Indiana boxes itself into legal corner ‘That we can even have an exercise in religion running directly against a human rights ordinance is cause alone for concern.’ By Matt Anderson Special to TRRT

Editor’s note: Last week, our neighbor to the east passed legislation allowing businesses to deny service based on religious beliefs. Titled the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act (IRFRA), the bill has become a hot-button topic in the fight for LGBT civil rights. We are pleased to have Indiana lawyer Matt Anderson of Wruble & Associates (South Bend, Indiana) break down the legal implications of IRFRA and the impact it could have on LGBT rights at large.

et’s begin with the legal basis of IRFRA. Please take the time to read the letter from 16 law professors to Sen. Brent Steele (available at indianahouserepublicans.com/clientuploads/ PDF/RFRA/RFRA.pdf), who co-authored the bill, and to also review the legislative history of the law (iga.in.gov/legislative/2015/bills/senate/101), including proposed amendments that did make it into the bill. Looking at the above letter, there are some statements which I thought stood out and lend to the controversy at issue: “For many religious believers, weddings are inherently religious events in which their participation must conform to religious obligations. This creates a serious conflict for religious individuals who personally provide creative services to assist with weddings. But whatever one thinks of the arguments for and against exempting such individuals, it is not at all clear that the proposed Indiana RFRA would lead courts to recognize such an exemption.” (Letter, p. 6.) I happen to agree with the conclusion. The reason we do not know if an exemption would apply though is because there is no precedent that would suggest the State has a compelling interest in protecting LGBT rights. While there are human rights ordinances in place at the city and county level, would those ordinances be deemed to be a “compelling” government interest in the eyes of the State? There is no precedent for or against any such finding that I have seen. Cases that have addressed the issue had applicable human rights laws at the state level. This lack of precedent is also due in

part to the only recent ratification of gay marriage amongst most federal circuits. What we do know is that the legislation is designed to give greater and clearer protection for religious freedom: “By explicitly codifying this test in the Indiana Code, the proposed legislation would give religious freedom more transparent and more secure protection, explicitly instructing judges that religiously motivated conduct is legally protected, subject to the compelling-interest test.” (Letter, p. 4.) So, it’s fair to say that we are entering unknown legal territory but the framework in place in Indiana is one that favors religious freedom over LGBT rights.

Does IRFRA resemble its federal counterpart?

The short answer here is no. I have seen the point made that federal democrats in 1993 passed a similar bill into law. This is in reference to 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb, which was indeed passed during the Clinton administration. This soundbyte is apparently made to imply that the left cannot complain because they created the blueprint. Indeed, as Gov. Pence provided in a statement last week: “Fortunately, in the 1990s Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act—limiting government action that would infringe upon religion to only those that did not substantially burden free exercise of religion absent a compelling state interest and in the least restrictive means.” The flaw in this implication is that it is misleading for several reasons. The federal act was deemed inapplicable to state actions. Consequently, several states have copied the federal act or have adopted similar legislation. Upon a scan of the Liberty Counsel’s list of such legislation, Indiana’s version of the bill most resembles a similar law passed in Texas in 1999 but even that bill contains significant limitations that Indiana’s does not. What is clear is that Indiana has not copied the federal legislation or those passed by other states, but has instead added more expansive language as seen below. The IRFRA adds several clauses which rightly give pause to the endless possibilities of using religion and religious

freedom as a sword and a shield. Furthermore, aside from being procedurally engineered to get to a courtroom ASAP the law as written will not be analyzed by an Indiana Court through the same rubric that the federal legislation goes through. Indiana arguably puts greater emphasis on religious freedom and clearly offers no civil or human rights protections based on sexual orientation. This is the exact opposite of the federal level, where protections based on sexual orientation have at least come up enough to demonstrate it as a “compelling” government interest. Therefore, the difference, if not in how they are written, is that the federal government has shown such protections to be a government interest whereas Indiana has not (i.e. how they are applied). So, let’s dispense with pretending that similarities in how the laws are drafted would equate to them being applied the same way.

What are the controversial provisions and why?

Let’s start with Section 5, which reads: “As used in this chapter, ‘exercise of religion’ includes any exercise of religion, whether or not compelled by, or central to, a system of religious belief.” (Emphasis added.) First, note the lack of any restrictive language in this paragraph. The word “includes” is deliberately used in place of “means.” The latter would at least limit “any exercise of religion” to the predicate definition. “Includes” just means that this is but one example of exercising religion. Here the law goes beyond its most similar counterparts in Texas and New Mexico which use “means”. While this language indeed mirrors the federal legislation, proponents of the IRFRA have submitted that Indiana’s constitution protects religious freedom to greater extent than federal law. Second, religion is not defined. So “any exercise of religion” is subject to a fairly broad interpretation. Third, any action which may fall under the “exercise of religion” may or not be “compelled by, or central to, a system of religious belief.” In other words, even if the belief is at the fringe of what a religion

may or may not hold true, it falls under this definition of exercising one’s religion. Section 7 then reads: “As used in this chapter, ‘person’ includes the following: (1) An individual. (2) An organization, a religious society, a church, a body of communicants, or a group organized and operated primarily for religious purposes. (3) A partnership, a limited liability company, a corporation, a company, a firm, a society, a joint-stock company, an unincorporated association, or another entity that: (A) may sue and be sued; and (B) exercises practices that are compelled or limited by a system of religious belief held by: (i) an individual; or (ii) the individuals; who have control and substantial ownership of the entity, regardless of whether the entity is organized and operated for profit or nonprofit purposes.” (Emphasis added.) The potential danger in this aspect of the statute is that it may become self-fulfilling. For example, as has been cited before, say a hotel corporation with a religious owner refuses service to an individual based upon his religious beliefs. Now, even if that person had not previously exercised such practices, this Act, which requires no more than two religious practices that fall into this category, would allow a corporation to begin a discriminatory practice in the name of free exercise, and remember now how broadly exercising religion is defined? This inevitably leads the reader to Section 9, which reads: “A person whose exercise of religion has been substantially burdened, or is likely to be substantially burdened, by a violation of this chapter may assert the violation or impending violation as a claim or defense in a judicial or administrative proceeding, regardless of whether the state or any other governmental entity is a party to the proceeding. If the relevant governmental entity is not a party to the proceeding, the governmental entity has an unconditional right to intervene in order to respond to the person’s invocation of this chapter.” (Emphasis added.) In other words, you can defend yourself in a criminal or civil action on the very broad basis of “any exercise of religion.” Where this may apply the most would be a Court’s ability or inability to apply a human rights ordinance against someone with a religious objection. That we can even have an exercise in religion running directly against a human rights ordinance is cause alone for concern. See CORNER on Page 15

Analysis

The true intent of IRFRA from the people who wrote it By Zack Ford From ThinkProgress.org

ndiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) and state Republican leaders have been playing damage control this week, claiming that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is not a law that enables anti-LGBT discrimination. Meanwhile, however, the conservatives who advocated for the bill have been spurning this attempted walkback, asserting in the process that the goal was ensuring discrimination all along. At the forefront of the conservative reaction is Micah Clark, who serves as executive director of the American Family Association of Indiana and who stood right behind Pence as he signed the bill. Speaking Monday to Tim Wildmon, head of the national American Family Association, Clark explained that conservatives should oppose any effort to clarify that the law does not legalize discrimination. “That could totally destroy this bill,” he explained. Clark has been publicly advocating for the bill as a means for allowing anti-LGBT discrimination since December, long before the legislation was even drafted. This directly contradicts the claims made Monday by House Speaker Brian Bosma (R) and Senate President

Pro Tem David Long (R) that the legislation never had anything to do with discrimination. Eric Miller, Executive Director of Advance America, is another anti-LGBT activist who stood by Pence as he signed the bill. Advance America praised Pence for signing the bill last week, openly stating that it would allow wedding vendors to refuse to serve same-sex couples and allow Christian businesses to refuse transgender people access to restrooms. Miller was quoted as saying, “It is vitally important to protect religious freedom in Indiana. It’s the right thing to do. It was therefore important to pass Senate Bill 101 in 2015 in order to help protect churches, Christian businesses and individuals from those who want to punish them because of their Biblical beliefs!” Pence and Miller, it turns out, go way back. On the national stage, conservatives are similarly defending the RFRA and arguing it needs no fixing. Andrew Walker, Director of Policy Studies for the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, perhaps best summed up the distortion conservatives are using to argue that it’s not See INTENT on Page 15

Fracking never on a path to sustainability

Tech can help go green for Earth Day

n March 20 the White House released the first Federal regulations on hydraulic fracturing. They apply only to Federal lands but are seen as a model which states could emulate to create more uniform standards within the country. Some environmental groups welcome the Federal initiative but indicate the regulations do not go far enough. In contrast industry groups see the Federal standards as unnecessary and claim existing state standards are effective in protecting public health and the environment. While some fracking for oil and gas has occurred over the past 60 years, concerns about the process have intensified over the last seven years as its use has grown dramatically. Conventional sources of oil and gas occurred primarily in porous rocks such as sandstone. Fracking allows companies to capture unconventional oil and gas from less porous rock such as clay. In fracking a vertical well is drilled down to the level of the trapped gas formation. Then drilling is redirected to run horizontally into it. Explosive charges are set at the bottom of the vertical well followed by large volumes of highly pressurized fracking fluids forced into the horizontally drilled area to open cracks in the rock to increase the flow of the gas. The fluid consists primarily of water with sand and other chemicals added to hold open the cracks to facilitate the recovery of gas. Some of the chemicals used have known adverse health and environmental impacts as do some in the rock formation. When pressure on the well is released, the chemically laden

water flows back up to the surface. Growing evidence links fracking to air and water pollution and earthquakes leading to increased demand for more stringent regulations. Issues involve public disclosure of chemicals used in the process, assurance of well integrity so there are no leaks into the rock formations through which they were drilled and safe disposal of wastewater that returns to the surface. The industry prefers state regulations and claims they are reducing the adverse consequences of fracking, Environmental groups are calling for higher standards and a larger role for the Federal Government in stimulating them. Missed in the regulation debate is that many of the oil and gas reservoirs being tapped are regional in scope and cross state boundaries suggesting uniform standards should cover the entire reservoir. Without a federal presence states may set minimal regulations to gain a competitive advantage over other states with oil and gas resources. With state regulations in place, a dramatic increase in fracking in Illinois is likely to start in fall of this year. Public attention will shift to ensuring that enforcement protects public health and the environment where the drilling is occurring. While the drilling will occur in what is considered the largest known deposits, it could expand to much of the Illinois basin. Fracking will intensify our fossil fuel consumption just as scientists are calling for a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions and expanding our commitment to efficiency and renewable energy. It is unlikely to lead to a sustainable future. Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl can be reached via e-mail at sonia@essex1.com.

