Apologies Due

Rockford Park District deserves better By Frank Schier Publisher & Editor

find the recent attacks on the Rockford Park District’s Executive Director Tim Dimke outrageous and unfair. More than one fact has been omitted under the banner of the public’s right to know. I must first admit my bias, which I don’t believe other news organizations that have covered this story will do, especially as to who is really motivating coverage on this story and why. I have been having lunch for 22 years once a month with Dimke’s mentor, and one of mine, Webbs Norman. Norman is a council member on the Rock River Trail, and the Rockford Park District (as have the City of Rockford, and Winnebago County) have been of great assistance to that effort, which I founded. The RPD is also one of this newspaper’s advertisers, as they are with other news organizations. Tim and I have picked up the monthly lunch tradition. I have had dinner at Marc’s Fusion with him and his family once about a year ago. I went to high school with his wife, Deb. We have rarely seen each other since. Newspaper and trail business is the extent of our frank relationship. Dimke and I have had our disagreements. He knows I have a temper, and I know he has one. What has been said and poorly researched and written about him and our Park District make me very angry Being in the restaurant business for 14 years and this business for 25 years, I know when I meet a weasel on two legs or a human who purports to be something they are not. After knowing Dimke for many years now, I must say I cannot imagine Tim Dimke doing anything that would sully the reputation of the Rockford Park District. I cannot imagine him making a dirty back-room deal to benefit himself. I cannot imagine him engaging in quasi-legal, immoral or greedy behavior.” Dimke is farm boy and in his last year at Auburn High School, a 17-18-years-old, he was very happy to be hired by the Rockford Park District part time. After graduation, he

worked at Page Park on the maintenance crew for 40 hrs a week and then at the Children’s farm another 30 hrs a week. Now he’s 60-years old–after 42 years of dedication to the Rockford Park District–and he wants to retire. Rarely, in any organization, do you find employees who have served with such tenure. He thought he had a plan to save RFD money, and set up a consulting company, while finishing two projects he really wants to see completed. Dimke relates, “Working at the Park District is a way of life that it is way beyond a career, and after 42 years I am ready to do a couple of things. “One is to finish very strongly my commitment to the Transforming Rockford Initiative; and the other is to finishing the major economic development/recreation Reclaiming First project which are beneficial for the entire region.” Dimke has been working on Reclaiming First since 2009. That project encompasses the refurbishing of SportsCore I, the expansion of SportsCore II and the construction of an extensive sports complex on the bank of the Rock River. These elements will make Rockford a top regional draw for amateur sports tournaments, and greatly increase money spent in restaurants, hotels, gas stations, pharmacies and our sales tax revenue. By unanimous votes in 2013, approval came from the Rockford Park District, Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB), City of Rockford, City of Loves Park, Village of Machesney Park, Village of Cherry Valley and Winnebago County have approved Reclaiming First. Dimke and John Groh, CEO of RACVB, are spearheaded Reclaiming First with the cooperation and support of all partners.

After all of what I see as unjust criticism, Dimke could just retire. But he won’t. The reader may make one assessment of his character just by that decision. What if Dimke just quit? I asked John Groh that question. Groh said, “Tim’s stable involvement with the Reclaiming First project is key reason why we are we are were we are today. Those facilities’ expansions are funded and under construction. “Since 2011, following at least two years of research and analysis, market studies showed what our citizens need and the market will support. Now these facilities are set to open next year in 2016. “He and I are co-chair of the project; without him it would not have happened. “We are looking for a smooth and successful opening. With the city, the RPD is managing $55 million worth of capital construction projects that will have a $16 million a year impact new to the community. We have to do everything we can to make sure they go smoothly and changing a pilot mid flight will not help land a plane safely or successfully,” Groh concluded. Dimke is not a quitter. He is a responder of the with the utmost responsibility to his community. Many people retire after 20, 25, 30 years, but Dimke didn’t. He loved his job. He has risen through the ranks .Webbs Norman, who served for 34 years as the executive director of the RPD, picked him out of all his employees for extensive mentoring and to succeed him. Like Webbs, he’s rarely taken sick days or vacation days. I asked he what his average day was like. Dimke said, “I’m up at 5 to get a workout in, and then it’s whatever the day requires seven days a week. It’s whatever the evenings

meeting schedule is. It’s whatever the whole day requires to do the job and the energy it takes for 24/7.” Responding to one mean-spirited remark, with his usual sense of humor, Dimke said, “As someone suggested, I may be helping the staff at Portillo’s, if they’ll have me.” Dimke never imagined that when he let so many of his sick days and vacation day go, and when he did want to claim the relatively few in comparison, he would be attacked. Like many people who are retiring, he is absolutely entitled to accumulated vacation and sick days; and yes, just like others, those vacation and sick days will increase retirement pay because they are claimed in the last year. Yes, just like others, it will increase the average of your last four years pay, upon which your pension payments will be based. If anyone else were to do this, that would be a normal situation with no questions. Because Dimke has a high-visibility job and he cared enough to make a proposal to save the RPD money so he could finish important community projects, he was attacked for a normal practice. Specifically, Dimke, explain, “The $41,685 increase of salary being questioned in my last year comes is the accumulation of two years of unclaimed vacation time and 400 hours of un-

