast, Kasich’s hope rests entirely on a deadlocked convention. With his current delegate count, even a late surge in the polls in the remaining states would make it mathematically impossible for Kasich to win an outright delegate majority. The Ohio victory highlights Kasich’s potential popularity in pivotal battleground states. It may help boost his appeal to delegates at the Cleveland convention in July. Still, it’s important not to exaggerate the magnitude of his winning margin. Even though he ended in first place in Ohio, Kasich has still won fewer than half of the total Republican primary vote here. His first-place finish looks even less impressive in light of Kasich’s current standing among Ohio voters. Most pre-election polls put the governor’s approval among Republican voters in the state somewhere between 70 and 80 percent. Yet, despite their approval, only about half of these voters ultimately ended up backing Kasich at the polls. If the governor can count on the votes of only half of the folks from his home state who approve of his performance in office, the extent of his national appeal is far from clear.

Strategic voting on the right?

As Kasich’s standing in Ohio polls improved in recent weeks, little of his new-found support appears to have come from Trump enthusiasts. Trump’s support hardly budged since early February. His vote share in Ohio appears to be largely in line with his trajectory over the past month. Concerted campaigning in Ohio by Republican heavy weights such as Mitt Romney and growing controversy over violence at Trump’s Chicago rally did little to change his course.

While some of Kasich’s recent bump may be attributed to him winning over undecided voters, much of it seems to have come from previous supporters of Rubio and Cruz. Just days before Ohio’s primary, Rubio personally urged his Ohio supporters to back Kasich, noting that the governor was the only person with a decent shot of edging Trump in the state. Cruz never conveyed the same message to his supporters. But similar strategic logic may have encouraged at least some of them to back Kasich as well, since the governor’s victory has created new roadblocks for a Trump nomination and helps keep Cruz’s candidacy alive.

Rethinking primaries and polarization

Perhaps the most important lesson from Ohio’s vote on Tuesday is what it tells us about the relationship between party primaries and political polarization. Among political commentators, the idea that primaries are driving the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans both in Congress and in state legislatures has become well-worn conventional wisdom. Few districts are competitive in the general election, perhaps in part thanks to gerrymandering but probably mostly due to natural “political geography” that results in most Democrats living in big urban areas and most Republicans living outside them. This means that many elections are increasingly being decided in the primary rather than general election, creating an incentive for candidates to appeal to their base by adopting extreme policies. Ohio provides a useful case in point. The last round of redistricting produced a map with many safe seats. Since the Republican majority took control in 2010, the state legislature has

adopted a number of conservative policies, including many that appear to be out of step with the preferences of a majority of voters. For example, lawmakers recently cut funding to Planned Parenthood, even though polls showed that most voters opposed the move. Tuesday’s vote should raise doubts about the extent to which partisan primaries force candidates remain ideologically pure — at least in Ohio. Between the two of them, Kasich and Trump won more than 80 percent of the Republican vote, and yet both candidates have a history of supporting policies outside of the conservative mainstream. Although Kasich has built a record of a social conservative in Ohio, he was also one of the few Republican governors who expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Similarly, despite Trump’s bellicose anti-Muslim rhetoric and his controversial positions on immigration, his liberal record on issues such as abortion and samesex marriage have been much closer to what one would expect from a Democrat rather than a Republican. Trump has said that his positions are “changing rapidly” and moving to the right. Surprisingly, this didn’t seem to matter much to Ohio Republicans. Indeed, when one recent Ohio poll asked Republican voters which candidate they thought would do the best job handling social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, Trump came in second after Kasich. He beat out the much more conservative Cruz. In short, Republicans who turned out in Tuesday’s Ohio primary appear to have tolerated political heresy to a much greater extent than expected. Of course, whether other elected officials interpret this week’s result as message about the virtues of political moderation remains to be seen.

Energy & Environment

Increasing use of DC power By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

lectricity powers much of our modern society. It can be produced and distributed as two different types of current known as AC and DC. Alternating current or AC moves in waves, flowing in a positive, then negative direction. Direct current or DC power flows in one direction at a steady rate. A household electric range is powered by AC current while a flashlight or a cell phone is DC powered. AC became the standard source of power for much of the industrialized world as it could be easily shipped long distances at high voltage levels but changed by transformers to lower voltage levels to use in households, businesses and industries. With increased use of wind and solar power, interest in shipping electricity along new DC power lines is increasing. Writing this article on a computer uses both kinds of current. The household outlet into which the power cord for the computer is plugged is AC. The adapter converts the AC power to DC for the computer. The conversion from AC to DC power involves some loss of energy that is released as heat within the converter. Our renewable energy system produces DC power which is converted into AC to integrate it into our utility service. When drawing solar power to run a computer two energy conversions and losses are involved reducing efficiency. A more efficient system would use the DC output from our solar panels to directly power our computer. A shed we use as a workshop has both AC and DC circuits. The AC circuit is linked with our household energy supply and is used to power tools and PowerPoint projectors. Another independent circuit consisting of a 60 watt panel with battery storage powers DC lights and a radio. The small system also served as a model for similar systems the IREA installed in Jamaica and Guatemala. An electrical engineer in Chicago slowly transformed his home electrical service from AC to DC power one room at a time. He left the original AC wiring system in place and used it to run some of his appliances. He installed solar panels and battery storage to power his electronic devices. Over time he abandoned grid service by producing all of his electricity with solar panels. The introduction of electric vehicles powered by batteries adds to the growing use of DC power. The batteries can also store electricity transferable to the home or workplace in times of need. As solar panels, fuels cells and batteries produce DC power, converting it to AC power adds expense, loses energy and degrades power quality. The increasing use of electronic technology for LED lighting, computers, entertainment and power controls requires converting AC to DC power adding energy losses.

With the massive investment in AC power and the large costs involved in replacing it with a DC system the challenge is one of finding more ways to make effective use of both forms of power.

Closing in on this year’s Earth Hour

“As the world stands at a climate crossroads, it is powerful yet humbling to think that our actions today will decide what tomorrow will look like for generations to come. This Earth Hour, switch on your social power to shine a light on climate action.” (earthhour.org) Each year, in the middle of March, people around the globe observe Earth Hour, the largest grass-roots environmental event ever. A movement that began in Australia in 2007 will be observed on Saturday from 8:30-9:30 p.m., when people turn off their lights and electronic devices to demonstrate support for fighting global warming. When viewed from space, it will appear as a rolling blackout. Although one hour of the 8,760 hours of the year is asymbolicgesture, it reveals“anunprecedentedglobal mandate for action on climate change.” Earth Hour is a collective statement by people worldwide, showing that they can work together and make a difference. Not only is turning off lights and electronic devices symbolic, it will allow people to experience the beauty and silence of the night and will provide the opportunity to reconnect to others without distractions. Expanding our reconnection from friends to all of Earth’s people can remind us that we all have the same goal of healthy lives on a healthy, livable planet. A few years ago, a friend sent us the photo of Earth from space at night – with densely populated areas brilliantly illuminated. His comment was “This is awesome!” How much more “awesome” to see all of the Earth’s lights, from the Eiffel Tower through the Empire State Building and Chicago’s iconic skyline to the Sydney Opera House extinguished for an hour each – a voluntary rolling blackout by all of Earth’s people pledging dedication to saving our precious planet. Although turning lights off for only one hour is a symbolic gesture, it reveals “an unprecedented global mandate for action on climate change.” How much more impressive it would be if the lights stayed out throughout the night – not only a rolling blackout, a progressive one. We need not only turn off the lights for an hour, but continue the impact beyond the hour itself. We could go back to old ways of behaving or continue to act on the dedication we felt for that one hour, expanding it throughout the year. Each of us can do our part and work to protect our own part of the earth. Collectively, we can meet the challenge to change the direction in which we are moving. Although we cannot change what is, we can change what might be. In 2016, Earth Overshoot Day will occur in about five months. What would happen if we continued our Earth Hour beliefs, actions and dedication so that Earth Overshoot Day will no longer exist? Reach the Vogls at sonia@essex1.com.