Green Apps

There are hundreds of apps designed to help you make earth-friendly lifestyle changes – from PaperKarma, an app which helps you stop the flow of junk mail to your home, to the Green Gumshoe, which facilitates the reporting of environmental incidents to the correct authorities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a good resource for finding and locating the best green apps. What’s more, they offer developer tools for those wishing to make their own green apps using EPA data.

Lamp-free projectors

If your home, school or business could use a green makeover, an easy place to start is by replacing an outdated projector with something more energy efficient. For example, Casio’s LampFree Projectors consume 1/3 less power per unit than traditional lamp-based projectors by using a Laser & LED Hybrid Light Source. Guided by

Intelligent Brightness Control, you can conserve power up to 50 percent because the projectors automatically adjust brightness to suit the room. For every 6,000 hours of use, that amounts to approximately $800 dollars saved compared to a traditional lamp-based projector. In addition, Casio’s portfolio of projectors, including its SLIM series, takes environmental consciousness a step further by eliminating harmful mercury bulbs from the equation.

Solar Chargers

You may rely on multiple devices to get you through the day, from your mobile phone to your tablet to your laptop. It’s easy to keep these items running without draining electricity, even when you’re on the go. Solar chargers come in all shapes and sizes these days – clam shell, tree branches, foldable – you can even buy a backpack or laptop case equipped with a solar panel.

Seed starting: set your garden right

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

s we enter April, now is the time to start our vegetable transplants. Growing your own plants from seeds can be intimidating as it does require some equipment; however, once you figure out how to grow your own vegetable transplants, it is very easy. It allows you to grow unique varieties you may not find at nurseries or garden centers. There are many vegetables that benefit greatly from being started indoors. These include warm loving plants like eggplant, tomato, and pepper. Larger seeds like squash do not need to be started indoors although can sometimes benefit from 2-3 weeks of growth as a transplant. Cool season crops like cabbage can also benefit from seed starting. Equipment for growing transplants includes a light source, growing mix, pots/cell trays and seeds. There are seed starting kits available and once purchased can be used each year. Because transplants need 10-14 hours of light, you should aim for a light source that you can control. This light source needs to start very close

to the pots/cell trays then gradually raise it up as the transplants grow. If the light source is too high starting out, it can lead to spindly growth. If you use a window for your transplants, the plants may not get enough light. A transplant growing mix can be found at garden centers and supply needed nutrients to your plants. Keep the transplants’ soil moist as nutrients will leach if too wet. Before you plant your seeds, you need to factor in your planting date which is determined by the last expected spring frost in the area. This date can vary year to year. Different crops are started at varying weeks before this date. For warm season crops, these are planted mid to end of May and can be started as transplants 5-7 weeks before this planting period. Seeds should be planted a depth double their thickness and covered with light growing mix. Place your plants in a warm area of your house. Keep soil moist during this critical period. Within 7-10 days or earlier, your seeds will have germinated. Now all you have to do is make sure the plant gets the water and light it needs to be ready for your garden.

March soybean stock estimates overshadowed From the University of Illinois URBANA – The USDA’s estimate of Dec. 1, 2014, stocks of U.S. soybeans was surprisingly small, according to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good. Based on the estimated size of the 2014 crop and estimates of exports and domestic crush during the previous quarter, the stocks estimate implied a record-large residual use of soybeans during the first quarter (September-November) of the 2014-15 marketing year. The USDA provides an estimate of seed and residual use of soybeans for the marketing year, but does not estimate seed and residual use on a quarterly basis. “Historically, those quarterly estimates were provided based on estimates of total domestic disappearance of soybeans and the Census Bureau estimates of the size of the domestic crush during the quarter,” Good said. Monthly Census Bureau crush estimates were discontinued in July 2011. Quarterly estimates of seed and residual use can now be derived based on the monthly estimates of the domestic crush provided by the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA). “Using NOPA estimates of crush, adjusted to reflect that the NOPA estimate is thought to be for about 95 percent of the industry, seed and residual use of soybeans during the first quarter of the 2014-215 marketing year is estimated at 281 million bushels,” Good said. “That estimate is 51 million bushels larger than the previous record use a year earlier and 100 million bushels larger than use during the first quarter of the 2012-13 marketing year. Some explained part of the large residual use with the observation that more soybeans were in transport on Dec. 1, 2014, than in previous years. Export inspections, for example, were about 20 million bushels larger during the first week of December 2014 than in the same week the previous year. That is the explanation that was apparently favored by the market, as March 2015 soybean futures closed 36 cents lower on the day the estimate was released.” Good said another possible explanation for the large residual use of soybeans during the first quarter of the marketing year is that the 2014 crop was overestimated. This argument might be supported by higher-than-expected soybean prices this year given the estimated size of the surplus projected to be generated by the large 2014 crop. In addition, basis levels have been generally strong for most of the year. The USDA’s estimate of March 1, 2015, soybean stocks, to be released on March 31, may provide some insight into the debate. Expectations for the magnitude of March 1 stocks are based on the estimate of Dec. 1 stocks, imports during the quarter, and estimates of soybean consumption during the quarter. With Dec. 1 stocks at 2.524 billion bushels and quarterly imports of 10 million bushels, supplies for

the quarter would have totaled 2.534 billion bushels. Based on monthly NOPA estimates, the domestic crush during the second quarter of the 2014-15 marketing year was 2.4 percent larger than the crush during the same quarter in the previous year. “The total domestic crush should have been near 498 million bushels,” Good said. Census Bureau estimates of soybean exports are available for December 2014 and January 2015, but have not yet been released for February 2015. “The Census estimate of exports for the two months was 8 million bushels less than the USDA estimate of export inspections during December 2014 and January 2015,” Good said. “If that margin persisted through February, quarterly exports should have totaled about 715 million bushels. “If the size of the 2014 soybean crop has been accurately estimated, the March 1 stocks estimate should imply a large negative seed and residual use during the second quarter of the 2014-15 marketing year,” Good continued. “That was the case in previous years of very large, implied residual use during the first quarter of the marketing year. Seed and residual use during the second quarter of the marketing year, for example, was estimated at -38 million bushels last year, -22 million bushels in 2012-13, and -42 million bushels in 2009-10. A reasonable expectation this year might be near -90 million bushels. A March 1 stocks estimate near 1.41 billion bushels would be consistent with the estimated size of the 2014 crop and known use of soybeans through February.” Good said if the USDA March 1 stocks estimate deviates substantially from the calculated value, the debate about the size of the 2014 crop may be renewed. Such a debate, however, would not be resolved for another six months. “The USDA’s estimate of the crop size is frequently revised, but not until the release of the Sept. 1 stocks estimate, which will be on Sept. 30 this year,” Good said. “Historically, implied seed and residual use of soybeans during the first half of the marketing year has not been a good predictor of the size or direction of any subsequent change in the estimated size of the crop. Trade expectations for the USDA March 1 estimate of soybean stocks will be reported this week. “If history is any indicator, expectations will be in a wide range,” Good said. “In addition, the experience following the release of the Dec. 1 stocks estimate suggests that the price reaction to the USDA estimate is difficult to anticipate. As concluded for corn last week, unless the March 1 soybean stocks estimate deviates substantially from the range of possibilities, expectations about the magnitude of year-ending stocks will not likely be altered. The market will likely focus instead on the estimate of soybean planting intentions.”

New shows feeling nostalgic Entertainment abound for this week’s First Friday

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

ith the final seven episode of AMC’s award-winning Mad Men starting this Sunday, it’s hard not to feel a big nostalgic — and not just because the series is mired in period-appropriate ‘60s fashion, design and mores. As the final episodes draw near I find myself thinking back to the first time I saw the show. I binge-watched every preview episode AMC sent me in one day, and I was hooked. A lot has happened to Don Draper (Jon Hamm) since the show debuted in 2007. He and Betty (January Jones) divorced, he married the much younger and much too good for him Megan (Jessica Paré), and was fired from the ad agency he co-founded. Oh, and at some point he finally stopped trying to hide the fact that he isn’t really Don Draper. Every character on Mad Men has evolved over the course of the show, but perhaps none more that Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss). Peggy went from Don’s secretary to junior copywriter, eventually becoming the boss of several male copywriters. She also had Pete’s (Vincent Kartheiser) not-quite-love child back in season one; her family now passes the boy off as her nephew. But Mad Men isn’t the only nostalgic show on the air. A new season of PBS’s popular British series Call the Midwife began last week. Based on the memoirs of real-life midwife Jennifer Worth, the series is set in a poverty-stricken area of London in the late 1950s and follows the lives of a group of midwives — both nurses and nuns —living together in Nonnatus House. Together, they deliver babies and care for mothers and newborns throughout the impoverished community. At the end of the previous season the main

character, nurse Jennie Lee (Jessica Raine), transferred to a job in the then new field of hospice care, but Chummy (Miranda Hart), Trixie (Helen George), Shelagh and Dr. Turner (Laura Main and Stephen McGann), Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter), Sister Evangeline (Pam Ferris) and the Shakespearean-ly senile Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) are still around to welcome her replacement (Charlotte Ritchie). Nurse Cynthia Miller (Bryony Hannah) who left to become a nun last season will return as well. Making room for new characters has gradually expanded the world of Call The Midwife, yet Nonnatus House remains the hub they revolve around. If that’s not enough nostalgia for you, this week’s episode of PBS’ Great Performances features legendary vocalist — and former Eurythmics singer — Annie Lennox covering classic American songs from her Grammy-nominated album, Nostalgia. A friend of mine was lucky enough to be at the taping of the show in Los Angeles a couple months ago and was blown away at Lennox’s musicianship and unique take on Billie Holiday classics like “Strange Fruit,” “God Bless The Child” and “I Cover the Waterfront,” as well as songs from Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington and George and Ira Gershwin.