The Rock River Times | April 22-28, 2015 | claimed sick time, which is all that is allowed. I actually have 3,000 hours of unclaimed sick time but I did not claim it. I have given my sick time away to other employees in need at times. I did take two days when I had a heart stint put in; I figured I needed a couple of days for that,” Dimke, said. Again, Dimke has been an employee of the Rockford Park District for more than four decades. Given Dimke’s distinguished service, the recent media commentary does not seem consistent with his leadership values. It is off base, and if anyone deserves “shame,” it is that media commentary. This entire situation caused this paper to engage in a review of the facts. The Rockford Park District Board of Commissioners approved the retirement timing and contractual services plan for Dimke in the Board’s open session at the January 13, 2015 meeting. That was done right in front of everyone. There was no back-room deal. The intended plan was for Dimke to continue service, so he could lead the completion of the Reclaiming First project as well as plan for staff succession within the RPD. The Board’s lead counsel, Mike Schuerich, had been assisting with the formulation of Dimke’s retirement plan for several months. Schuerich believes “the plan that the Board supported was legal, had precedence in other Illinois park districts, and was affirmed in the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court (Prazen v. Shoop, 2013 IL 115035) as a viable plan for IMRF retirees. Kathy O’Brien, IMRF counsel, told Schuerich that IMRF did not like the idea of a retiree providing transition services to an IMRF employer, but advised that forming a viable LLC to provide transition services would be compliant with all state requirements.” Schuerich reviewed a contract that was in place for the executive director of the Addison Park District who retired from IMRF (Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund) in January 2014. The Addison Park District entered into a contractual agreement with Mr. Mark McKinnon to continue service once his IMRF benefits began. Prior to his retirement, Mr. McKinnon indicated that the IMRF approved his contract so it would not interfere with pension regulations. The primary difference was that McKinnon retired first, and then entered into the contract. In my opinion, “Mr. Above-Board” Dimke’s mistake was to inform the IMRF and ask for their blessing. McKinnon wrote Dimke in a Sunday, March 22 e-mail: “Tim: I just want you know that I feel awful about the turn of events with you and IMRF. It completely baffles me that IMRF would consider doing this, especially after the supreme court decision over a year ago. “I think I am preaching to the choir here, but you have earned your 40 year pension from IMRF, and forming your own company that is contracted to RPD no longer makes you and employee. You should be allowed to get any job you want as an independent contractor. You are still being paid by Rockford for one job. IMRF is paying your earned pension, not the Rockford

Park District. I do not believe IMRF can dictate where or who your company contracts with. “The saddest part is that the Rockford Park district is losing out from saving money that was really the whole premise of the plan. I understand politicians are now involved, which takes it to a different level. I also believe IMRF is ticked off because now they will not be getting their money for the ED [Dimke’s Executive Director] position. “I don’t know where you are at with the process, but I would be happy to help where I can. As I stated, I had IMRF review my contract with our attorney and IMRF attorneys in advance to insure it would not risk any pension issues with me. I believe they reluctantly agreed to allow it on the heels of the court case. I will have some discussion with our attorney tomorrow and would welcome your legal staff to consult with him again. “Feel free to contact me with any update or information that could support you. “Talk to you later, Mark” With the Supreme Court ruling, with what Schuerich and Dimke characterize as affirmative conversations with IMRF General Counsel Kathy O’Brien, and with the McKinnon / Addison precedent, the RPD Board of Commissioners believed they were implementing an already approved plan that would insure they could maintain the leadership services of Mr. Dimke after his retirement. How to explain why Mr. Dimke’s plan was not supported by IMRF when other such agreements exist in park districts around the state? As published by the daily, IMRF’s executive director Louis W. Kosiba indicated that Mr. Dimke’s retirement plan would cost the RPD an additional $220,000 in actuarial expenses. That was a one-time payment. Dimke asserts he told the daily not to use that figure because he thought it should be more throughly examined. When the RPD inquired through its attorney as to how to IMRF arrived at the figure of $220,000 provided to the daily, the IMRF a projected actuarial expenses estimated at $109,000. Those figures were not provided until 9 days after the request. Why there is more than a $100,000 difference could not be answered. IMRF’s General Counsel Kathy O’Brien is out of the office until April 27. IMRF’s Executive Director Louis Kosiba is out of the office until April 22. This paper goes to press April 21. Messages were left for both, Watch our website for their replies. One reply about the monetary situation was from Webbs Norman . When was asked how all this came about and to reflect on it, Norman said, “It is my understanding given the decline in revenues that the Park District was receiving, the board asked Tim to consider all the ways of reducing expenditures. There was no intent of deceive or mislead anybody. He and I worked together for 34 years and during that time there was never any reason that I questioned the character of this man.” Dimke asserted that his plan of retirement and employment as a consultant would be a