5 things to know about the FCC’s proposed privacy rules It stops Verizon’s zombie cookie in its tracks, but allows AT&T to keep charging customers extra if they want privacy. By Julia Angwin ProPublica

Last week, the Federal Communications Commission proposed new privacy rules for Internet providers. The proposal was immediately praised by privacy advocates as “a major step forward” and lambasted by AT&T as an effort to place a “thumb on the scale in favor of Internet companies.” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler stopped by our offices to explain the proposal, which will be voted on by the commission later this year after a period

of public comment. Here is what you need to know about the proposed rules. 1. The new rules would prohibit Internet providers from sharing information with third parties about a customer’s name, address, location and Internet activity, unless they have opted in to having their data shared. It is meant to provide the same level of privacy protection to Internet customers’ data that companies must, by law, apply to telephone customers’ data. 2. The rules also broaden the types of data that

are protected, Wheeler said. The old rules for telephone operators covered “Customer Proprietary Network Information” – such as the duration and frequency of calls placed by customers and where they were placed from. Wheeler said the proposal includes Internet activities tied to a unique identifying number rather than a person’s actual name or phone number. Under the proposed rules, Internet providers could not, without consent, track customers using a unique number tied to a customer’s Internet activity or phone location. 3. The new rules would prevent Verizon from continuing to use its “zombie cookie” on behalf of its subsidiary AOL. Last week, Verizon agreed to pay $1.35 million to settle FCC charges that it violated customers’ privacy when it used a hidden unkillable (therefore“zombie”)numbertotrackcellphoneusers. As part of the settlement, Verizon agreed to allow customers to opt in to any future uses of the tracking technique. But the settlement did not apply to Verizon subsidiary AOL’s use of the tracking number. Wheeler said that the proposed privacy rules “would overrule the consent decree.” The proposal only allows subsidiaries to use an Internet provider’s customer data to market “communications related services,” and so AOL’s use of the tracking number

for advertising purposes would need to be opt in. 4. The new rules, however, would allow AT&T to keepmarketingitsprivacy-invadingGigapowerhighspeed Internet service in dozens of cities. Gigapower costs $70 a month for customers who agree to let AT&T view the Web pages they visit and the queries they type into search engines. Those who want to protect their privacy must pay $100 a month for the Gigapower service. Wheeler said he was concerned about privacy becoming a luxury service. But he said, “At this point in the debate, we have to deal with what we can deal with today.” 5. The proposal doesn’t cover content, only metadata. That means if a customer visits an unencrypted website, the Internet provider could still view and share the contents of that website without consent. As encryption becomes more common, that loophole will get smaller. But regardless of whether Internet traffic is encrypted, Wheeler said that it is important to protect information about what websites a person visits. “I might be getting encrypted data,” he said, “but if I visit a cancer center, just the fact that I’m going to the cancer center is of interest to an insurance company.” ProPublica is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom.

Carlos joining the event this year with his band The New Paegans in the battle of the bands with Missing Links. We also have as special guest Can’t Touch This, a very fun, energetic band. Funds raised support local music through scholarships, music education and local events,” Eisman said. “We currently support two college-bound students and three promising children at the Music Academy with the RAMI Young Artist Scholarships,” Eisman continued. RAMI presented a RAMI Young Artist Music Scholarship to the Music Academy in Rockford to Sarah Pearl Anderson. Sarah was born deaf in an orphanage in China. After coming to Rockford to live with her adoptive family, a local doctor donated his services to perform surgery on Sarah when she was a toddler that restored her hearing. Her doctor recommended Sarah to the Music Academy believing that learning the violin would help her refine her hearing and speech skills. RAMI is honored to help be a part of Sarah’s future music education and have awarded her the scholarship to help cover the cost of a year of tuition at the Music Academy. In the spirit of the founder of RAMI, Gary Wilmer, RAMI continues to strive to support

music scholarship and education programs in the Rockford and surrounding area. The Gary S. Wilmer Memorial Trust was established in 1996 to honor the memory and continue the legacy of Gary Wilmer by awarding scholarships to students who wish to pursue and education in music. The other founders are Bruce Hammond and Frank Schier. Bruce Hammond is the chair for this year’s 25th Anniversary of the RAMI’s award show. You can vote online for the following categories: Artist of the Year, Favorite Venue, Favorite Radio Station and Special Event.

“I think it’s important that the people in our community come out and support local music. Every city that is successful has a rich music and arts scene. Music is the heartbeat of art! So, come on out and dance enjoy the music,” Eisman said. The RAMI Awards will be presented Saturday, April 22 at Tebala. Another upcoming event for the group is the Rockford Guitar Show and Music Expo on Sunday, May 22 also at Tebala. It’s just $5 at the door, and will go from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Those attending can buy, sell and trade. For more information on any of these events please visit ramiawards.com.

Marion S. Momaly, CPA, MST 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 next week to help keep Cupid’s heart on your mind. • • • • • “Little Lamb” is interesting for its use of lines from William Blake’s 19th-century poem “The Lamb” from his book “Songs of Innocence.” Blake wrote “Songs of Innocence” and a companion book “Songs of Experience” to illustrate (literally, since he also did the engravings for the books himself) that innocence and experience are both necessary, that one is not preferable to the other. Thus, when the writer here intersperses quotations from Blake’s “The Lamb,” we are reminded of Blake’s sense of the interconnectedness of good and evil or innocence and experience. And that sense of the intermingling of the two is made clear in the poem. The speaker is young or in a young frame of mind, “a child again,” and is trying to understand some very complex matters—why a newly-born lamb will be abandoned by its mother, who must, as nature seems to dictate, reserve her strength and efforts for those of her newborns who will survive. Innocence and experience, you see. What is evil, what is necessary? Why do the innocent have to suffer? Where is God in all of this? And this question becomes especially pertinent here, again, because of the use of Blake, who chose the symbol of the lamb, because it also is the symbol of Jesus Christ. Why did Jesus–the innocent lamb–have to die on the cross? Well, for our sins. Innocence and experience. These are hard lessons to learn. –Dr. Susuan Porterfield

Little Lamb

By Connie Seraphine

“Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?” I am a child again, curious about how things happen and troubled by no clear answers. I look upon the pure white lamb, only three days old and failing, lying motionless while siblings nurse. Reaching into the pen, I wrap its feather weight body in a blue cotton towel and carry it away from mother who has already said good-by; not able to nurse this weak, third baby. “Little Lamb, who made thee… Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, wooly, bright…” In the house now, on my lap all I hear are pitiful rhythmic cries. I stroke her wee wooly head and gently rub the tummy, full of milk from tube and bottle, hoping against the odds. “Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee… He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb…” So I call upon the Lamb to help this innocent one and wait and rock and wait, kissing her limp, curly head. A final sigh as limbs give way, tears dropping one by one. The Lamb of all creation hears and enfolds her into His bosom. “Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!”