Literary Hook By Chris Swanberg

A Friend Asks

Sonnet for Live Words

why I write poetry and though I’ve dreamed of this moment for years, it stops me like a siren:

Give me consonants snapping like snare drums, the difference between a T and a D. Serve me a whole slice of bread, not just crumbs. A tangerine’s not a dromedary. Speak vowels tunnel-shaped or sharp as skate blades. Send me sentences that flow from the top of the mountain, then roar over cascades. Let them shout, clear and frothy ‘til they stop for commas: rocks and pebbles that protect the stream from gushing. Please say what you mean. Words like water can become polluted too. Think of language, a gift crisp and clean. Long for great live words to reel in like fish. Fry them up, digest them, and be nourished. First published in ENGLISH JOURNAL.

Because Mayan women no longer weave chevrons in desert sunset threads because it is no longer useful. Because the snowy egret leaves the marsh forever. Because the people closest to me suffer. Because words are bread. Because writing it is as mapless as driving down back roads. Because without it my life is measured in paychecks. Because I love you and can’t tell you. Because I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to. Because there are so many questions nobody asks. Because someone wants to know. Published in THE ALLELUIA TREE and KORONE.

Protect yourself and your immigration case from fraud

Protéjase usted mismo y a su caso de inmigración del fraude

Immigration Law Specialist

Especialista en Derecho de Inmigración

By Attorney Sara Dady

As soon as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announces that the Deferred Action for Parents of U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents (DAPA) applications are available and sets a date for filing the applications, people will need competent legal help. It can be difficult to find good legal help for immigration cases in the U.S. Many people rely on recommendations from friends or family but too often those recommendations are not to attorneys or organizations accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) but to tax preparers or notaries. Public notaries are not licensed attorneys, have not received any legal training to be a notary, are not permitted to give legal advice and cannot charge money to help someone complete immigration applications. Wisconsin has a law (Chapter 137.01) designed to protect immigrants from having their hopes and bank accounts exploited by non-attorneys. Under Illinois and Wisconsin law, a notary is only authorized to witness signatures on documents. They are prohibited from implying that he or she is a licensed attorney or can practice law. They are prohibited from asking for or charging money to prepare immigration and citizenship applications. They are forbidden from using the phrase “notario”, “notarizaciones”, “notarizamos” or “notario publico” when advertising in Spanish. Any notary who advertises must include in their advertisement the following statement: “I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN WISCONSIN AND MAY NOT

GIVE LEGAL ADVICE OR ACCEPT FEES FOR LEGAL ADVICE.” A notary who violates this law can be charged with a crime, fined $10,000 or imprisoned depending on state law. No one should trust their immigration applications to a person who is violating this law. If you have paid a notary to help you complete immigration applications or see an advertisement in violation of the law, you should file a general consumer complaint with the state Attorney General’s office in Illinois or the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) for Wisconsin. The form is available online and in Spanish at illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/ consumers/filecomplaint.html or datcp.wi.gov. You may also be able to sue the notary in court for return of the money you paid. Be sure to consult with an attorney if you have been the victim of notary fraud to find out what remedies are available to you. To find an immigration attorney or accredited organization to assist you in filing for DAPA or DACA check out www.adminrelief.com or aila. org. Do not entrust your application to notaries who violate the law.

Tan pronto como los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglés) anuncie que hay solicitudes disponibles para las Acciones Aplazadas para Padres de Ciudadanos y Residentes Permanentes (DAPA, por sus siglas en inglés) y fije una fecha para presentar dichas solicitudes, la gente necesitará asesoría legal competente. Puede ser difícil encontrar buena asesoría legal para casos de inmigración en los Estados Unidos. Mucha gente confía en las recomendaciones de amigos y familiares, pero frecuentementeesas recomendaciones no son para recurrir a abogados u organizacionesautorizadas por el Consejo de Apelaciones de Inmigrantes (BIA, por sus siglas en inglés), sino para recurrir a asesores fiscales o notarios. Los notarios públicos no son abogados autorizados, no han recibido ningún entrenamiento legal para fungir como notarios, no están autorizados para dar asesoría legal y no pueden cobrar dinero por ayudar a alguien a llenar una solicitud de inmigración. Wisconsin tiene una ley (capítulo 137.01) diseñada para proteger a inmigrantes de que sus esperanzas y cuentas bancarias sean explotadas por personas que no son abogados. Bajo la ley de Illinois y Wisconsin, un notario solamente está autorizado a ser testigo en la firma

de documentos. Se les prohíbe insinuar que son abogados autorizados o que ejercen derecho. Se les prohíbe pedir o cobrar dinero por preparar solicitudes de inmigración o ciudadanía. Se les prohíbe utilizar las palabras «notario», «notarizaciones», «notarizamos» o «notario público» cuando se anuncian en español. Cualquier notario que se anuncie debe incluir en su anuncio la siguiente declaración: “No soy un abogado autorizado para ejercer derecho en Wisconsin y no puedo dar asesoría legal ni recibir pagos por asesoría legal”. El notario que viole esta ley, puede ser acusado de cometer un crimen, multado $10,000 o enviado a prisión, dependiendo de las leyes estatales. Nadie debiera confiarle sus solicitudes de inmigración a una persona que esté violando esta ley. Si le ha pagado a un notario para que le ayude a llenar solicitudes de inmigración o si viera un anuncio que viole la ley, debería presentar una queja de consumidor a la oficina del fiscal general estatal si se encuentra en Illinois o al ministerio de agricultura, comercio y protección del consumidor de Wisconsin (DATCP, por sus siglas en inglés) si se encuentra en Wisconsin. El formulario en español está disponible en línea en illinoisattorneygeneral. gov/consumers/filecomplaint.html o también en datcp.wi.gov . También podría ser capaz de demandar al notario en tribunales para que le sea devuelto el dinero que pagó. Asegúrese de consultarle a un abogado si ha sido víctima de fraude notarial, para poder averiguar qué soluciones hay disponibles para usted. Para encontrar un abogado de inmigración u organización autorizada que lo ayude a presentar sus solicitudes a DAPA o DACA, revise www.adminrelief.com o aila.org . No le confíe su solicitud a notarios que violen la ley.

Businesses, politicians and gov’t should follow junk email laws

Get out to vote out Corruption, April 7

By Paul Gorski Columnist

have been getting many junk emails from business and politicians. The goal of this column is to inspire residents to step and take action. I am now asking local businesses and politicians to take action and review their email policies as not to run afoul of federal law or anger local residents with junk email. The Federal CAN-SPAM Act establishes rules for who you may email and how those emails should be structured. I cannot explain the rules better than the act itself, so I quote the U.S. Federal Trade Commission website: ftc.gov/tips-advice/ business-center/guidance/can-spam-actcompliance-guide-business: Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $16,000, so non-compliance can be costly. But following the law isn’t complicated. Here’s a rundown of CAN-SPAM’s main requirements: Don’t use false or misleading header information. Your “From,” “To,” “Reply-To,” and routing information – including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person or business who initiated the message. Don’t use deceptive subject lines. The subject line must accurately reflect the content of the message. Identify the message as an ad. The law gives you a lot of leeway in how to do this, but you must disclose clearly and conspicuously that your message is an advertisement. Tell recipients where you’re located. Your message must include your valid physical postal address. This can be your current street address, a post office box you’ve registered with the U.S. Postal Ser vice, or a private mailbox you’ve registered with a commercial mail receiving agency established under Postal Service regulations. Tell recipients how to opt out of receiving future email from you. Your message must include a clear and conspicuous

explanation of how the recipient can opt out of getting email from you in the future. Craft the notice in a way that’s easy for an ordinary person to recognize, read, and understand. Creative use of type size, color, and location can improve clarity. Give a return email address or another easy Internet-based way to allow people to communicate their choice to you. You may create a menu to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to stop all commercial messages from you. Make sure your spam filter doesn’t block these opt-out requests. Honor opt-out requests promptly. Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your message. You must honor a recipient’s opt-out request within 10 business days. You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request. Once people have told you they don’t want to receive more messages from you, you can’t sell or transfer their email addresses, even in the form of a mailing list. The only exception is that you may transfer the addresses to a company you’ve hired to help you comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. Monitor what others are doing on your behalf. The law makes clear that even if you hire another company to handle your email marketing, you can’t contract away your legal responsibility to comply with the law. Both the company whose product is promoted in the message and the company that actually sends the message may be held legally responsible.

Examples and more information about the law are provided at the link at the beginning of this article. Happy emailing! Paul Gorski (paul@paulgorski.com) is a Cherry Valley Township resident who also authors the Tech-Friendly column seen in this newspaper.