savings of $65,000 a year. The difference in Mr. Dimke’s salary as an employee and as a contractor were estimated to be a savings of $65,000 annually or $195,000 over the three years on his consulting contract. This paper disagrees with that figure. It is too low. We will use the salary average of $150,000 as a base, which does not include the aforementioned payout this year for unused vacation and sick days. We are projecting future cost are they exist under present circumstances. If Dimke is to remain a salaried employee with benefit sand taxes, add the another $40,000 dollars. That’s the RPD share of his continued pension costs to the IMRF, matching Social Security taxes, state unemployment tax fees, life insurance, and additional accrual of vacation and sick days. Plus add in a 2.5 percent raise each year. “I take the average of what all the employees get and no more, “ Dimke said, citing that most CEOs do not follow that inexpensive practice. Adding the benefits, taxes, and raises, if you subtract what the RPD could have paid with Dimke as a consultant at only $125,000 per year for three years, the savings are as follows: $69,449.05 for year one; $73,310.28 for year two; and $76,268.04 for year three. That total is $219,027.37. Now subtract out what the real IMRF actuarial cost is of $109369.60, and the taxpayers could have saved $109, 657.78. Again, given the more accurate estimates, it apparent that the Dimke proposed plan would have resulted in a net savings of a minimum of $109369.60, for the three years of his contract. Again, original numbers that were reported by the news media and IMRF were grossly overstated and portrayed as a “money grab”. There was little discussion about leadership succession. The IMRF asserts on its website that it is an agency that values transparency. Somehow the agency forgot to be transparent with Mr. Dimke. Mr. Dimke’s IMRF denial was e-mailed to a politico, Illinois Rep. Jack Franks (D-63) from Marengo, prior to being sent to Mr. Dimke via the US mail. “Exclusive: Retirement plan blocked for Rockford Park District chief Tim Dimke. March 20, 2015 - Rockford Register Star,” is a post on his website: franks4illinois.com/. I wonder if this editorial will be posted on Rep. Frank’s website; will it improve one of his favorite issues’ focus? Dimke’s IMRF refusal letter was also provided to the daily without a letterhead or signature before Dimke received it. I thought the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund was supposed to represent and support it’s contributing members. Again, IMRF’s O’Brien Kosiba were not available for comment at press time. Watch our website for their replies. Ted Flickenger, retired executive director of the Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD) said about the attacks on Dimke’s character, “Oh, my gosh. I don’t know anyone who has more integrity than Tim. He is a person who has worked and achieved respect across the nation as a Gold Medal winner.

“I don’t get the IMRF. They have been trying to get the park district out of the system for some time. I hope they are not using Tim as a goat,” Flickenger said. Peter Murphy, the current IAPD executive director said, “I think Tim has one of the finest characters in the State of Illinois. Your park district is one of the most innovative and progressive in the state, and that can be attributed to Tim’s leadership. People who know Tim know he is of high quality.” Dimke has done an exceptional job leading the Rockford Park District’s pursuit to become recognized as “one of the best park districts” in the United States. Along with Groh, their efforts in six years have created Reclaiming First, which has the potential to economically transform the northern Illinois region. Overall, his leadership has made a lasting impact on the viability of this community. The RPD is certainly one of the premier organizations in this region, yet over the past few weeks the integrity of the RPD, it’s board and Dimke have been wrongly questioned. To the daily, local mean spirits, the IMRF and Rep. Franks, here’s a quote from the RPD website: “The Rockford Park District received the 2012 National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The Gold Medal Award honors park and recreation agencies throughout the United States that demonstrate excellence in long‐range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development, and agency recognition. Each agency is judged on its ability to address the needs of those it serves through the collective energies of citizens, staff, and elected officials.” When asked about assertions from a citizen in a letter to the daily that he is “Immoral and greedy” Dimke replied, “I haven’t changed from my original stance back when we first analyzed this. There is savings to the taxpayer. It is legal. There is precedence. As we move forward, i will work diligently with the board and the entire park district team to continue the high standard in the future. To quote another newspaper, we are “a world class park district.” We will continue that. That only happens through strong, committed, consistent leadership from board and staff, and citizen participation in the process, not back room deals,” Dimke asserted. As to the upcoming Park Board of Commissioners meeting, Dimke said, “First, the board will rescind the contract with my consulting company, and will evaluate continuing my employment status as executive director. When asked what will happen when his projects are completed and he does retire, Dimke said, “After that I want enjoy my consulting company, probably outside of Rockford to teach best practices. Deb and I will probably relocate at that time and spend more time with family.” Dimke concluded. I think quit a few people owe Tim Dimke, all the staff and board of our park district, and Dimke’s family an apology.