More than a Cold War spy thriller By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

’s critically-lauded series, The Americans, might seem to be an espionage thriller centered on Elizabeth and Philip Jennings (Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, respectively), a team Soviet sleeper agents who appear to be ordinary suburban American parents running a small travel agency, but at its core The Americans is really a family drama. A fact brought home last season when their teenage daughter, Paige (Holly Taylor) learned her parents were KGB agents. From the pilot episode, it was clear that Elizabeth was more staunchly devoted to the cause and the Motherland than Philip, who enjoyed the perks of American lifestyle—shopping at the mall, cars, indulging in ice cream with the kids. It caused tension, but the couple managed to work out an espionage-family balance. Even when Paige found God, the non-believers knew if they forced the issue they could lose their daughter, so they agreed to let her participate in church events and even get baptized. When The Center expressed an interest in having Paige follow in her parents’ footsteps, Philip made it clear he didn’t want their daughter dragged into the family business, or even knowing about it, but Elizabeth slowly began preparing to tell Paige the truth. Any teenager would have trouble processing the fact that her parents had lied to her since the day she was born. Add in the fact that they’re also KGB operatives at the height of the Cold War, and what’s a girl to do? Last season ended with Paige confessing everything to her pastor, unknowingly putting him in danger and setting the Jennings family up for a bumpy fourth season. Now that their secret is out, how do Elizabeth and Philip eliminate the risk of a disastrous fall-

out without further jeopardizing their relationship with Paige? What happens if and when their son Henry (Keidrich Sellati) learns his parents are Soviet spies? And why is Henry spending so much time hanging out with their FBI agent and neighbor, Stan (Noah Emmerich)? While the Cold War espionage is exciting and ups the stakes of every episode of The Americans, it’s the Jennings’ complicated relationship—they were paired up by The Center, yet at some point developed real feelings for one another—and family dynamic that make those stakes seem so much higher.

Programming Note

The Season 4 premiere of The Americans is Wednesday, March 16 at 9 p.m. on FX. Follow Paula on Twitter: @P_Hendrickson.

Commentary

The importance of FOIA in the digital age

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

he Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was designed to be the portal by which the average citizen can be the watchdog of their own government, but as we mark this Sunshine Week it has become harder and harder to extract documents from our politicians and their offices.

Launched in 2005 by the American Society of News Editors and coordinated in partnership with the American Society of News Editors, Sunshine Week is an effort to remind people that freedom of information isn’t simply for the press. “It is a cornerstone of democracy, enlightening and empowering people to play an active role in their government at all levels,” says the website recognizing the cause, held annually in the third week of March. “It helps keep public officials honest, makes government more efficient and provides a check against abuse of power.” Here in Illinois, however, that abuse of power continues unabated by the very legislature that enacted the state’s FOIA laws in the first place. The Associated Press reported this week that, “Denial letters on behalf of Illinois’ top Democratic and Republican lawmakers said, among other things, that releasing the records could amount to a ‘clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy’ for individuals who contacted lawmakers without expecting their names to appear in the news media.” Just last year, a local state representative spearheaded legislation to move the publication of public notices online, a policy which has sputtered across the nation as bodies of government fail to keep up with the demands of publication. In Illinois alone, a study of 750 bodies of local government showed that only 49 percent of them maintained any kind of website in the first place, and the ones that exist are rarely up-to-date. How could we expect them to provide the notices crucial to an honest and open government when they can’t even provide their hours of operation via a Google search? Rep. Joe Sosnowski, R-Belvidere, who submitted the boilerplate GOP legislation that has been tried and shot down in multiple states, explained at the time: “Just trying to move us into the 20th century. Internet has been around for a while. Maybe

next year we can work on the 21st.” The implication of Sosnowski’s message was clear: newspapers are a 19th century idea and no longer suited to providing the residents of a city, county, state or country with the vital information they need to keep tabs on their government. Of course, such a premise would see us ignore the work of The Washington Post’s Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward uncovering the Watergate scandal, or the Boston Globe pulling back the curtain on the Catholic Church’s derelict reaction to the sexual abuse and rape of minors over decades, just to name a couple high-profile instances. Both of these stories were broken by newspapers in the 20th century. In fact, the latter is still making waves in the 21st century with the film Spotlight, detailing the Globe’s work, taking home the Oscar for Best Picture just a few weeks ago. Maybe Rep. Sosnowski and the countless other GOP legislators across the U.S., in their rush to claim public notices should no longer belong to the public, missed those stories and all the other valuable work newspapers have done since the calendars rolled into 1901. Or maybe they don’t want newspapers doing such work at all, as these misleading and misguided laws would instead entrust publishing of these notices solely to the bodies of government who issue them. The standard claim that accompanies the yearly tradition of introducing these bills is that not only would ceasing the print of public notices in newspapers be a cost savings for the governments, but that it would somehow provide more access and a more open line for the citizenry to engage their political representatives. Both of these ideas are laughable, as the first implies that there is no additional cost to maintain individual web databases for the nearly 7,000 bodies of government across the state to publish these notices (and remember, nearly 50 percent of them don’t have websites in the first place); the second

assumes that the government is willing to part with this information willingly and in due time without someone watching over them. This also ignores the fact that the newspaper industry in this state already maintains and publishes all public notices in an easily searchable database: PublicNoticeIllinois.com. Keeping with the practices of a 21st century newspaper, and wanting to see just how dedicated to an open government our local legislator was, this paper submitted a FOI request last February, seeking emails from Rep. Sosnowski’s office related to House Bill 261, including any emails from a personal Gmail account that the representative has previously listed on the Assembly’s website as one for official government business. That request was denied by the Illinois House of Representatives for myriad reasons, many of them centered around now established precedents that persons should be able to engage with their representatives without fear of those communications being published. One can understand Average Jane/Joe writing their representative about a personal concern not wanting that information out there, though what any respectable news outlet would do with such information is beyond me. As for the PACs and special interest groups who drive this kind of legislation, those communications should be available to be seen by the public, allowing citizens to decide whether or not their politicians are representing them in an ethical and prudent manner. Truth be told, I’ve had more luck with foreign government offices fulfilling FOI requests than I have ever had with any domestic body. Unlike here in the U.S. their first impulse is to work with requesters in order to provide the information they seek. That thought would send shudders down the spine of the legal teams here in Illinois, and around the country, who proactively seek to subvert FOIA at every step and increase their government billings. Given then that state of deny, deny, deny by our government bodies, what is the purpose of FOIA in the digital age? In a state where the governor is allowed to conduct his daily business without showing the citizens his schedule; in a state where both parties summarily deny FOI requests for information related to impactful legislation; in a state where the government could hardly claim to be doing its job at all, what is the role of the watchdog

laws if no one is allowed to use them? FOIA is crucial, and the law should be respected not only by the citizens but by the politicians who put it into action. Instead of subverting the law at every step, they should embrace the law as a reason and means to conduct their business ethically, with the thought in mind that the truth may in fact see the light of day. Closed door meetings and denials for information are now the norm. Lawyers for federal representatives, state legislators, city councils and county boards can rely on the “unduly burdensome” claim for any FOI request they don’t wish to fulfill. The only way to correct that is for every day citizens, and not just those of us who operate in the fourth estate, to demand their politicians abide by FOIA and open meetings laws, ones that they themselves have enacted. Issac Guerrero, a reporter at the Register Star, wrote Sunday about a thought experiment he was conducting: he submitted FOI requests with each of our seven local legislators, seeking emails and daily calendars from their offices for just a single week. Knowing firsthand what to expect from the powers that be in Springfield, I can’t imagine that the constituency will be impressed with the results. This Sunshine Week, you should try it for yourself. Pick a senator, or a county board chairman, or your local city councilman. File a FOI request; the details on how to do so should be easily accessible on their (surely) well-maintained website. Wait a few days and see what happens. If you asked for anything that may shed a light on the workings of government that may be less than savory, odds are you will be denied. The reasons will vary – it seems at times that the lawyers downstate have a cut-and-paste list of denial causes, while those closer to home will stick to the fallback undue burden to save time – but the results will remain the same: politicians and their handlers don’t want to abide by the laws they’ve created to protect citizens and ensure ethical practices. Those results will never change unless more and more people engage and demand an open and transparent government. These people work for us, after all, and FOIA – a 20th century idea ever more relevant in the 21st – is our window into that workplace. Take time this Sunshine Week to remind them they work for you, and have the right to demand they show their work.