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Sheldon Silver, former Speaker of the NY Assembly, was indicted in January on corruption charges. Regarding his case, Zephyr Teachout said, “Corruption exists when institutions and officials charged with serving the public serve their own ends. Under current law, campaign contributions are illegal if there is an explicit quid pro quo, and legal if there isn’t. But legal campaign contributions can be as bad as bribes in creating obligations. The corruption that hides in plain sight is the real threat to our democracy. Think of campaign contributions as the gateway drug to bribes. In our private financing system, candidates are trained to respond to campaign cash and serve donors’ interests. Politicians are expected to spend half their time talking to funders and to keep them happy. Given this context, it’s not hard to see how a bribery charge can feel like a technical argument instead of a moral one.” Representative Aaron Schock (IL-18) may feel his improprieties are mere technicalities as well. In announcing his resignation from Congress he said, “The constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself.” Wasn’t spending half your time fundraising a more concerning distraction? There are no more high standards. Nearly every member of Congress has a leadership PAC and these funds are used for virtually any purpose, including travel and concerts. We need comprehensive reform at all levels of government. This does not require amending the US Constitution. We can stop the bribery, whether the payout is through campaign cash today or a future lobbyist job. We can end secret money, mandating disclosure. We can create a system of citizen-funded campaigns, making viable the candidacies of those unwilling to kowtow to special interests. Here in Illinois we can’t make legislation by ballot measure, but we can generate awareness

about reform solutions and send a clear message to those with the power to implement reform. Please vote “Yes” April 7th on the anti-corruption advisory referendum in Winnebago and DeKalb Counties. Elizabeth Lindquist Represent.Us

Don’t fall for the Amtrak bait

Once again in Sunday’s Rockford Register Star an article was run regarding the money pit we have come to know as Amtrak. In this article, the writer (Chuck Sweeney) has chosen to put the blame on our local Republican legislators for failure of this project moving forward. He also states in one part of the article that the Union Pacific’s tracks and bridges across the Fox and Rock Rivers must be improved and a connecting track near Elgin be built to connect to Metra’s line. The cost is over $200 million and is for some reason, known to very few, the responsibility of the Illinois Department of Transportation. I say it this way because further on in the article he states “All passenger transportation, road and water-borne freight is heavily subsidized by government; only the nation’s freight railroads build, own and maintain their right’s of way.” So if the Transportation Department rebuilds bridges and builds a track connecting to Metra’s doesn’t that become a subsidy for Union Pacific’s company? Wasn’t this whole debacle a ploy by former Governor Quinn to get votes? Why isn’t it ever mentioned that in the first year of operation the line is expected to lose $1.75 million? Tickets are estimated to cost $46 per person round trip, or $184 for a family of four, seriously. So what do they do when they arrive in Chicago, beg for food and drink? This idea is Pollyannaish and should be scrapped. We had rail service once and it was terminated because of lack of riders, and with today’s “I need it now” consumers this isn’t going to fit. Lastly I will state that, if passenger rail were such a good thing, private enterprise would be all over it. They’re not, it isn’t. Jake Henry Rockford

Response

Special Editorial

City has worked in partnership with FOZ Jim Ryan Rockford City Adminstrator

e thank Friends of Ziock for their advocacy on historic preservation initiatives in the City of Rockford, and we applaud their efforts. We take exception to the commentary that we have been a “skeptical administration” when it comes to historic preservation initiatives. To the contrary, this Mayoral administration, as well as the City Council, have undertaken more proactive historic preservation measures than any other community in the State of Illinois. In fact, the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency has expressly stated that we are the leaders in the State of Illinois when it comes to historic preservation issues and projects. We pioneered the first-ever state historic tax credit legislation through the River Edge Community legislation, and since passage of this legislation, no other communities have completed-or have planned-more historic preservation projects than the City of Rockford. When we have reviewed a historic preservation project that has been fully vetted with respect to its ability to be achieved successfully, both financially and consistently with our long-term economic plans, we have moved those projects forward. As a City Council and Administration, we must always balance economic viability and special interests versus the overall public good and its consistency with City long-term plans and goals. We are proud of our record in pushing forward historic preservation projects in our community, and our record on historic preservation speaks for itself. We look forward to tackling future historic preservation projects to promote the proud history of the Rockford community, and look forward to working with our partners, including Friends of Ziock, to make those happen. Editor’s note: This is a response to an editorial published in the March 25 issue provided by the Friends of Ziock. You can find that editorial and more online at RockRiverTimes.com.

Response to City’s Proposal to Amend the Residential Quality Support Ordinance

Response to City’s Proposal to Amend the Resid

The Rockford Apartment Association is OPPOSED to the proposal to amend the Residential Quality Support Ordinance for the following reasons:

The Rockford Apartment Association is OPPOSED to the proposal to am 1) The proposal makes permanent the illegal change in language in the published version of the RQSO. Making that of language was an act of official misconduct. Failing to correct the language so it reads as it was approved thechange following reasons: is an endorsement of that illegal behavior. (documentation of the illegal language change is available on request) 2) The purpose for the RQSO is to respond to unruly behavior that sometimes occurs in rented property. The ordinance regulates a business activity. The city proposes expanding regulation imposed by the ordinance to require property owners to report to the city when they “let” a friend, family member, partner or other person live in their home or other property they own. This requirement would be imposed regardless if rent is paid. Regulating private use of personal residences was never the intent of the RQSO. This is an unprecedented overreach of government control over private property. The city has clearly lost site of the intended purpose for the RQSO.

3) During the presentation of the proposed amendments to the RQSO, City Attorney Patrick Hayes stated the standard of a chronic nuisance in the RQSO is too narrow because the crimes of disorderly conduct and offensive use of property are seldom enforced in Rockford. He stated the ordinance needed to be amended to cover more crimes; however, the proposed amendment makes no change in the standard for chronic nuisance. The language in the amendment is the same as the existing ordinance.

2) The purpose for the RQSO is to respond to unruly behavior that ordinance regulates a business activity. The city proposes expa require property owners to report to the city when they “let” a Disorderly conduct and offensive use of property have a wide range of applications.

to address much of the behavior that degrades quality of life. The problem we have in Rockford is the city’s failure to cite offenses that qualify. By permitting minor nuisance behavior the city encourages it.

CORNER

‘The law itself tests the limits that previous versions have not. While it may be constitutional, it certainly is trying to push the envelope on the reach of free exercise of religion.’

Such ordinances typically prohibit the discrimination employment, housing, education and public accommodations on the basis of a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The cities and counties in Indiana with these ordinances in effect are the City of Bloomington, the City of Evansville, the City of Indianapolis, Marion County, Monroe County, and the City of South Bend. What makes this law new and different is its application to disputes between private citizens. That is not to say that such laws could not be used in private matters, in fact, Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas all have similar provisions. Section 9 of IRFRA was written so as to allow for the application of the law in a lawsuit without the intervention of the government agency who drafted the legislation or ordinance whose application would be limited by IRFRA. Some may be wondering, why does this matter? To begin, New Mexico’s version of Section 9 largely resembles those found in the other states that have a similar provision allowing for their respective religious freedom legislations to be applied as a defense in a judicial or administrative proceeding: “A person whose free exercise of religion has been restricted by a violation of the New Mexico Religious Freedom Restoration Act may assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against a government agency . . .” NM ST § 28-22-1-4. The decision in Elane Photography, LLC v. Willock, 2013-NMSC-040, 309 P.3d 53 cert. denied, 134 S. Ct. 1787, 188 L. Ed. 2d 757 (2014) stated that the government was a nec-

essary party in order to be exempt from the law the religious freedom act. This rationale would likely apply to similarly drafted acts in the other states mentioned above. Section 9 as written in the IRFRA obviates the requirement that the government be a party to a proceeding. By way of background, typically a challenge in the application of law is done by requesting declaratory relief at the state or federal level asking the court to clarify how and should to apply a certain law, given that the person making the request has standing (i.e. is affected by the law) to do so. Thus, the government agency may respond and take a position to articulate how its law should be applied. In the same vein, the government can defend the constitutionality of the law if that is raised in the lawsuit as well. The overall point is that the government who drafted the affected law has an opportunity to come in a defend its application. This matters because Section 9 would allow a challenge to a law or ordinance between two parties without making the government a necessary party. To use a contemporary hypothetical, if a South Bend patron sued a hotel for discriminatory treatment under South Bend’s human rights ordinance and the hotel claimed as a defense that it was asserting its religious right to refuse service to that patron, that lawsuit would typically and necessarily involve the City of South Bend as a party so it could advocate for or against the application of IRFRA to its local ordinance. While a Court could not prevent the City from intervening in the case, my opinion is that the legislation would bypass the need to have South Bend in such a case to defend the application of its own ordinance.

The timing factor

INTENT

This thing is an anti-discrimination bill because it prohibits governmental discrimination against Christians in the state of Indiana.” The Heritage Institute’s Ryan T. Anderson used this messaging to try to take on Apple CEO Tim Cook, who wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post this week calling these so-called “religious freedom” laws dangerous. According to Anderson, “the only person in favor of discrimination in this debate is Tim Cook.” As one of his examples, Anderson claims, “It is Tim Cook who would have the government discriminate against these citizens, have the government coerce them into helping to celebrate a same-sex wedding and penalize them if they try to lead their lives in accordance with their faith.” Using as his example Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman — who was fined last week for refusing to serve a same-sex couple — Anderson reiterates the distortion: “This debate has nothing to do with refusing to serve gays simply because they’re gay, and this law wouldn’t protect that. But should the government force a 70-year-old grandmother to violate her beliefs? Should the government coerce her into helping to celebrate a same-sex wedding?” Anderson

later highlights Aaron and Melissa Klein, bakery owners who also face fines for refusing service to a same-sex couple, as somehow another example of how RFRA is not about discrimination. He echoed these talking points on MSNBC last night as well, offering the caveat that nothing guarantees a vendor will win if they defend their discrimination with RFRA. The Family Research Council has been making the media rounds as well. In addition to defending Pence and the law on their website, both Tony Perkins and Peter Sprigg have taken to cable news this week to defend their positions. Sprigg went toe-to-toe with CNN’s Chris Cuomo Monday morning, where he acknowledged that wedding vendors trying to discriminate could use the law to defend themselves, but like Anderson, he tried to couch that in the idea that they wouldn’t necessarily win. The only thing these Christian wedding vendors object to, Sprigg suggested, “is using their expressive abilities to communicate a message that they disagree with by saying that marriage can be a union of two men or two women,” adding that it’s “forcing them to do something that violates their faith.” On Fox News Monday night, Perkins contin-

discriminatory: “A wedding vendor who chooses not to service a same-sex wedding is not discriminating against a person’s being. Instead, the vendor believes that material cooperation in a particular event encroaches on his conscience… To give relief to a particular wedding vendor who feels uncomfortable servicing a gay wedding isn’t in any way comparable to state-sponsored discrimination… To require a wedding vendor to service a same-sex wedding is not eliminating discrimination against the gay couple. It’s coercing the wedding vendor.” Walker is simultaneously admitting that the law is designed to allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT people while denying that it’s actually “discrimination” that’s taking place. Radio host Bryan Fischer, formerly of the American Family Association, took the Christian self-victimization a step further. “This law is not something that provides for discrimination against gays,” he explained. “It is something that prevents discrimination against Christians…

Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this law to its opponents is that it comes right after Indiana’s very public and very unsuccessful bid to ban gay marriage. Indiana’s own attorney general went state to state submitting amicus briefs in support of laws that would prevent state-sanctioned gay marriage. The state’s arguments at the 7th Circuit were nearly laughed out of the courtroom and were called out for what they were: discrimination based on personal views. Proponents of the IRFRA seem to gloss over this aspect even though the proponents of this bill were the same who had tried to ban gay marriage through Indiana’s Constitution. The exasperation could probably summed up as: “Look, if you hate the LGBT community, so be it . . . but don’t act like this law has nothing to do with it.” Indeed Governor Pence repeatedly ducked questions in regards to the perceived intentions of the bill on ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopouls, saying, “Well there’s been shameless rhetoric about my state and about this law and about its intention all over the internet. People are trying to make it about one particular issue. And now you’re doing that, as well.” This was the second of four times Pence was asked to clarify the intentions of the bill. He refused to despite earlier claims in the weekend that he was “determined to clarify” supposed distortions of the bill in the media.

What is the potential longview here?

This law is designed to cast a wide net in terms of those who might claim a religious

objection and then carry out that objection through multiple levels of litigation. On top of that, Section 9 allows for such litigation to proceed without the inclusion of, for example, the City government if it was a human rights ordinance at issue. We should all be able agree that this is one of the few remaining grey areas of LGBT rights. It is unknown how litigation would play out. What happens if Indiana law says that one can make a religious objection based on the laws here as written? Would other states follow suit in their legislation or case law? As usual, it seems the truth of IRFRA lies somewhere in the middle. Those against the bill may cite that 1) it may be applied more broadly than any of its predecessors at the state and federal level; 2) if properly based on religious grounds, it will override human rights ordinances that had protected LGBT rights; and 3) it coincidentally comes on the heels of Indiana’s effort to combat gay marriage. Those in favor of the bill may argue that its predecessors, particularly those found in Texas and New Mexico have been around, constitutionally applied, and that the ire felt by the State is mere propaganda in light of the fact that these laws have been in existence elsewhere for some time. The principal legal argument in favor the law can be found here. The law itself though tests the limits that previous versions have not. While it may be constitutional, it certainly is trying to push the envelope on the reach of free exercise of religion. Matt Anderson is a civil trial lawyer with Wruble & Associates in South Bend, Indiana. He has practiced on both sides of insurance and personal injury law in Illinois and Indiana for the better part of ten years. Reach him via email at matt@wrublelaw.com. ued to falsely conflate Indiana’s RFRA with laws by the same name in other states, adding, “Let’s be very clear what RFRA is. This is a shield to protect one’s belief from government. It is not a sword to be used against anyone else and it cannot be… This is only a defense and it is not an iron-clad defense at that.” Perkins went on to describe the notion that some people want to “force people to engage in a behavior such as weddings — photographers, florists. In a civil society, what we would say is, ‘Oh, you don’t want to service me? Fine, I’ll go next store. I’ll go down the street.’” Borrowing a rather mockable talking point from Mike Huckabee, he added, “Who would fathom the idea of someone going into a Kosher deli and demanding a ham sandwich?” Despite conservatives all asserting that RFRA is designed to allow businesses to refuse to offer products and services to same-sex couples that they offer to others, Pence continued to defend the law as not being discriminatory in a Wall Street Journal op-ed posted Monday evening. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s The Onion that has one of the most accurate headlines this week: “Indiana Governor Insists New Law Has Nothing To Do With Thing It Explicitly Intended To Do.”

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of April 1-7, 2015

This Week: The highly charged full moon lunar eclipse in Libra (April 4) could create a bit of an upset, however it provides clarity at the same time. With Libra, the emphasis will be on relationships, romantic as well as family, and friendships. Release is the key word here. Many of you may find you are letting go of certain individuals that no longer serve a purpose in your life. Perhaps they even create more conflict in it than is worthy of your time and energy. It’s like a good spring cleaning. There is no room for this frustration in your heart when it just continues to take up free rent in your head. Aries (March 21 to April 19) — The missing puzzle pieces fall into place this week when you get together with a long-term associate and begin to compare notes. It’s not as though any action has

to be taken or any repercussions will follow as a result of this new found source of information. However, it will provide an explanation for the erratic behavior of another. This ends up being extremely helpful to this individual that you care deeply about.You know they are being unfairly targeted and you have the ability to protect them from future deception. Gratitude will follow Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Romantic elements become tedious early on this week as you try to express your side of the story. This may not be the best time to really indulge in a long drawn out dialogue, or attempt to frame up something that may need a little more time to simmer on the stove. Sometimes we feel the need to get something off our chest so badly we don’t even consider the outcome or the proper timing to do so. Impetuous rants usually end up falling upon deaf ears Taurus. Be kind and rewind. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Even though it appears that someone within your orbit is not being taken to task for their lack of commitment or pulling their fair share of the weight, this is being noticed. The universal wheels of justice move slow

and steady and eventually the gavel does come down hard. Meanwhile, your dedication is being recognized and there is a glimmer of gratitude arriving this week. The rest will be noticeable when summer arrives as you get to cherry-pick your tasks and experience a little favoritism from the powers that be. Enjoy Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Your workload will begin to pick up at this time so make sure you’re rested and ready to step up to the plate now. In personal relationships you may find that the more you try to push an issue the more resistance you will face. Sit back and allow another to come to you with an issue of importance. By the week’s end the perfect opportunity will present itself to resolve this conflict or upsetting situation for them. Get out and about and catch up with friends and family. This will do you a world of good Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Good news arrives regarding a career opportunity in the weeks to come so keep your chin up. You’ve been a little confused with this hot and cold behavior from another and you’re not sure exactly how to read this situation. Try not to take this personal, they are finding their way through a difficult spot and they will have some resolution with this sensitive matter shortly. Midweek may be a good time to lay low. This will help you avoid conflict Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A friend can help you expand your workload when they ask you for some assistance with a child or a pet. You are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel for a legal issue and financial gain now. There is no way this will be delayed any longer. Decide where your priorities are with your long-term financial elements and goals. You may need to take some time away from the home front to clear your head a bit.This will charge up your batteries and you can start the new week with crystal clarity Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You’re beginning to understand your loved ones erratic behavior better now than in the recent past. Extra TLC is needed to help them through a difficult time.

Perhaps a weekend away would do the trick or a night out on the town. In either case this will be recognized as a giant step forward with your friendships or romantic sectors at this time. Finances are on the upswing, and referrals for business are spreading like wildfire Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Let’s say you’re crazy about opera music, but you also know that your friends or family may not be crazy about it. Try not to force your ideas down other people’s throats at this time. It’s okay that we all have different points of view, and that needs to be respected with all of your loved ones. A pleasant weekend with family or a loved one reveals some truths about a long standing mystery. You no longer feel as though you are on the outside looking in. You have enough information to weigh and balance out all matters without having to chose one side or another. A positive turn of events are arriving now. You can see that this was definitely worth the wait Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — This long drawn out legal or emotional issue that continues to test your patience is about to complete itself during the month of April. This makes room for time to be spent on more productive emotional and financial activities that enhance your personal lifestyle. Others are considering you for a job opportunity or an upgrade in your current status. You will find that you have found your niche in life and that your dreams are coming to fruition now. All of those efforts did have value after all Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You’re seeing progress with your physical activity and your home environment now. This is a time of celebration and determination. Expect the universe to support your dreams, goals and ambitions. Understand that the powers that be will not allow you to fail. You have support from above and below as a special spirit will be joining you shortly. You will learn a tremendous amount from this little being Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Back off and away from an agitated individual this week. You can’t help them until they are ready to help themselves. You have better avenues to focus your time and energy on at this time. Once you see that they are in a place to hear what you have to say then calmly lay out the game plan. The weekend turns out to be a very productive time frame for family and friends Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) —With this full Moon you will have the hidden advantage when it comes to love and sexual activity.Your magnetic charm will sooth the savage beast. Once you’re able to see what’s really going on with a friend or family member. You will be in a better place to help them resolve a problem. Be kind patient and helpful at this time. This will be recognized by another as a job well done Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