Earth Day 2015: where are we now?

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

n underlying theme of 45 years of Earth Day celebrations is that human enterprise is imposing a heavy burden on human health and the health of the planet. The rate of consumption of natural resources is far too high to be sustainable. Most of the adverse consequences of the process will be borne by our children and grandchildren even though the damage is apparent today. Converting natural resources to goods and services leaves a stream of waste which exceeds nature’s processing ability. A long list of adverse impacts from human activities are recognized and being addressed but not on the scale sufficient to ensure a sustainable future. The analogy of redesigning our economic system along the lines of what is necessary for successful living in a space capsule remains a powerful image. As the late economist Ken Boulding advised, we need to redesign our economy as the existing neoclassical economic model now in use is based on outdated science. The promise of continuous economic growth and infinite resource substitution remains the basic premise of economic policies which continue to ignore their adverse ecological consequences. The most prominent ignored consequence has been accumulating climate changing gases in the atmosphere. Environmental changes including ocean acidification, glacial melting, rising sea levels, biodiversity losses and changes in species abundance and distribution are all influenced by climate change. The best scientific explanation derived from peer reviewed scientific studies summarized in the most recent IPCC report concludes that the presence of climate changing gases is largely a result of economic and population growth since the start of the industrial revolution. While the potential problem has been recognized at Earth Day events since they began it is now seen as our most pressing environmental problem. To avoid the worse consequences of climate change a goal

has been set to dramatically reduce carbon emissions to limit global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. The 2014 IPPC policy summary calls for phasing out of fossil fuels by the end of this century in order to avoid exceeding the goal. If we fail to introduce appropriate actions now it will be far more difficult to achieve the goal in the future. Considering our extensive reliance on fossil fuels any transition away from them will take time and will be aggressively resisted by owners of fossil fuel resources, politically leaders with ties to the industry and those whose jobs would be adversely affected. Fortunately the science behind the need to limit climate change is clear; we have the technologies and understandings to transition out of fossil fuels. The remaining challenge is gaining public and political support essential to

implementing the changes. The energy transition is accelerating in many parts of the world. While the United States initiated the renewable revolution its most extensive development is occurring in Denmark and Germany. The transition is also well underway in the developing world as the low cost of solar energy allows for their rapid introduction without the high cost of expanding centralized grid service. With the will to act, beginning with individual and local actions, the US could again be a renewable energy leader. Adapted from a presentation by Bob Brecha at the Sixth Community Solutions Conference, Nov. 7-9, 2014, Yellow Springs, Ohio. Drs.

What can you do to celebrate Earth Day?

From EarthTalk

By the editors of E–The Environmental Magazine

oday marks the 45th annual celebration of the first Earth Day in 1970, when 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. Back then, thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment, while grassroots groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife realized they shared common values—and a unified environmental movement was born. The spirit of that first Earth Day lives on every year when April 22 rolls around, but nowadays hundreds of millions of people

around the world honor the planet and pledge to do their part to protect it. The non-profit Earth Day Network (EDN), founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, helps organize events and rallies around the world by providing information and resources and serving as a central clearinghouse for local listings. EDN’s international network tops 22,000 organizations in 192 countries, while its U.S. program assists more than 30,000 educators and helps activists coordinate thousands of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. If you’re looking to participate in an Earth Day event or rally near you, EDN’s “Find an Earth Day Event” database has you covered. Browse by country, state/province and city. And if you can’t find something near you, Earth Day Network can provide the resources to start your own. Even if it’s last minute, it still counts.

Even if you can’t attend an event in person, you can help the cause by “pledging an act of green” — committing to do something on behalf conservation and the environment (even simply reducing home energy consumption) and posting accordingly to the EDN website — or by signing onto one or several of the group’s petitions. The Climate Petition tells leaders to phase out fossil fuels, while the “Support Environmental Education” drive calls on Congress to reinstate funding to schools for sustainability topics. Another way to help spread awareness today is posting about your commitment to the environment via social media. Tell your Facebook friends or Twitter followers why protecting the planet is so important to you and to all of us. Start a Reddit discussion on green initiatives in your town or neighborhood. Post your favorite nature images to your Pinterest board or Flickr account.