llinois Republicans have long complained that House Speaker Michael Madigan’s campaign organization doesn’t just beat you; it destroys you. Madigan doesn’t set out to merely win; he wants to make sure he doesn’t ever have to deal with you again. Madigan’s own Democratic primary race was a good example. He posted yard signs all over his district urging his constituents to vote against “convicted felon Jason Gonzales,” and his cable-TV and direct-mail ads ceaselessly pounded home that very same message. His captains also reportedly had volunteers holding those signs at the entrance to voting locations. Gonzales is, indeed, a convicted felon. But that happened two decades ago, and he was pardoned by former Democratic Governor Pat Quinn. To hear the Madigan campaign tell it, however, you’d think the guy just walked out of prison. Or take a look at what Madigan did to Katelyn Hotle. The House speaker’s operation dropped at least nine negative mailers on the little-known, lightly funded candidate in the Quad Cities-area Democratic primary to replace retiring state Representative Pat Verschoore, D-Milan. The gist of the attacks was that Hotle, a Rock Island city-council member, profited personally from her shoddy government service, but none of it was true. They also smeared Hotle in the media for being a “plant” of Governor Bruce Rauner. Why? The only real explanation is that she was the lone

...same as the old boss

female in a four-way primary, so she could do well on demographics alone and they had to take her out. For good. The Madigan operation reached way back into the past of Representative Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, to find an arrest, some formal allegations of domestic abuse, and troubles paying his child support and then used that against him in his Democratic primary campaign. Dunkin started the fight by so closely allying himself with our Republican governor and thumbing his nose at his fellow Democrats, but he seems to have personally rehabilitated himself. Madigan and the people around him didn’t care. It’s a matter of public record, and Dunkin got whacked with it. But as we’ve also discovered this year, Rauner’s legislative-campaign operation is eerily similar to Madigan’s. And while that’s making some Republicans privately uncomfortable, Madigan’s way has proven to work far more often than not

over the years. A good case in point is conservative activist Dan Proft’s TV ads against Jim Acklin in the three-way 102nd House District GOP primary. Proft’s Liberty Principles PAC ran a blistering TV ad that claimed Acklin, as a school superintendent, “blamed the victim” and “did nothing” about a sexual predator in his school system who also happened to be a “family friend.” The ad was based on a failed civil lawsuit – a very thin reed indeed – but it was brutal. Rauner and his pals have pumped seven-figure contributions into Proft’s PAC over the past few months. They’ve clearly been involved in several races through Proft. Rauner and his people do not want Acklin nominated because he is backed by former Republican Governor Jim Edgar, a frequent Rauner critic. So they’re supporting former state Representative Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville),

despite the fact that they don’t really love the guy. Keeping Edgar’s fingers out of the House has been their priority. So they launched a second killer TV ad to build on their theme. The new spot used Acklin’s own videotaped comments at a candidates’ forum where he claimed to have acted “quickly and decisively” to remove the predator teacher from his school. But the second Proft ad claimed: “In his own words, it took him four years to act. Four years.” A news clip on the screen indicates that Acklin said “he was aware of an incident involving [the predator] in 2008.” That “incident” was an allegation that the teacher was texting a student, but the student denied at the time that anything inappropriate was going on. The teacher was warned, and that was the end of it until the predator’s arrest four years later. The ad concludes: “Acklin touts his judgment. On March 15, make your own.” Acklin raised a decent amount of money compared to similar races in prior years, but times have changed. Both sides in Dunkin’s race (including Rauner’s allies) dumped well over $5 million into the contest. A Senate Republican primary race in the Springfield area where the governor opposed the incumbent saw spending top $3.5 million. Acklin wasn’t able to air a response ad until a full week after the initial Proft ad aired, and after he’d already been buried with Rauner’s money.

Leaders: Do your jobs

Every morning my neighbor gets into his van at precisely 5 a.m. Whether it is snowing, raining, dark, or below zero. You can set your clock by his consistent dedication to his job. Millions of people all across Illinois just like my neighbor get up day in and day out; go to their jobs, and do the best they can to meet what is expected of them. Hundreds of layoffs taking place at public institutions all across the state, hundreds in our own county, people who want to work but are being kept from work because of the irresponsible behavior of the state’s two highest ranking elected officials refusing to do their jobs. Our county nonprofits struggle to keep their doors open, struggling daily to meet the needs of our most vulnerable citizens, putting more and more pressure on their staffs and on limited local resources. I think of the elderly man with two canes, who I watched walk away hungry from the DeKalb Senior Center on Monday, with only a three day old loaf of bread; because cuts and lack

of state budget prohibits the center from being able to offer a hot meal five days a week. Or child care workers, already underpaid, now forced to work at times with no pay, while they continue to care deeply for the children. The lack of constructive debate toward a budget, (which use to be known as the hard work of governing) continues to be a source of pain all across the county and state, leading to many sleepless nights for citizens who are just trying to do their jobs, keep their families together, take care of their neighbors, and make-ends-meet. It seems the only bipartisan agreement between Madigan and Rauner, is the unspoken agreement to drive our state into further ruin, they seem willing to stay locked in a power struggle until there is nothing left. Like the African proverb, when the elephants fight, the grass is trampled. Mr. Madigan, Mr. Rauner, please, do your jobs, so our state can work again. Dan Kenney DeKalb

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of March 16-22, 2016

This Week: The sun enters Aries on Sunday with the influence of Venus and Neptune. Many of you who have been struggling with fatigue or a lackluster view on life will find this astrological climate inspiring ambition. Opportunities for romance begin to develop during this lunar cycle as well. Embrace these dynamic aspects. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Travel is indicated in the weeks to come providing you with an opportunity to mix business with pleasure. Mind your temper especially with your elders during this lunar cycle. Don’t misdirect your frustrations on those that really have nothing to do with your aggravation. By week’s end, an unexpected windfall arrives allowing you to balance your budget, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— It would be best to stay out of a family dynamic that doesn’t really concern you during this lunar cycle. Both sides need to figure this out on their own without any help from the peanut gallery surrounding them. This may be a good time to develop a new creative project or expand upon friendships outside of your family for a change. When we immerse ourselves too deep into the lives of others we will eventually wear out our welcome, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Things are looking up for you in your personal as well as your professional arena. Keep in mind that everything happens for a reason. Develop your own style of coping as well as embracing the gifts you have received up until this point in time with gratitude. There is nowhere to go but up from here, Gemini, grab the brass ring. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — It appears that a past love has some regrets about decisions they made regarding you. Keep in mind that you may not be able to rekindle this aspect, too much damage may have been done to rectify it now. Finances are so dynamic and positive at this time, expect to catch up with old debt and see clear to your long-term goals and desires now, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Be cautious that you’re not getting worked up by a family member that needs your life to follow in their footsteps. Sometimes we are served a similar scenario in order to handle the aspect in a totally different manner. Growth and development are key for each of us in our own unique way. Search for peace, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Try to be conscious of how you speak to others during this time frame. If you become too aggressive you may end up on the outside looking in.

Move cautiously when you approach an intimate matter. A sensitive individual may be out of your life for good if you push them too far. Pay close attention to your vehicle at this time as well. You don’t need an unexpected expense at this time, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You can finally breathe a sigh of relief regarding an old, annoying emotional matter. Put it to rest for good, now it’s time to celebrate. Enjoy a night out on the town with a very special someone and look at your long-terms goals this week. Others see the value in your profession and will be interested in lining you up with the right connection. Pick and choose your path wisely now, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — When you expect the worst you will draw that element to you. As you know this will only begin a downward spiral that will be difficult to crawl out of. You need to release something that was way too much to handle. Try not to see this as a failure instead see it as room for improvement, a fresh start, a new beginning. Then move on and don’t look back, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Romantic influences will be accentuated during this time frame as well as a love from your past is resurfacing. Decisions, decisions, and yet in the grand scheme of things you are exactly where you are supposed to be no matter what anybody else says. An opportunity to expand with your career

sector will arrive shortly. Embrace this element, it’s your time to shine, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You will be celebrating the good fortunes of your family or a loved one this week. You know deep down in your heart that you will get your turn this way. You’re practicing for your own positive outcome. Those that cannot support the achievements of others will not progress at this time. Protect your friends and family from those who want to put a negative spin on their lives. You will see this come full circle shortly, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Your schedule is overwhelmed with conflicting responsibilities and you feel guilty for not accomplishing each task. Go easy on yourself and trust that it will all get done in a timely manner. This is an extremely positive financial time frame, take advantage of this element now, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You can see the big picture better now than you were able to in the recent past. Additional information has developed and now the other side of the story has been revealed. A family member or friend that had been hypnotized by someone else’s perpetual bad mouthing is beginning to see that you’re alright. Give them a chance to catch up to your knowledge, Pisces.