Travel like an Architect

Take your kids on vacation during affordable dates

By Susan Belles e’ve all heard the saying in real estate - the value is about location, location and location. Well when it comes to the price of travel it’s about the date, the date and the date. Choosing the right date can be the difference between affordable and not affordable. This week’s column is by our daughter Susan A. Belles, who missed about 40 days of her sophomore year in high school so she could go to Europe and South America! School was never my thing, I just wanted to be at ballet class. Sitting still and listening to the teacher for hours on end never really sat well with me. I am a different kind of learner, I learn by experience. I had a special opportunity; my parents took me out of school on several occasions to travel with them. Looking back I have realized that aside from all the cultural exposure, traveling provides a new way of learning and applying core academic lessons to real life. Ever since my travel experiences, learning in school has become more exciting. I am able to apply my experiences around the world to what I learn time after time. During our trip down the Amazon River, I learned about astrology; in the southern hemisphere, you see different stars and constellations. Sounds pretty obvious, but it’s not something I ever would have thought about

unless I had been there. You also get a lot of mental math practice while you’re traveling. Especially if you’re trying to find great souvenirs on a student budget. Every time you see something you want, you have to calculate how much it would cost in U.S. Dollars to see if just maybe you have enough. Of course I wanted it all, so that was a quite a bit of math practice. Depending on where you travel, you may also learn about the metric system. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve thought “90 MPH speed limit?! It doesn’t feel like we are going that fast….” Then I realize that the sign is actually kilometers per hour. When the taxi driver goes to fill up on gas and he fills his car with liters, (at $4 a liter) not gallons. Everything is not the same everywhere. Overall, there are many lessons to be learned, and taking your kids out of school is not bad Parenting. Thank you Mama and Papa for all the “great life experiences,” (what the person interviewing me at the University of Illinois said I had) great conversation topics. Parents if you are thinking about this, watch for more from me. I missed so much school and learned so much more because of it. These are just a few of the things I have learned. I will share more in the future. Susan Belles, now 21 is a student with a 4.0 GPA at Chicago City Colleges. She teaches & helps with

costumes at Ballet Chicago, has an Etsy website where she sells handmade leg warmers for dancers, and she does freelance work house sitting for people with dogs when they are out of town. Rob and Lynn Belles are owners of Belles Firm of Architecture a local professional design firm, and the only real Architect Travel

Agents known of. They are seasoned travelers with family and adult only international travel experience. They are teaching others what they know about traveling as a family, a couple, and as business owners who stay connected with their clients, even while they are traveling abroad.

Mr. Green Car

Test drive: the 2015 Ford F-150 By Allen Penticoff Columnist

his week’s column will look at an American staple – the 2015 Ford-150 pickup truck. The F-150 has a long pedigree dating back to the F-1 of 1948. Ford’s F series has been in continuous production since then and lays claim to being the best selling vehicle in the United States for 32 years and 42 years as the best selling pickup truck. In 1953 the F1, F2, and F3 models (1/2 ton, ¾ ton and 1 ton) trucks became the F-100, F-250 and F-350 respectively and until 1980 when the F-100 was dropped and the F-150 which was essentially the same, but somewhat heavier duty, became the lightest pickup available from Ford. In 1959 Ford began offering in-house four-wheel drive versions of their trucks and in 1965 their famous front “Twin I-beam suspension” appeared. This suspension was standard on the F-150 rear-wheel drive trucks until 1996. The F-250 & F-350 still use this suspension on RWD trucks. 1986 was the last year an F-150 could be had with the 3-speed

manual column shift, popularly known as “three on a tree.” It was also the first year that buyers could opt for power windows, mirrors and locks. We’ll now zoom ahead to 2015, which marks the beginning of the 13th generation of the F series Ford truck. And it is this generation that has attracted Mr. Green Car’s attention. The new truck, has a very high content of dent resistant aluminum in the body and the frame is 78 percent high strength steel (up from 23 percent) adding up to a total weight reduction of 700 pounds. Combined with the smallest engine, the 2.7 liter turbocharged EcoBoost – the Regular Cab F-150 can turn in a very impressive 19 city/26 highway mpg. It is available in several body styles and trim levels to suit many tastes and budgets. The base price for the two-door “Regular Cab” is $25,420. There is no upcharge for any of the four engines in any body style. Most popular seems to be the four-door crew cab with short bed as a family hauler like I tested at Bryden Ford in Durand, Illinois. Sales representative Nate Adams helped with questions. Bryden

Ford did not have a 2.7 liter EcoBoost 2015 F-150 for me to drive, but I was allowed to drive a 2014 model with the 3.5 EcoBoost engine. It’s trip meter showed 24,000 miles with a mpg average of 14.2. If you want the super gas mileage, you’ll need the all aluminum 2015 and the small EcoBoost engine to get it, but all models will benefit in mpg gains from the loss of weight – up to 20 percent. The 2014 I drove and the 2015 I inspected on the lot have much in common. They both require a climb to get into the cabin, but once you are there, they are enormously comfortable. Front and rear seats are comfortable and can be had with a bench front seat that holds three adults with good legroom. The center of the backrest folds down to be an armrest/compartment. Rear seat legroom is big enough to conduct a hockey game. The two-door pickup trucks have no back seat, but a full 8-foot length bed. While the “extended cab” with small rear doors and seats can have either a 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot cargo bed. While I question the utility of the small cargo bed – most folks don’t haul things in their trucks anyway, so it doesn’t matter to them. They are good for towing however; the 2.7 engine F-150 is rated at 8,500 pounds towing capacity and 2,250 pound maximum payload. Electric power steering and a peppy engine made for quick acceleration with precise and car-like handling. The F-150 did not feel ponderous. The 2015s will be even better on acceleration, handling and load hauling due to the reduced weight. Venti-

lation controls were excellent. Knobs and buttons are convenient, with many on the steering wheel. Instrumentation was bright and easy to read analog displays with digital secondary information. Infotainment comes via the Ford Sync system. Trucks are about power. Here are the present options for the F-150 ( L=liter, EB=turbocharged EcoBoost, NA=normally aspirated and horsepower/torque): 2.7L V6 EB 325/375; 3.5L V6 EB 365/420; 3.5L V6 NA 282/253; 5.0L V8 NA 365/420. The standard transmission is a six-speed automatic. Note the smallest engine is quite powerful and should meet most people, stuff and towing needs. This long lasting truck is built in newly refurbished facilities in Dearborn, Michigan and Kansas City, Missouri. Over 800,000 were built in 2014. The Kogod School of Business of American University, Washington D.C. found the F-150 and Chevrolet Corvette to have tied for “The Most American” ratings of 87.5 out of 100 points in their 2014 Kogod Made in America Ratings (search this for the full rating of vehicles and how they are judged). Errata: In my last column (written with limited internet access) I said that Nissan had an assembly plant in Smyrna, Mississippi. It is in Smyrna, Tennessee. They also have a U.S. assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi (explaining my confusion). Nissan has community education assistance programs in both areas.

State

Higher Education task force backtracks on cuts From Illinois News Network ilnews.org

The Illinois Board of Higher Education proposes an efficiency task force to review how to better use available resources, but only after implementing the proposed budget for the next fiscal year. Dr. James Applegate, the Executive Director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, says he put the idea of an efficiency and effectiveness initiative to the Governor’s office. Applegate says the system would use metrics to determine the effectiveness of various programs, but during a Senate Appropriations Committee last week he says there are still immediate concerns. “Can we still become more efficient and effective despite all we’ve done to accommodate a billion dollar cut? Yes we can. But we can’t efficient out way to where Illinois needs to be.” Applegate says the proposed reductions to higher education would hinder operations with the state’s public universities, making an efficiency initiative difficult to implement. Governor Bruce Rauner’s budget for the IBHE includes a five-point-five-million dollar reduction in programs the Governor’s office says fall short in taxpayer return on investment. The Governor’s office says programs like Grow Your Own Teacher, medical grants for specific fields and other grants subsidizing specific academic centers are no longer affordable.

Gov. proposed cuts based on Board recommendations

IBHE objects to the proposed eliminations even though they were the ones that proposed the cuts. Dr. Applegate decried the proposed eliminations but Republican Senator Dale Righter says things have to be cut. “For you to testify that ‘hey, we’re going to take a hit, we’re going to take some cuts’ is perfectly legitimate. But let’s be careful about criticizing the elimination of certain grant programs when it was your agency said ‘you know what, if somethings gotta go, these will be near the top of the list,’ that’s a little tough.” Righter read a list of the scholarship programs available for some higher education employees the Board itself provided for possible elimination. Applegate confirmed the list but said the list was made in the face of proposed cuts. “If we get cuts, I guarantee you we will make hard decisions about where to make those cuts to have the least impact on our students.” Governor Rauner’s proposed budget reduces IBHE’s budget by more than $5 million, however the Governor keeps money for the Monetary Award Program the same. The IBHE says they want to see an increase of $50 million in the MAP fund for the next fiscal year.

Board hearing opens up min. wage debate

The Governor’s proposed budget for higher education will mean less university employment, according to the state’s largest employees union, but the union says there wouldn’t be layoffs with the increased employment cost from a possible minimum wage increase. During the Senate Appropriations hearing last week, Joanna WebbGauvin, Legislative Director of AFSCME Council 31, says they oppose the proposed cuts, claiming the reductions will lead to layoffs. But Republican State Senator Jim Oberweis says layoffs would also happen if a possible increase in the state’s minimum wage passes. Oberweis says the minimum wage increase will also add to university costs. “I understand you’ve got talking points. I understand you’ve got a position you’ve got to maintain that, but you have to be realistic too. You can’t possibly argue logically or mathematically that that increase in cost

won’t absolutely, necessarily, in a given budget result in layoffs.” AFSCME’s Webb-Gauvin disagreed and said that the Universities could absorb the increased cost of a possible minimum wage increase by limiting the number of hours an employee works among other tweaks, but Webb-Gauvin says the proposed cuts to higher education will be drastic. There are several competing proposals for a statewide minimum wage increase pending in the General Assembly.

Bill bars public funds for graduation speakers

A measure in the Illinois House would bar public universities from using public dollars to secure a graduation speaker. The measure from Republican Representative Reginald Phillips and co-sponsored by Representative Jeanne Ives says if a public university does pay for a graduation speaker with public funds, the amount paid will be taken out the state’s operating aid by the Comptroller. That doesn’t mean there can’t be any costly speakers for

the commencement addresses. The bill would allow for private funds to pay for speakers at public universities. The measure passed out of a House committee last week.