Get a soil test to know your soil

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

nowing your soil and its limitations is the first step in realizing the challenges or successes your season is going to have. Nutrients, pH, and soil organic matter (SOM) are all pieces of information you will get from soil test results. A soil test involves taking garden soil, placing it in a bag, and sending to a soil testing lab. Results will then be emailed/ mailed back to you. There is a cost associated with sending off a sample. Kits can be requested through the soil testing lab websites. You can also get a soil testing kit from the University of Illinois Extension office in Winnebago, Jo Daviess, and Stephenson counties. A soil test should be taken every 3-5 years. If you are growing in a new part of your backyard, you should get a soil test to determine what your soil limitations are. This is especially important if you are planning to grow perennial plants that will be hard to modify the soil once the plant has been established. Most of the time I recommend

a soil test in the fall as it will take time for your soil pH to be raised or lowered; however, taking a soil test now will give you fertilizer recommendations before your season starts. Supplies to take a soil test include a bucket, a trowel/shovel, and the bag (provided or not provided). You should take between 6-10 samples from 6 inches deep from your garden. As you are scooping the soil out, place it in the bucket. You should also randomly take samples in your garden. This means you may zig-zag around the garden to get a mixture of soil samples. If you have more than one garden, you should consider two different samples. Once all soil is collected, mix with your hand/tool than add to the bag/ box. There will also be an information sheet where you can check boxes related to what you are growing such as vegetables, flowers, turf, and others. It is important to be accurate in checking off the boxes as the recommendations sent to you will be for the plants you list. With your results in, you’ll be set to start growing. Next week I’ll explain what all the results mean.

Fork and Stein delivers beer-infused delicacies By Nate Johnson Columnist

hese days, it seems like you can’t go anywhere without running into a food truck, but Rockford has yet to catch up with other urban areas in this movement. However, while we might be underserved in numbers, our area is fortunate enough to be home to Fork and Stein Urban Gourmet. Since making their debut at a summertime River District block party last summer, the Fork and Stein team has dazzled diners everywhere they’ve popped up with their signature alchemy of infusing quality dishes with craft beer. Seeking out and experimenting with a wide variety of beers has led to some very special results, according to truck honcho Andrew Carlson. “The variety and singular experiences of most craft beers is what truly fuels our inspirations to create each dish,” according to Carlson. “Much like home brewing and some of the local and national craft brewers, you may only have one chance to experience certain brews. Some of our dishes will be created specifically for certain beers and events and will hopefully deliver a unique food experience each time.”

The truck’s menu at the recent Record Store Day event at Culture Shock certainly lived up to that. With Delaware brewery Dogfish Head serving as RSD’s official brewery, Carlson decided that he had an easy

Brew brown ale, a chocolate stout-infused cake pop, and their popular Sheboygan Kegger, a soft pretzel bite stuffed with bratwurst, bacon and onions and served with a beer cheese dipping sauce. This summer, fans of the truck will have a much wider opportunity to get their fix. Besides returning to Rockford City Market and the GPS Farmers Market for a second season with each, F&S is shooting to be on the streets of the Rockford area five days each week. Adding a full-time team member will allow them to add events such as the Churchill’s Grove garage sale, the Urban Farmgirl market at Midway Village, and Byronfest to the docket. Opening up the schedule also allows Carlson and his crafty collaborators to add to their menu. Hinting at what’s to come, Carlson promises, “We are working on dessert keggers (their puff pastry bites) including a killer Boston Creme Pie variation. We’re introducing drunken cake pops. You’ll see a few different sliders hit the street this year that are oddly inspired by some classic dishes such as chicken cordon bleu, French onion soup and London broil, as well as our new ‘beer bellies’ - imagine beer infused gourmet hot pockets!”

Tentacles Everywhere gives freak folk clever voice

By Emily Sipiora

This weekend in the Rockford music scene

Contributor

Tentacles Everywhere is a Rockford freak folk band saturated with twee, Wes Anderson like gimmicks and clever songwriting. The band consists of Elizabeth “Kris” McQueeny, Nabeel Shaikh and Kyle Theiss. Recently spotted at The Rockford Art Deli for ArtScene, Culture Shock for Record Store Day and multiple other venues, the band has carved out a unique, carnival like sound similar to no other Rockford band. “I have been playing music with my boyfriend Kyle Theiss for the duration of our relationship. People always liked hearing us play so we decided to start a band. We knew Nabeel from shows that he booked for us at the Rockford Art Deli– I later officially met Nabeel in response to a Facebook post that I put out looking for a multi-instrumentalist. He was interested in joining, and so he did,” McQueeny explained about recruiting the band’s members. McQueeny also revealed the origin of the band name, “Tentacles Everywhere was originally a name I gave my solo music project. I came up with the name because I would record my music on garage band and do all the instruments and vocals for each track. I felt like if I were an octopus I would be able