n n n NOTICE OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING for ROCKFORD URBAN AND METROPOLITAN AREA Notice is hereby given that the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning (RMAP), the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Rockford Urban and Metropolitan area, is seeking public comment on the transportation planning process and the development of the following documents. RMAP coordinates publicly funded transportation planning and improvements among the various jurisdictions in Winnebago, Boone and Ogle Counties. All documents are available for viewing electronically at http://www.rmapil.org or at the RMAP offices located at 313 N. Main Street, Rockford, Illinois. 1. RMAP FY2017 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP): This document will identify and prioritize all major transportation and public transit improvements scheduled for implementation in the RMAP Metropolitan Area in the next four fiscal years (actual dates - July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2020). The TIP lists, categorizes, and sets priorities for transportation improvements and assures they are financially feasible, as well as coordinated with each other and with other governmental improvements and private developments. The document is under development and will be made available for comment when a draft is prepared. Public comments will be accepted anytime. Pending recommendation by the Technical Committee at their July 21, 2016 meeting, the final TIP will be on the Policy Committee agenda for possible approval at their July 28, 2016. When a draft is prepared, the document can either be viewed electronically at http://www.rmapil.org or at the RMAP offices located at 313 N Main St. 2. Transportation 2040 Tomorrow: A Long Range Transportation Plan for the Rockford Region (LRTP). The LRTP discusses, plans, and assigns priority for all major transportation systems improvements for the Metropolitan Area over the next 20 to 30 years. On July 30th, 2015 RMAP Policy Committee adopted the current LRTP. Federal transportation regulations mandate an update of this document be done once every 5 years. Accordingly, RMAP staff are now maintaining and revising the content of the document to reflect the current status of transportation planning in the area along with revising future goals and expectations that might be out of date since the last year’s full update was adopted. One of the most important changes to the current LRTP is the incorporation of further MAP-21 guidelines and related information. As the FAST-Act was signed into law on December 4th, 2015, amendments to the LRTP pertaining to subsequent regulations from the FAST Act will be incorporated accordingly into the LRTP. 3. RMAP COORDINATED PUBLIC TRANSIT HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION PLAN (HSTP): The HSTP is a locally developed plan that identifies the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes. The purpose of the Human Services Transportation Plan is to assess the needs and concerns of public transit users in the Metropolitan Planning Area and to develop strategies that will address and remedy these concerns. The overall goal of the plan is to increase the efficiency of services provided to public transit dependent populations (individuals with disabilities, persons with low income and elderly individuals). The Human Services Transportation Plan is also a prerequisite, as stipulated by MAP-21 to receiving any Federal Transit Administration funding under the 5310 (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities), which also includes the former section 5317 (New Freedom) program; as well as the former 5316 (Job Access and Reverse Commute) program, which is now a part of sections 5307 (urban) or 5311 (rural) funding programs. During Fiscal Year 2017, RMAP staff will engage the Mobility Subcommittee in an update to the HSTP, taking into account developments since the plan’s release

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

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.

Voices from the Grave

The Torch Murder of 1933 By Kathi Kresol Contributor

Reach 45,000 readers weekly! Advertise in TRRT: 815.964.9767 or email ads@rockrivertimes.com

It had been a good day that Sunday, August 13, 1933. Forty-one-year-old Earl Hanson had enjoyed the day with his 12-year-old daughter, June. They attended church services and went to the theater. Earl headed north on Main Street to take June back to her mother’s home at about nine o’ clock in the evening. Earl and his wife, May Mudler, had divorced on December 22, 1932, after a 12-year-marriage. At first, Earl believed May was happy, especially after June was born in 1922 and then little Doris came in 1923. There was a lot of strain in the marriage especially after they realized that Doris was developmentally disabled. They made the difficult choice to have Doris placed in an institution. So on that August night, Ed drove his little girl back to the home they had once shared. June Hanson kissed her father and skipped into the house. She was looking for her mother when she noticed a bright light coming from outside. June stepped back outside and saw an image that no child should have to see. She must have been horrified to see Earl crawl from the car completely engulfed in flames. June’s screams soon brought neighbors running. The first man to arrive saw a burning figure twisting on the ground. The fire was quickly put out but there was little that could be done. Earl Hanson was dead. The police arrived and at first they thought they were dealing with a car that had malfunctioned. They questioned everyone involved. May Hanson, Earl’s exwife, claimed that she was in the basement when she saw a flash of light through one of the windows. There were several warning signs to the initial police officers. They were concerned enough to summon Chief Deputy Millard and the Coroner Walter Julian to the house. As the police explored the crime scene, a porcelain bowl was discovered in

FIND YOUR ADVENTURE

the yard, hidden in tall grass. It was blackened and smelled of gas. The detectives continued to search the yard and uncovered a box of matches and a gas can that contained a small amount of gas. Police began to realize that Earl’s death was no accident. They would later call it one of the most bizarre murders that Winnebago County had ever seen. The first thing police officers noticed when they questioned May was that her hair, face, eyebrows and neck were singed and burned. May explained this by claiming that she got close to the car to confirm that her daughter was not inside. May also answered the authority’s questions in a very strange manner. One reporter described it like May was reciting a recipe instead of describing the horrible death of a human being. May admitted that she owned the gas can and had purchased gas that afternoon. She claimed she was trying to get her own car started. The car had not run in over a year. The porcelain bowl also belonged to May. She used it earlier in the day to water the chickens. May stated that she had no idea knowledge of how it had gotten into the yard. The authorities began to comb through all aspects of Earl Hanson’s life. Earl was a sales executive at Ingersoll Milling Machine Company. He was well respected and liked at his job. Robert Gaylord, the President of Ingersoll, handed the police what would become the main piece of evidence in the case. It was a handwritten letter that May had sent Earl that described how much she loathed him and ended with a death threat. The letter frightened Earl so much that he gave it to Robert for safekeeping in case anything ever happened to him. The police knew that they had their killer but they found it inconceivable that this tiny woman would kill in such a horrific manner. The police and coroner worked together to put together a theory of what happened that fateful August night. Earl pulled into the driveway and waited for June to enter the house. May hid in the bushes next to the driveway and when Earl stopped at the end of the driveway, she stepped from the shadows and splashed the contents of the porcelain bowl onto Earl. Then she lit a match and threw it into the car. She had no idea that the gas would cause the flames to billow up burning her flesh and hair. May calmly moved into the yard as June came out to see her father struggling against the flames that consumed him. State’s Attorney Nash prosecuted May Hanson in what the newspapers dubbed as the “Torch Murder”. The trial lasted 11 days and consisted of 39 witnesses for the state and six witnesses for the defense. The most riveting testimony came from the Hanson’s daughter, June who staunchly defended her mother’s innocence. May was found guilty and sentenced to 14 years. She was transferred in May of 1934 to Dwight’s Correctional Center. Doris died in the Nebraska institution in 1940. June was raised by May’s sister, Florence. June would eventually marry and move to Vermont where she passed away in 1994.