Upcoming appropriations hearings

Despite having the next several weeks off from being in Springfield, legislators will still have some work ahead dealing with the upcoming budget. In the House Appropriations-Elementary and Secondary Education Committee Tuesday afternoon lawmakers will hear about several programs including After School Matters, Agriculture Education, Career and Tech. programs and more. Wednesday morning lawmakers in the House Appropriations-Human Services Committee will take public comments on the Human Services budget. Then Thursday, Senators will get a chance to hear about budget requests for the state’s Toll Highway Authority, Comptroller, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer and several universities. All three meetings this week are in Chicago.

Soccer

MLS: The cost of $100 million The possibilities are endless for the US, so long as the money is spent right By Jon Townsend These Football Times

remember sitting in my British Literature class at the clueless age of 16 and reading George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, 1984. Admittedly, I think the book should be required reading for anyone who thinks they understand the landscape of American soccer. Years later, one of many of the book’s loaded lines aptly applies to the reality of American soccer discussions, arguments, and narratives that continue to divide people who love the game into fractious subcultures all vying for their argument to be taken as gospel. The line, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” is the party slogan for Ingsoc, the English Socialist Party. Was George Orwell onto something? According to findings from Forbes and Businessweek, franchise fees in Major League Soccer have increased at a rate of 18% since its inaugural season. In 2012, the franchise fee for the Montreal Impact was approximately $40 million. The franchise fee for New York City FC was valued at $100 million in mid-2014 and 2015. The average value of a franchise in Major League Soccer is approximately $103 million, reflecting an increase of 175% over a span of the last five years according to Forbes. It’s not hard to see the financial gain the owner-operators in Major League Soccer covet and vehemently protect. MLS valuations conducted by Forbes in 2008 stated, “The league had just 14 teams that

season, with the Seattle Sounders joining the following year on an expansion fee of $30 million. The average MLS team was worth $37 million and losing money. The LA Galaxy, the league’s most valuable asset, had an enterprise value of $100 million.” As of 2013, half of the league’s teams make a profit, taking into account (pardon the pun) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Seattle Sounders were valued at $175 million, a 483% increase over its 2009 sale price. According to Major League Soccer commissioner, Don Garber, the franchises in MLS lose over $100 million annually with losses being attributed stadium expenditures, player acquisitions, and “league infrastructure” (which includes the $30 million the league allocates towards development). Investment and seemingly unabated expansion are goals for Major League Soccer. In terms of stadium plans, MLS wants the check first, and then it wants the stadium blueprints and plans. But first it wants the check, despite a 20-year history of some teams playing in giant NFL-grade stadiums, on shoddy artificial turf, or in the case of New York City FC, on a converted baseball field. MLS wants control. It expects a “soccer-specific” stadium that seats at least 20,000 people as such structures allow teams to control the various revenue streams such as parking fees, ticket sales, advertising and marketing displays, rental

opportunities, and concessions. Of course, there are exceptions and workarounds, so long as MLS receives the exorbitant expansion fee and believes the chosen market strong enough to consistent growth, the league will belay the immediate “requirement” for a soccer-specific stadium as evidenced by a team playing in Yankee Stadium. This is the path forward in the eyes of Major League Soccer and the United States Soccer Federation, which fully supports MLS to the point one wonders what entity is actually making decisions on policy and overall direction. Surprisingly unbeknownst to many outside the United States, the soccer structure does not reward development. The system is closed, rife with roadblocks and alternatives that delay or halt maximum player development as promises of a college scholarship or a reasonable paycheck in the corporate workforce pull many away from the path to professional soccer. Development Academies are placed in locations of relative affluence to ensure a steady stream of parents with large checkbooks can absorb the costs associated with the outfitting, playing, training, and travelling for their son to be part of the academy. That is the reality. Now, I invite you to imagine alternatives. One is conventional and has been done before – and the other, well, let’s just say it’s ambitious and fun to consider. What if there was another way to spend $100 million on a true soccer club in the United States? What if I told you the sport was bigger than Major League Soccer in the United States? The commonly-accepted narrative, which reads more like a company line, is that in order for the sport to grow, Major League

Soccer must lead the way. The reality, however, is the majority of the American soccer market prefers the version of the game played abroad. Make no mistake, Major League Soccer is here to stay and it intends to call the plays from its amorphous rulebook, but there could be radical alternatives available should one come to possess $100 million by hook or by crook. The first option is the North American Soccer League with its significantly lower expansion franchise fees. The NASL is also free of many of the rules and constraints that MLS places on its franchises such as draft system, salary caps, unrealistic free agency conditions, centralized league controls of media, and complex player allocation rules to name a few. However, what is seen by those paying attention to Major League Soccer’s expansion trends and plans is the readying of markets for Major League Soccer by the North American Soccer League. Even if a team in NASL had $100 million, the likelihood, for now, remains that it would eventually make the profitable move to Major League Soccer to solidify a greater return on investment in the advent of the upcoming television deal and in the absence of the possibility of being relegated no matter how disastrous a season a franchise experiences. The second, more radical option would be to invest the $100 million into an independent and possibly rogue club with no affiliation with Major League Soccer, the North American Soccer League, or the United Soccer League (formerly USL PRO). The reality is this club could be an amateur club and take part in the U.S. Open Cup (America’s

The Rock River Times | April 1-7, 2015 | version of the FA Cup). With $100+ million at its disposal, it’s plausible this club could defy the system, so to speak, by attracting the best available talent it could afford – players who would likely be paid more than the majority in Major League Soccer. The club could even invest in its academy the same amount as Major League Soccer invests across all its franchise academies (incidentally, this is considered a “loss” in MLS). A stadium deal might not be an initial necessity as the club wishes to forgo a costheavy and lengthy stadium development deal and litigation process since it has learned from the pitfalls of teams that are candidates for

to be told what to do with their money from a league. These investors see in this sovereign club an opportunity to make a splash in many of world soccer’s lucrative industries. In an open market, sponsorship deals are forged, revenue can be streamlined to manage and maintain both capital and operational expenditures. Descending deeper down the rabbit hole of possibilities, perhaps this club can acquire the type of player talented of making a deep run in the U.S. Open Cup and possibly winning it. Instead of rigorous league play, this team is capable of scheduling 38 “friendlies” with teams across North and Central America, in Europe

Money talks and this club happens to be savvy enough to purchase and maintain a location for an academy, pay qualified coaches a livable wage to develop talent identified by a paid scouting network. Family income isn’t a factor at the academy and players admitted into this academy are included based on ability, learning capacity, and their potential to become professional players to play at in the senior team one day or sold for a profit, which is reinvested directly into said club’s structure. As part of this wild experiment, a club with the freedom to invest its money freely could attract further investment from local, national and international businesses that don’t want

These markets all love soccer and might just jump at the chance to see a self-assembled, autonomous American club team come and take on its clubs. Should teams wish to travel to play this rogue club, a venue would be rented with game day profits allocated accordingly. And the craziest part of this whole thing might just be the lack of league standings for a jetsetter team opting for the route of adventure. The business plan may be seen as aggressive – and it is - but the model isn’t new. Such a globetrotter approach has deep roots in American soccer’s history as teams used to travel across the Atlantic to tour and compete with Ameri-

The foundational history and the current state of the American game has been fractured by a history of in-fighting between rival closed leagues and a competitive sporting landscape that still views the world’s game as something other than American. There’s an absence of a true soccer culture that represents the unique cultures that comprise the melting pot of the United States. Imagine a team touring the world, showcasing the relentless pursuit of footballing excellence the way the established teams abroad do so on American soil. As outrageous as it may seem to those who only subscribe to the directive of Major League Soccer, the game is bigger than the league attempting steer the sport in whatever direction it believes is best-suited not for the sport, but for itself. The game is more than something that is shoehorned into a mold, rebranded, and packaged as the solitary path for a nation by Major League Soccer. People will continue to operate on the tenterhooks of trepidation so as to not disturb the “progress”, but the reality is Major League Soccer - which aims to be “a top-five league by 2022” - has yet to produce a single world class player (rest assured, it intends to produce its own Lionel Messi according to its propaganda machine), doesn’t allow the complete freedom of movement of its labor force within the league, and is yet to pay them on a competitive scale in comparison to the alternatives inside and outside the industry (unless the league deems a player marketable and talented enough to justify a hefty wage). Some are convinced there is only one path to the summit of the game. Imagine having the courage to dare to think of an alternative that will be considered maddening, confronted with doubt, and labeled blasphemous. And perhaps there’s a reason that the line “In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act,” is truly Orwellian. The truth is George Orwell was right.

Cubs hope for Sunday resurrection By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

o Chicago Cubs fans see the irony in the fact that the team opens their 2015 season this Sunday? Not only is it Opening Night, it also just so happens to be Easter, the Christian holiday representing resurrection from the dead. Seems somewhat appropriate to me. Chicago opens their season with a three game home stand against last year’s Central Division Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis won the division with a 90-72 record. The Cubs finished dead last in the division, 17 games behind the Redbirds with a 73-89 record. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. The two teams will take Monday off before resuming the series with another 7:05 p.m. start on Tuesday. They’ll wrap things up with a 1:20 p.m. game on Wednesday. Chicago travels to Colorado on Thursday for a three game series with the Rockies starting on Friday afternoon at 3:10 p.m. After their series with Chicago, the Cardinals go on the road to face the Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs are not the same team they were last year. The biggest difference being their manager. Rick Renteria will no longer be calling the signals from the bench. He was replaced during the off season by veteran Joe Maddon. John Mailee and Eric Hinske take over the hitting coach and assistant hitting coaching jobs from Bill Mueller and Mike Brumley. The most notable on the field difference will be in the Cubs’ battery. Former Boston Red Sox star Jon Lester was brought to the north side to help shore up the Cubs’ pitching staff. Catcher Miguel Montero joins the team after spending the last few years with the Arizona Diamondbacks. One player that was with the team last season and will be back again this year with bigger and better expectations, is slugging first baseman, Anthony Rizzo. In 2014 Rizzo knocked in 78 runs and homered 32 times. Cubs’ fans and coaches are expecting those numbers to rise again in 2015. It’s a new season and a new beginning. I’m looking forward to hearing four words this Sunday, “Happy Easter” and “Play Ball”!