Courtesy Tentacles Everywhere facebook page

to play my stuff live because I would have eight arms but as one person I could only record stuff.” Tentacles Everywhere has played with multiple other notable Rockford acts. In particular, McQueeny stated “I love playing with Taboo Blah Blah. I really enjoyed playing in Micky Rosenquist’s singer-songwriter circle recently, too.” In regards to the local music scene, McQueeny believes that more women musicians are necessary. “I always have the urge to teach my female friends instruments because there are not enough girl mu-

sicians in this town,” she said. “I get irritated that it’s unusual to have a girl in a band or that some guys use it for a draw, like ‘we have a girl in our band,’ that makes us unique.” “We don’t have too much of a method. We just play around with our instruments until we find something we really like,” the vocalist said. “We come up with lyrics while sitting down at the Irish Rose or Oasis over a few brews.” In regards to lyrics, McQueeny simply said “We just let our minds wander and pass around our green journal.”

On Friday Emmanuel Lutheran Church will hold the first spring show at their venue, the Emmanuel Lutheran Basement. Doors will open at 6 p.m., with music beginning at 7 p.m. Local artist Luke Seamus McGowan-Arnold and Brendon Crave will be opening for touring bands Sloth Hands, Hear This! and Awe Howler. The cover is $5, but as always, is $4 with a canned good upon entrance. The ELB is located at 920 3rd Avenue. “I think that we don’t have a lot of opportunities for musicians who are not in bands who want to play folk music and I think folk is important, so venues like ELB are important. I hope to bring plenty of Dylan and Guthrie to Rockford,” opening act Luke Seamus McGowan-Arnold said. Sex Vortex, Griffin Rainbird and Earth to Clark will be playing Friday night at 714 Locust St. starting at 7 p.m. A minimum $3 donation is required upon entry. On Saturday, the “Best Damn Music Show” series begins at Kate’s Pie Shop & Record Store, 6685 E. State St., at 7 p.m. Local veteran Jordan Smith of folk punk project Jordan and His Stupid Silly Songs will be opening, followed by Joel Collinsworth of Original Mechanical Mouse.

Better food, same cost

Meet John Doe

The Center for Rural Affairs

emingford, Nebraska, public schools recently transitioned from a “warm and serve” to a “made from scratch” school lunch. The change has been a hit with students and will likely have a positive impact on the school’s budget. School nurse Judy Stewart, a driving force behind the change, believes when final financial statements for kitchen operations come in, labor and food costs will be the same as before the transition, if not less. The numbers of students eating the school’s lunch offerings are way up, which also helps with the financial outlook. Kitchen staff have learned there are cost savings in procuring food for a made-from-scratch kitchen. Food purchased through USDA - meats, cheeses, vegetables, fruits, etc. - include processing charges if they are prepared for a “warm and serve” kitchen. But they are considerably less expensive when purchased in less processed forms and prepared at the school. Moreover, USDA has hundreds of made from scratch recipes for school kitchens, most of which require little adaptation and are thoroughly enjoyed by the students. At the Center for Rural Affairs, we take great pride in our Farm to School work, which is nation-leading in its focus on rural and small-town schools. Hemingford, perhaps as much as any community, proves that a small-town school with desire, imagination, and an innovative spirit can offer a first-class school lunch with fresh, local, and made-from-scratch offerings that students truly enjoy. Congratulations to the students, staff, and administration of Hemingford Public Schools, and happy eating. The Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and rural communities.

Low voter turnout allows select few to make policy decisions By Paul Gorski Columnist

oter turnout during the recent local elections was dismally low. The Rockford Board of Election Commissioners website indicates that just over 6 percent of registered voters in Rockford voted. The Winnebago County Clerk’s election site reports that just about 10 percent of the registered voters outside of Rockford voted. These numbers are just for registered voters; not every resident of voting age is registered to vote. Unfortunately, low voter turnout allows a select few to decide who wins certain offices and what referenda fail or succeed. Admittedly, those numbers are skewed because many of the elections went uncontested. That is to say, there was not much of a race – one candidate running for one position, two candidates running for two positions and so on. We did have some contested aldermanic and trustee races, in addition to referenda requesting tax dollars for specific projects. These were all important races. The people winning these elections will help

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.

decide how your tax dollars are spent and on which services. The races and questions during these non-presidential election years do not get much press and the candidates do not usually have much money to spend on advertising. The candidates that can raise money can get the word out. Those candidates usually have friends and contacts with deep pockets; so, there goes big money again affecting elections, this time on the local level. I am glad the local anti-corruption question won. Thank you. That question read: “Do you support reducing the corrupting influence of money on our political system by prohibiting politicians from taking campaign money from the special interests they regulate; increasing transparency for campaign funding; empowering all voters through a tax rebate voucher to contribute to the candidates they support; prohibiting representatives and senior staff from lobbying activity for five years after they leave office; and placing limits on super PAC-campaign coordination?” I hope that we will see that same question as a statewide initiative someday soon.