Lifecycle impact of electric vehicles By Allen Penticoff

Contributor

hanks to reader Steve Hall for sending me two pages of the Union of Concerned Scientists’ (USC) magazine, Catalyst, with information on the USC’s two-year study of the lifecycle impact of electric and fuel burning vehicles. The article and others related to the topic dispel the myth promoted by climate change deniers that electric vehicles are no cleaner than gasoline burning cars and trucks. The deniers have claimed two things against the EV – that the manufacture of the lithium ion batteries is a dirty process that produces a lot of pollution, and admittedly it does; and they claim that electric vehicles are essentially “coal powered” via electricity production. And there is a tiny bit of truth to the latter as well. So the unbiased and very scientific USC set about to analyze the whole situation of making a vehicle, operating it, and disposing of it. Altogether they found that an internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicle produces twice the pollution in its whole life as that of an EV. In the beginning, an EV is more pollution intense due to the manufacture of the batteries – a Nissan Leaf will produce about 15 percent more pollution than a similar size ICE car, while a Tesla S with its big powerful batteries will produce 68 percent more pollution than a comparable ICE. However, the difference fades rapidly as the vehicles are put in operation. Smaller EVs will meet the pollution equivalent of an

ICE within six months and a larger EV will do so in 18 months. From there on the EV will continue to be the vehicle with a significantly lower carbon footprint through the end of its life. USC analyzed all the power generated in the United States and created a map that shows the miles per gallon equivalent pollution of an EV’s power source. That is, the pollution from producing the energy and using it as

the equivalent of burning a gallon of gasoline. Because the United States has a lot of power generated by coal and natural gas and other areas are largely hydroelectric or nuclear powered the MPG equivalent (mpge) varies greatly. Also, this power generation is blended together. Our area here in northern Illinois is rated at 44 mpg equivalent because there is fossil fuel in our grid, but I believe locally we are

nearly entirely nuclear powered, with some solar at Freedom Field, and the wind power farms, so we are much cleaner than the map shows (which is based on 2012 data). The highest rated areas are Upstate New York at 135 mpge and the Pacific Northwest at 94 mpge and most of Alaska at 112 mpge. The center of the country is much lower – at 35 mpge. Overall the entire U.S. average is 68 mpge. So even in an area of dirty electric

production the EV is a winner when it comes to pollution with a very reasonable mpg equivalent of a smaller ICE vehicle. Our electric supplies will continue to get cleaner as more renewable energy is added to the mix and coal is fazed out, thus the EV will be ever more environmentally friendly. As for the end of life – both ICE and EV have a similar impact of producing about a ton of material to recycle. Batteries for the EV may be recycled or reconditioned at some time in the future as the metal in the engine of the ICE can be melted down over and over to make new products essentially indefinitely. Things in all cars that don’t recycle well are upholstery, carpet and some of the plastics, although manufacturers are using ever more recyclable materials in the construction of new vehicles. From cradle to grave, an electric vehicle has half the environmental impact of the fossil fueled vehicle, and that is a very good thing. An EV has many other benefits as well – lower maintenance costs, no stops at the gas station, quiet operation, and smooth powerful acceleration to name a few. We’ll continue to see more of them on our roads and in our garages. Its time has come. To read more about the Union of Concerned Scientists’ report, visit their website at UCSUSA.org. They have a “tool” where you can enter your zip code and the make and model of an electric vehicle to see what its pollution impact is in mpge comparable to an ICE vehicle or plug-in hybrid. Search under “electric vehicles” for reports and the “tool.”

Suprising strength in soybean prices By Debra Levey larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The U.S and world soybean situation continues to be one of surplus. The USDA’s March 9 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report projected 2015-16 marketing-year-ending stocks of U.S. soybeans at 460 million bushels, 10 million bushels above the February projection. The projection of world ending stocks, with stocks for Argentina and Brazil adjusted to an October-September marketing year, was lowered by 57 million bushels. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, those stocks are still expected to be record large. “At the projected level, U.S. stocks would represent 12.5 percent of projected use for the year,” Good said. “Stocks as a percent of use have been larger on numerous occasions, with a high of 28.5 percent for the 1985-86 marketing year. However, stocks at the level projected for this year are considered surplus in light of the record-large South American crop being harvested.” Soybean prices declined from the summer high as the large U.S. crop unfolded. May 2016 futures have traded in a post-harvest range of $8.535 to $9.175. The price of that contract was near contract lows on March 2, but moved about 40 cents higher by mid-March. “The modest price strength was somewhat of a surprise, coming in the face of a slowdown in the pace of the domestic crush and the impending large South American harvest,” Good said. Good added that the price strength may be attributed to a number of factors. “The USDA did not increase the forecast size of the South American crop on March 9 as many had expected. The recent strength in the value of the Brazilian currency may also make U.S soybeans a little more competitive in the world market. If that strength persists, there will also be less incentive to expand soybean acreage in Brazil in the coming year. In addition, the more widespread discussion of the elevated yield risk for the 2016 soybean crop may be reflected in the recent price strength,” he said. An additional factor that may be somewhat supportive to soybean prices is the current pace of U.S. soybean exports, Good said. “The USDA projects 2015-16 marketing-year exports at 1.69 billion bushels, unchanged from the February projection and 153 million bushels less than the record exports of last year. The export projection was not increased in the March 9 WASDE report even with a 55-million-bushel increase in the projection of imports by China during the current year. That increase is partially offset by smaller

import projections for Mexico (7 million bushels) and the European Union (18 million bushels). The projection of Brazilian exports was also increased by 37 million bushels.” With about 25 weeks left in the marketing year, the USDA reports that cumulative marketing-year export inspections for U.S soybeans have reached 1.48 billion bushels, 105 million bushels less than cumulative inspections of a year ago. However, cumulative Census Bureau export estimates (which are the estimates eventually reflected in the USDA soybean balance sheet) through the first five months of the current marketing year exceeded inspections by 32 million bushels. “A year ago, cumulative Census export estimates through February were only 6 million bushels larger than cumulative inspections,” Good said. “If the 32-million-bushel margin through January has persisted, cumulative exports have now reached 1.512 billion bushels, only 79 million bushels less than the total of a year ago. To reach the USDA projection of 1.69 billion bushels for the year, exports during the remainder of the marketing year need to total only 178 million bushels. That is about 74 million bushels less than exports during the same period last year. Weekly shipments, then, need to average only about 7.2 million bushels per week to reach the projected total for the year, compared to the average of 10.3 million bushels in the same period last year. Weekly inspections have exceeded those of a year ago in each of the past five weeks.” As of March 3, the USDA reported that 138 million bushels of U.S. soybeans had been sold for export, but not yet shipped. According to Good, to reach 1.69 billion bushels, new sales need to average 5.34 billion bushels per week for the remainder of the marketing year. Since some sales are typically carried forward to the next marketing year, sales likely need to average about6.7millionbushelsperweekforcumulativesales to result in exports of 1.69 billion bushels. The pace of sales will continue to slow in a seasonal fashion as the world turns to South American supplies, but new sales averaged 14.5 million bushels per week for the four weeks that ended March 3. “Although 2015-16 marketing-year U.S. soybean exports may marginally exceed the current USDA projection, year-ending stocks of soybeans will still be quite large,” Good said. “The USDA’s March 1 Grain Stocks report should confirm mid-year soybean stocks that were well above those of a year ago. For soybean prices to continue to move higher, expectations of a stronger demand environment will have to emerge or conditions will have to begin to point to a much smaller U.S. soybean crop in 2016. Expectations for the size of that crop will begin to unfold with the USDA’s Prospective Plantings report to be released on March 31.”