Stop comparing Carlos Rodon to Kris Bryant By Ethan Spalding The Catbird Seat

ome award season in November, there is a pretty reasonable chance Chicago will sweep the MLB Rookie Of The Year awards, with mega prospects Kris Bryant, Carlos Rodon, and Jorge Soler all having legitimate chances to produce at the highest level in 2015. For at least the first couple weeks of the season, however, two of these players will be in AAA. Earlier today, the Cubs announced they have reassigned Bryant to minor league camp, and the White Sox all but confirmed that Rodon will start the league at AAA Charlotte. This was, of course, met with a windfall of reaction throughout baseball twitter, with hot takes flaring on both sides. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or, for your health, avoid stressful arguments about sports- props to you if this is the case), you’re probably aware of the issues surrounding Bryant’s demotion. The near-consensus top prospect in baseball coming off a monstrous full season in the minors, Bryant has demoted to AAA despite having absolutely nothing left to prove with the stick in the minors. If you believe the Cubs, this is to work on defense, if you have any critical thinking skills, you realize this is to manipulate his service time- despite being worthy of a big league promotion on skills and production, Bryant will be held down to keep him under team control through 2022. On the surface, of course, there are many similarities between this and Rodon’s current position. Rodon, like Bryant, is likely a (pretty significant) upgrade over the incumbents at the backend of the White Sox rotation. Rodon has performed up to expectations in spring, and the White Sox would also stand to gain a year of control by keeping Rodon in the minors for more than 12 days. Beyond that, however, there are a multitude of stark differences illustrated below that makes these comparisons faulty:

Professional Experience

This is probably the most superficial disparity in factors surrounding these decisions, however,

it still has a good amount of import. While Bryant has over 700 professional plate appearances under his belt, Rodon has 24.1 IP above the college level. This doesn’t necessarily change how they project for 2014 (Rodon could not possibly have had much more experience as a 2014 draftee), it certainly changes arguments surrounding the players. Bryant has more than proven himself in the minors while Rodon has not done anything close to that. This difference certainly affects how mutual agent Scott Boras is approaching this discussion.

Major League Readiness

With an abstract definition of “ready”, I think that both Bryant and Rodon are ready to contribute as soon as needed for their respective teams. Rodon, though, has a part of his skillset that legitimately needs work- the changeup. While his fastball and slider/cutter/slutter combination may be able to get hitters out at the highest level, his lack fo refined change up would limit his ultimate upside, and trying to refine it at the highest level could be detrimental both to the 2015 White Sox and Rodon’s career. Bryant, on the other hand, does not have nearly a significant aspect of his game that needs work, even if his defense needs work. Bryant has been seen as still a solid defensive third baseman, and even if it could improve, working on it at the MLB level would presumably be significantly less likely to stunt his growth than attempting to refine a thrid pitch (I admit, this is a bit of conjecture on my part, but I think there’s a major difference here).

The Incumbents

Kris Bryant will presumably be replacing Mike Olt at third base. Mike Olt is really, really bad. As in, 8th-worst-strikeout-rate-of-the-modern-era bad. Aside from two year old scouting reports, there is little to suggest he’s worthy of

a major league job, and the Cubs will presumably show their agreement with this when they replace him with Bryant early in the year. John Danks and Hector Noesi, on the other hand, while bad, aren’t that bad- both are somewhere between replacement level and passable fifth starter. There’s also an important quandary here that doesn’t exist with the Cubs in deciding who of the two to bounce from the rotation. Given comments from Don Cooper (who certainly is one to be trusted on pitching) on Hector Noesi, there would seem to be legitimate possibility that Noesi will outperform Danks this season. But given Danks’ history, for right or wrong, it seems unlikely the White Sox will ditch their once front-of-rotation arm without him getting the chance to prove himself at the major league level. Because of who the incumbents are, the promotion of Rodon is a lot less cut-and-dry in terms of replacement than Byrant’s.

Service Time Manipulation

As a Sox fan, I would like to think holding Rodon in the minors is not about service time. While I understand the business sense of it, I find the entire idea of it slimy. For the sake of argument, however, let’s say it is only about service time. With history as precedent, pitchers’ service time can be manipulated

vastly differently than position players. As Fox’s Jon Morosi pointed out in a recent column, pitchers in Rodon’s situation have been sent down at the All Star break under the guise of taking of advantage of remaining minor league options while at the same time gaining extra bullpen versatility (and of course reducing service time in the process). The same can not be done for Bryant, who would presumably be starting every day, making a demotion indefensible. That this difference exists completely changes how these teams would need to approach the start of the season from a service time perspective. With all this said, this discussion will soon be a thing of the past, when Bryant is up by mid-April and Rodon not far behind him. This doesn’t change the significance of the topic at hand. Manipulating service time is intentionally failing to put the best product on the field, with no benefits but saving money for owners. With Bryant, this is most definitely what the Cubs are doing. The same cannot be said conclusively about the White Sox and Carlos Rodon. Oh, and they totally can’t get anything for these guys in a trade.

Tales from the Trough

IceHogs roll through East, Rockford pushes on for top spot in the West By Todd Reicher Exclusive to TRRT

Week 24 had Rockford start with a 3-2 win over the Lake Erie Monsters at home on Wednesday. Rockford stormed out to a 3-0 lead before the Monsters scored two in under two minutes to close the gap. Rockford’s defense tightened up in the third, and despite allowing 13 final period shots Antti Raanta did not allow another goal. Rockford closed their four-game home stand with a perfect 4-0 record. The IceHogs then traveled by bus all the way to Glens Falls, New York to face the Adirondack Flames for the third time in four games. Rockford handled the Flames in their last meeting, with the ‘Hogs winning 4-0 on the heels of Raanta’s first shutout in an IceHogs sweater. A flat tire for the team bus on the way to New York didn’t faze the ‘Hogs as the team rolled to another 4-0 win over the Flames. Dennis Rasmussen got the scoring underway for Rockford 7:41 into the game with his 11th marker of the season. Dane Walters and Trevor van Riemsdyk were the helpers on the marker. An amazing display of hand-eye coordination from Pierre Cedric Labrie provided Rockford their second goal of the game. A shot on net by van Riemsdyk produced a rebound that trickled out to Labrie. With a swift move of his stick, Labrie popped the puck into the air and a second quick flick of the wrists saw Labrie swat the puck out of mid-air and into the back of the net. Spencer Abbott was next in line as he scored his 13th of the season off a slick pass from Brandon Mashinter. Mash was carrying the puck on the left boards, and was about to be hit by a Flames defenseman, when he pulled up, and threaded a behind-the-back pass to Abbott who was streaking toward the slot. Abbott grabbed the puck, made a quick move right, and fired the puck to the left corner of the net for the tally. Rockford put the game out of reach early in the third. After missing over 40 games with a broken arm, Alex Broadhurst was sprung on a breakaway by a pass from Stephen Johns. Broadhurst went to the backhand-forehand-backhand before lifting the puck in the back of the net for his first goal of the season. Michael Leighton was solid in net for Rockford, stopping all 25 shots he faced in route to his 41st career shutout, placing him in a second place tie for the most shutouts in the American Hockey League with Gil Mayer, who played from 19491963. Leighton now sits four shutouts shy of tying the AHL record of 45 held by Johnny Bower. The following night, Rockford headed north to Utica to face the North Division leading Comets. The IceHogs defeated the Comets earlier in the season by a 3-0 margin led by Leighton. It was an ominous start for Rockford as halfway through the first period Raanta gave away the puck when he came way out of his crease to play the puck, which lead to the game’s first goal. An aggressive forecheck caused Raanta to fumble which tumbled towards the slot allowing Darren Archibald to tap it into an open net. Archibald struck again very early in the second period to put the Comets up 2-0 just 26 seconds into the second frame. Ex-IceHogs defenseman Adam Clendening came back to haunt Rockford as the D-man factored in on the first two Utica goals. Utica’s power play squad increased the lead to 3-0 on their only power play attempt of the game. Former AHL Rookie of the Year Cory Conacher tallied his eighth marker of the year at 4:07 of the frame. The goal also chased Raanta from the game as Leighton came on in relief. Only 29 seconds after the power play expired, Alex Broadhurst put Rockford on the board. Ryan

Hartman threw a puck at the net which lay in the crease. Both Broadhurst and Cody Bass poked at the puck, and Broadhurst put it across the line for the goal. Rockford’s chance for a comeback was severely damaged when Hunter Shinkaruk potted his 12th marker of the season 9:14 into the final frame to put Utica up 4-1. With Leighton sent to the bench, Abbott continued his torrid scoring pace with his 14th goal of the season, assisted by Peter Regin. The goal drew Rockford to a two-goal deficit with 2:49 left in regulation play. But the Rockford comeback fell short as Joe Cannata held strong for the Comets stopping the rest of the shots he faced in the third for the 4-2 win. Cannata played well for the Comets, stopping 37 of 39 shots while Leighton stopped nine of the 10 shots he faced in relief of Raanta, who stopped 10 of the 13 shots he faced.

grab 4 points

The four goals from Utica is the most Rockford has given up in one game since they were shut out 4-0 by the San Antonio Rampage on February 18, a span of 13 games. The IceHogs wrap up their three game road trip tonight against the Grand Rapids Griffins for the first game of a home-and-home series with the current Midwest Division leaders. Both teams travel to Rockford on Friday for the second game of the series and the first of three straight home games for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hogs. The following night, Rockford will host the Rochester Americans with a 7:00 start time. With the current standings, Rockford sits three points behind the Griffins with one game in hand. If Rockford can manage to take both games against the Griffins, Rockford will take over sole possession of first place in the Midwest Division with nine games remaining. Photo: Spencer Abbott continues his torrid pace for Rockford since being traded to the IceHogs on February 26. In 10 games with Rockford, Abbott has seven goals and three assists for 10 points.