The best way of course of defeating big money in elections is to do research on the candidates and then vote. Do not let someone else vote for you by not voting. Take a look your tax bill and you will see a long list of taxing bodies. If you do not vote, you do not have much say as who is managing those tax dollars. We all want something from our tax dollars. Some people want government to spend as little as it can, others realize taxes are necessary, but would like politicians to focus on certain services and projects. Not everyone who runs for political office is a good candidate or a smart person. This may seem both intuitive to the average resident and insulting to local politicians. We need bright, engaged people reviewing policies and tax dollar expenditures. You are that filter. Your vote helps raise the quality of local leadership and improve our community. Exercise your right to vote at every election.

Thinking About Health

Local Governments

By Trudy Lieberman

DeKalb County may find relief in revenue-sharing

Patients should look at grades before advertising

Rural Health News Service

he government has just announced its first-ever star ratings of the country’s hospitals based on patients’ assessments of the care they received. Other organizations have dabbled in this ratings business, many of them to make a buck by selling their rankings. And it’s not uncommon for some of these outfits to get licensing fees from hospitals that get glowing report cards they can then use to market themselves. I’ve tended to view those ratings schemes with skepticism. The government’s ratings, however, don’t come with any of that baggage and don’t appear to be sugarcoated for commercial purposes. Only 251 of the 3,500 or so hospitals that received a rating got the top score of five stars—about 7 percent of the total. It turns out many of them are small specialty hospitals like the Heart Hospital at Deaconess Gateway in Newburgh, Indiana. I checked the rankings for the seven states participating in the Rural Health News Service. Nebraska, South Dakota and Indiana scored in the top group with hospitals averaging the most stars. Illinois was ranked in the second highest group. The government gathers its data by randomly selecting both Medicare and non-Medicare patients and asking them to fill out a questionnaire about their experiences in the hospitals. They are asked if doctors and nurses always communicated well with them; if the area around their rooms was quiet at night and bathrooms were clean; whether the staff explained medications before administering them and patients’ pain was controlled; whether they were given discharge instructions when they left the hospital and whether they understood them; whether they received help as soon as they wanted it and whether they definitely would recommend the hospital to others. While there are many other components that measure differences between a really

good hospital and one that’s so-so such as infection control, patient safety and clinical outcomes, patient experiences are nothing to be sniffed at. Why would any patient want to have an operation in a hospital where the bathrooms weren’t clean and they’d always be yelling for pain relief? The problem is many patients have no choice when they need a hospital procedure. Increasingly, insurers are asking patients to pick policies that come with very narrow provider networks. Carriers are giving the lowest premiums to policyholders who pick networks where doctors and hospitals have agreed to the prices insurers want to pay. Often those low-cost networks exclude wellknown, marquee hospitals that often come with high price tags like Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, Memorial Sloan Kettering in Manhattan and Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital. If you will be facing such a choice of networks and the premium trade-offs that come with them---wider networks usually mean higher premiums---the government’s patient satisfaction ratings might tip the balance in favor of one network rather than another. If your doctors want you to go to a facility that has gotten middling ratings or low scores with one or two stars that should spark a conversation about what the doctors actually know about the care their patients are getting and why they want you to use a particular hospital. Now that there is a more objective way to measure hospital experience, beware of all that hospital advertising aimed to make you think well of the facility and build the brand. The government’s ratings show that sometimes there is no correlation between patient satisfaction and a hospital’s advertising to promote its lucrative services. The Rural Health News Service is funded by a grant from The Commonwealth Fund and is distributed through the Illinois Press Assn.

By David Giuliani Illinois Policy Institute

here’s no arguing that Illinois state government must make tough decisions to put its financial house back in order. Gov. Bruce Rauner has laid out his proposal to do that, which includes sending about $600 million less from state income-tax revenues to local governments. “While the state tightens its belt, so too must local governments and transportation agencies,” Rauner said in his budget address. In response, local officials hit the pavement, publicizing how much money they purportedly would lose and portraying the reduction as catastrophic. What was missing: context. Income-tax revenue represents just one-sixth of the $6.1 billion the state gives to local governments every year. Rauner’s proposal would leave untouched the vast majority of that money. Take DeKalb County, for example. At the end of fiscal year 2013, DeKalb County’s municipalities and county government were sitting on $36.5 million in general-fund reserves, according to numbers from the state comptroller’s office. The proposed cut in income-tax revenue would amount to about $5.8 million countywide, or just 16 percent of reserves. For the time being, general-fund reserves can cover the reduction. In the long run, local governments will have to pare their budgets. This means consolidation of government agencies and services must be on the table. The state has nearly 7,000 local taxing entities, far more than any other state, even those much larger. Illinois has entities unheard of in other states – taxing districts for parks, fire protection, libraries and assorted special purposes. In the private sector, companies routinely merge operations as a way to save money and stay competitive. Otherwise, they go out of business. This standard should apply to government as well. If taxpayers can get a bigger bang for their buck, they should get it. Across the state, entities are finding savings by merging dispatch operations. DeKalb County and the city of DeKalb currently maintain separate 911 centers. Neighboring Lee County combined its