Trying something new: alternative berry options By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Unlike the berries and brambles I’ve written about this winter, I occasionally receive calls and emails asking about growing alternative berries. These are berries you’ve probably heard about in the last couple of years due to their increasing popularity based on the fruits having high antioxidants and large concentration of beneficial vitamins. For instance, Aronia is a tart berry that grows particularly well at Midwest farms. Before you decide to grow these plants, taste them. While the berries may have good nutritional benefits, many are tart and require combining with another fruit to sweeten depending on what you are going to do with them. Some of these plants have thorns. Keep in mind pollination as you may need to plant both a male and female, different varieties, or it may be self-fruitful. This will vary among the berries. Goji berry is also known as Wolfberry and is high in antioxidants like the Aronia berry. It has a sweet and tart flavor. The plant has a wide range of temperature tolerations from minus 15to- 100-degrees F. The plant is in the nightshade family and produces purple flowers that will

eventually become red-orange fruits. For the plant to grow well, it needs direct sunlight, moist soil, and more of an alkaline soil (pH above 7). If soil conditions are right, the plant can reach up to 12 feet tall. Seaberry is also known as sea buckthorn. It has bright, orange clusters of berries and needs full sun combined with good drainage. Seaberry can actually improve the soil and sequester nitrogen. Unlike others, it does need pollination from a different variety. If only one variety is grown, this can result in poor yield and no fruit. When mature, the plant might reach six to 18 feet tall. Honeyberry is a blue colored berry that is a member of the honeysuckle family. It has a high level of antioxidants and is cold hardy. It ripens in early summer. You’ll need to plant two varieties. It is exceptionally cold hardy. Many of these berries can be ordered from companies that specialize in fruit trees. These companies will be able to provide you with additional growing information. You’ll still want to have some idea as to what you are planting though. Find Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for your athome garden every week in The Rock River Times.

Tales from the Trough

IceHogs fall out of first By Todd Reicher Contributor

The IceHogs have finally fallen out of first place in the Central Division thanks to a weekend sweep from the Charlotte Checkers. Rockford’s first loss was on Saturday, March 12 when the Checkers took home a 6-3 win. Charlotte’s offense exploded for four first period goals, chasing goaltender Michael Leighton who gave up all four goals on 11 shots. Charlotte was up 2-0 2:31 into the game before Mark McNeill scored at 4:01 to bring the game to a 2-1 score. The Checkers would tally another two goals in a span of 2:15 later in the period with a power play marker at 15:10 and an even-strength goal at 17:25. Ex-Checkers goaltender Drew MacIntyre came on in relief of Leighton and stopped 18 of 19 shots he faced. After a miserable first period, you would have thought Rockford would have come out firing in the second, but the ‘Hogs only managed a total of three shots in the third period to Charlotte’s 16, giving the Checkers a 5-1 lead at the end of the second. Rockford scored two late third period goals, a second from McNeill and one from Tanner Kero, to bring the game to 5-3, but an empty net tally with 1:36 left shattered all hopes of a comeback. And it was not as if Rockford didn’t have chances – the power play unit was a dismal 0-for-8 with that

IceHogs rookie forward Tanner Kero continues his scoring touch over the past few weeks, scoring two goals in Charlotte this past weekend. Kero and Mark McNeill are tied with the team lead in goals at 19, although Kero has played in four less games at 44. Todd Reicher

advantage, and gave up one goal on six attempts. The following afternoon, both teams met for the second game of the weekend series. This time, it was Rockford scoring the first goal, and rather quickly. Kero scored only 50 seconds in

to give Rockford the early 1-0 lead. Unfortunately for Rockford, that was the only goal the team could muster as Charlotte rattled off four unanswered goals, including two late empty-netters, to skate off with a 4-1 win.

Leighton stopped 16 of 18 shots he faced, but opposing goaltender John Muse, who was named the goaltender of the week, stopped 26 of 27 Rockford shots to earn the win. Rockford was only awarded two power play opportunities during the game, but failed to convert on either, and Rockford’s special teams unit held the Checkers scoreless on four attempts. The two brightest spots of the weekend were Kero and McNeill, who potted two goals each, and accounted for all of Rockford’s offense. With the two losses to Charlotte, Rockford now sits behind the Grand Rapids Griffins, who, as of March 14, have won 11 straight games to launch them into first place. Rockford played Charlotte for a third straight game when the Checkers hit the BMO on Tuesday (results unavailable at press time). The IceHogs will play three games in three days with a home-and-home series against the Chicago Wolves for the first two games. Friday’s game will take place in Rosemont with Saturday’s game in Rockford. Sunday’s game will be against, you guessed it, the Charlotte Checkers. Rockford will play Charlotte two more times after this week, with another weekend series on Charlotte the weekend of April 5. With 16 games left in the regular season, and only four points separating the top four teams in the division, it is going to be an exciting race to the finish!

No time for panic with Blackhawks By Adam Hess Contributor

s the NHL regular season winds down, the Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in another rough patch. In many ways, it feels like a repeat of last month, with the Blackhawks losing games that fans feel they should win and many fans subsequently reaching for a panic button. This time, there is perhaps a bit more reason for concern.. The Hawks have lost three straight games to three teams that they could very well end up facing in each of the first three rounds of playoffs: St. Louis, Dallas, and Los Angeles. Ironically, as the standings sit, that would be the order in which the Hawks would oppose those teams, assuming they were to each win their series. More than just the recent losses, though, there are several statistics that could raise concern about just how realistic the Blackhawks chances are when it comes to contending in the postseason. The most glaring area of concern is that of the penalty kill. In the last six seasons, the Black-

hawks have ranked in the top ten in penalty kill three times, and outside of the top ten three times. Guess which three years they won the Stanley Cup? A box of Mars bars for you if you guessed the former. The three seasons in which the Blackhawks fell short of Cup glory – 2011, 2012, and 2014 – Chicago’s penalty kill ranked 25th, 29th and 14th in the NHL, respectively. Their rank this season: 25th, with a 78.5 percent kill rate. If the trend is your friend, this one is that friend you don’t like to have around too much. There could be a number of reasons that the PK has struggled this season. One such explanation could be the fact that Marcus Kruger and Marian Hossa, two of the team’s best penalty killers, have missed significant time recently. Kruger has been out since before the new year, but Hossa’s injury was much more recent. The Hawks PK was tied for ninth in the NHL on Feb. 9. Hossa went down to injury on Feb. 13. While the loss of that one player seemingly should not impact them to the tune of dropping

16 spots, that is certainly a possibility. Another possibility is that Corey Crawford had been carrying the team’s PK with his stellar play when down a man, and now that he’s leveling off a bit the PK is being exposed. The Hawks do allow the most shots on goal per 60 minutes of PK time, but that is mostly by design – Crawford likes the sightlines, so the Hawks don’t try to block as many shots – so one can’t consider that to be of too much concern. However, while the penalty kill is a legitimate concern for this team, there is still reason to believe that they can right the ship. It took them just 13 games to go from the ninth to the 25th best PK in the NHL. They still have 11 games left, so perhaps the PK will get hot and they’ll climb back up the rankings. Hossa’s already returned and Kruger will soon; their presence will certainly help things. “You want to turn this around as soon as possible, but I don’t think it’s panic or anything like that,” defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk told the Sun-Times. “We know what we’re capable of, and

we need to get back to playing that way.” So no, even with the PK issues the players feel there’s still no reason to panic. As has been said over and over again, this team is built for the playoffs. Their spot in the postseason is all but locked up at this point, so perhaps they’ve shifted into a bit more of a cruise mode as the season winds down. This team has the playoffs in mind, and they know how to win once they get there. They still match up well, if not favorably, against all of the other Western Conference contenders. So if you have a small knot in your stomach right now, you won’t find condemnation nor confirmation here. But these Blackhawks have more than earned the benefit of the doubt, and until they’re on the wrong side of a handshake line this spring, they’re still a threat to bring Lord Stanley’s Cup back home.

How’s your bracket look? And just who is getting paid? By Dae Hee Kwak TheCoversation.com

articipating in a March Madness bracket office pool this year? Don’t rely too much on experts’ picks or overestimate your chance of winning. And if you’re feeling confident about your bracket, you should know that just the act of trying to predict the winner of each of the 63 games is enough to boost your confidence you’ll come out on top. In one study, we gave empty brackets to 81 college students. Half of them were specifically asked to fill out the bracket; the other half were given the bracket but not asked to fill it out. They all were asked to project their winning probabilities – if they had completed the bracket, how good they thought it was, and if they hadn’t, how good they could have made it if they had tried. When we adjusted for participants’ past bracket experience and basketball knowledge, we found that people who filled out a bracket showed greater confidence in winning than those who did not make any selections. Simply putting some effort into making picks increased their belief in having a good chance of winning. My interviews with participants showed that filling out a bracket will also encourage consumers to watch more games with heightened levels of arousal and excitement. This is critical for television networks, and for sponsors who spend millions of dollars on rights and advertising. No wonder the NCAA, which strictly bans all forms of legal or illegal gambling on college sports, releases a free downloadable “Official Bracket” every year. Feeling confident is a good thing, as I teach my young son all the time, but not when you are gambling. We often make biased judgments, believing correct picks are due to “skill” but chalking up losses to “bad luck.” Such biasing judgments only reinforce the illusory perception of control over what is actually a random outcome. Psychologists have found that “illusion of control” is prevalent when chance is involved and has been widely examined in trading, gambling and fantasy sports. Research has also found that illusory perception in winning is heightened when skill-relevant factors are involved, such as personal involvement, knowledge, competition and familiarity with the task.

Confidence doesn’t improve accuracy, but does raise the stakes

March Madness brackets provide ample opportunities for basketball mavens to believe that they can make accurate predictions – even though that may not be the case. You make personal selections, rely on stats and expert knowledge, and usually compete

with your office mates or friends, or even online with anonymous others (such as on ESPN). A second study, published alongside the first, showed this. In 2011, we ran a mock tournament with real prizes ($100 gift card) involving college basketball fans. We wanted to see if people who were more confident about their picks were actually more correct than their less confident peers. After all the participants made their selections, we asked how confident they were that they would be in the top 10 percent for overall bracket accuracy by the end of the tournament. Based on their self-rating of confidence in winning, we grouped participants into highand low-confidence sections and tracked their actual performance after three weeks of the tournament. Interestingly, we found no difference between these groups: that confidence had no effect on improving accuracy. Moreover, the confident fans would have lost 2.56 times more money than the less confident group if they had actually been betting on their results. The members of the more confident group said they would wager an average of $22.95, while those who were less confident projected betting $8.85 on average. In the same year, three basketball analysts from ESPN, CBS and Sports Illustrated made their Final Four predictions. Only one analyst correctly picked one school out of the four; when we compared the picks of so-called “experts” to the nonexperts in our study, we found neither was more successful. So confidence in winning a pool does not necessarily mean that you will win some cash or free lunch from your colleague. Warren Buffett once announced he would give $1 billion to anyone who picked a perfect bracket. No one ever came up with any brackets even near perfect, which shouldn’t be surprising. The chance for the perfect bracket is somewhere north of 1 in 120 billion (or maybe a couple trillion, or even a few quintillion). But we know for sure that people will still come back this year and fill out their brackets online, offline or on their smartphones. While we found that overconfidence does not translate into winning, we did learn that it boosts enjoyment. It is the excitement from overconfidence that brings people back to the bracket every year. Fill out a bracket and boost your confidence: that is perhaps all you need for enjoying watching the tournament with your colleagues and friends. Don’t get too serious, though. You might end up buying lunch for your office mate who picked his teams solely based on jersey colors.

he NCAA men’s basketball tournament started last night. From then until the final on April 4, CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting will bring you every game, focusing on the buzzer beaters, the Cinderella stories, the athletes overcoming the odds. It’ll all end, as it always does, with confetti guns and net-cutting, and a video montage of highlights played over “One Shining Moment.” What you won’t see much about is who benefits financially by participating in a tournament that generates hundreds of millions of dollars for the NCAA. Yes, the players earn scholarships, as will athletes in nonrevenue sports, whose schooling is also funded through tournament profits. But one thing that gets very little attention is the fact that the men who put the basketball players through drills every day stand to go home with substantial bonuses on top of their already handsome salaries. If the media - including CBS and Turner, but other sports news outlets as well - started to note that routinely, it would add balance to coverage that makes it seem as if the whole tournament is just played for laughs. Why be the killjoy at the national party that is March Madness? And why accent coaches’ pay in particular? The answer is that coverage of the tournament focuses on the competition – the games themselves – and the surrounding hoopla so narrowly that the overall image of the three-week event is incomplete to the point of being disingenuous. It all looks like so much fun and nothing else. But here’s the real deal. The tournament is the primary money-maker for the entire NCAA, accounting for more than 80 percent of the governing body’s $871.6 million in revenue in 2011-12, the last year for which the NCAA has posted audited numbers on its website. Most of this money comes from the lucrative television contracts owing to the very high ratings the games draw. In 2006, for example, CBS and Turner agreed to pay $11 billion to host the tournament for 14 years beginning in 2010 – about $771 million annually.

March Madness

Where do these millions of dollars go?

Not to the cities, whose taxpayers bear some of the costs of hosting the games. Research shows the host cities don’t get much indirect economic benefit to show for it either. In fact, much of what the NCAA makes goes back to athletic conferences – college sports leagues, for the uninitiated – and schools. As the sports governing body puts it on its website: “All but 4 percent of NCAA revenue is either returned directly to member conferences and institutions or used to support championships and programs that benefit student-athletes.” In other words, a healthy chunk of the whole college sports scene is paid for by March Madness, the single biggest moment in the college sports calendar. Of course, the athletes themselves don’t get com-

pensated beyond their scholarships, despite how much money they bring in. They are playing for pride, for the chance to be champions and for the attention that brings. However, a lot of other people – in addition to working for all those things – do get compensated. And at the top of this list are the guys on the bench with the players – their coaches. See, while tournament money doesn’t go directly from the NCAA to coaches, it does go to schools, who pay the salaries of coaches, who often receive bonuses for various performance metrics, including their teams making and advancing in the NCAA tournament. Many of the 68 schools that will play in the 2016 tournament are public universities and colleges, which means two things. One, those coaching salaries, many in the millions, are the people’s money, and the public has a right to know how its cash is being spent. It’s arguable that the media – particularly independent news organizations reporting on the tournament – even have an obligation to remind the world of coaches’ contracts at this time of year. Two, in most cases, the salaries and bonuses of those coaches are a matter of public record. It’s not hard to request the contracts of basketball coaches or find them online, so the media’s task would not be onerous. Often, journalists may be so caught up in game coverage they don’t think to check - that’s my excuse for why I didn’t look up the coaches’ contracts when I covered the Final Four in 2012 with the Associated Press. Nonetheless, it took me just two clicks to locate the contract of Kentucky’s John Calipari, which the school posted on the web. He’ll get an extra $100,000 if the Wildcats make the Sweet Sixteen, another $175,000 if they reach the Final Four and $375,000 more if they win the national title. To review, if Kentucky wins the national title, its coach gets $650,000 in bonus money. Its players get nothing. USA Today has a notable tradition of creating a database of tournament coaches’ salaries that includes a “maximum bonus” column, and it isn’t the only paper that has shone a light on the hundreds of millions of dollars generated by the NCAA tournament and the people it benefits. Yet those stories tend to be one-offs that fade away quickly at a time when Americans fill out 40 million tournament brackets and typically wager about $9 billion; once the ball is tipped, fans care mostly about winning. But the purpose of the bonus exercise wouldn’t actually be reform – it would be about creating well-rounded sports coverage and informing the public. It’s the difference between a single story, or series of stories, as in the case of recent reporting on college sports finances by The Washington Post, and a steady reminder that could change the nature of how the media frames the sports landscape. If CBS/Turner made the first move toward that by flashing an infographic on the screen early in each of the NCAA tournament’s 65 game with the coaches’ salaries and potential bonuses at stake, then discussed it for 30 seconds, it would help the American public understand at deeper level the business side of March Madness. It also would send a message that the media is willing to be transparent about financial implications of the events it covers. That’s nothing more or less than good reporting.