‘The city of DeKalb and the DeKalb Park District have roughly the same boundaries. Merging the two could save on administrative and overhead costs, at a minimum.’ dispatch agencies in the 1990s and local leaders there say the consolidation was a good deal for the public. Other opportunities for consolidation exist in DeKalb County. The city of DeKalb and the DeKalb Park District have roughly the same boundaries. Merging the two could save on administrative and overhead costs, at a minimum. To improve efficiency, the state can help local governments by doing away with needless, unfunded mandates, particularly with pensions. Under state law, every county except Cook must belong to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, or IMRF, and municipalities that join the IMRF must belong forever. They are banned from leaving. This is unfair to taxpayers because the system is draining local governments’ ability to provide core services. The state should instead allow communities to opt for less expensive 401(k)style plans. Most of the private sector has already made this transition. In 2011, DeKalb’s Daily Chronicle investigated the impact of pension costs on local governments and found it was huge. In fiscal year 2001, the Chronicle reported, the city of DeKalb spent $1.5 million on pensions. That cost rose to $4 million a decade later. Such increases can only mean property-tax hikes, cuts to core services or both. The good news for taxpayers is that on Jan. 1, the state income-tax rate fell to 3.75 percent from 5 percent. That means a family with DeKalb County’s median household income of $53,375 will keep nearly $700 more in its pocket in 2015. That’s money the family can spend at local businesses, generating more sales-tax revenue for local government. In short, with necessary reforms in Springfield taxpayers may actually win for a change.

For the fifth year in a row, the Rock River Trail Initiative (RRTI) will distribute 10,000 trees in the 11 counties of the Rock River, April 22, April 23 and April 24. Chad Pregracke, president of Living Lands and Waters’ One Million Trees program, has donated these 50,000 trees to the Rock River Trail Initiative and our river. Visit www. livinglandsandwaters.org/milliontrees/default.htm. For the second year, the RRTI will also distribute information about regional sources for milkweed seeds for the propagation of the endangered Monarch butterfly, with the goal of making the 320-mile course of the Rock River a Monarch butterfly corridor. While oak trees have been the RRTI calling card for the last five years, the Rock River Trail Initiative’s main goal was to found a National Water Trail along the 320 miles of the Rock River, from its source above the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin to its mouth at the Quad Cities in Illinois. This was achieved March 11, 2013, when Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior Ken Salazar and U.S. National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvins made the designation including the Rock River Trail in the National Water Trail System. Out of 19 national water trails, the Rock River Trail was the 10th trail in the nation to achieve such a distinction. Also in 2013, the Wisconsin and Illinois state legislatures designated the Rock River Trail Scenic and Historic Route on roads adjacent to the Rock River’s course in both states. The RRTI has recently completed q-sheets (turn-by-turn directions) and map for a bike route along the Rock River. The RRTI is also working with Winnebago County’s WinGIS department on producing a hiking map. According to availability, each county will receive 400 swamp white oak, 175 black oak, 200 red oak, 200 white oak and 100 bur oak. Each sapling is 2 to 4 feet long, rooted. The trees will be distributed in Rock Island, Henry, and Whiteside counties April 22; Lee, Ogle, Winnebago, Rock, and Dane counties April 23; and Jefferson, Dodge and Fond du Lac counties April 24. Depending on the temperature, the delivery may be more prompt. Each county will have its own distribution schedule for the public. With the only caveats being the trees must be planted within sight of the Rock River or near the mouth of one of its tributaries, each of the 11 counties will get at least 910 trees. With 455 trees slated for the public sector: city, county, state, and national parks, preserves or conservation areas, the other 455 trees are slated for farms, residences and businesses along the Rock River—all free of charge. Many thanks to all of the great folks who have helped so much in all counties, especially Chad Pregracke and Ashley Stover. Thanks to Penske Truck Rentals in Rockford, Ill., for donating an 8,000-pound capacity truck for the pick-up and delivery of the oak trees. For more information, go to www. GoPenske.com. Special thanks to the City of Rockford and Mayor Lawrence “Larry” J. Morrissey for the donation of $500 for fuel costs, and thanks to Thrift-Remsen Printers for instruction sheet printing.

Living lands & waters’ Seedling Planting Instructions

**Soak trees in water ONE day before planting, but make sure tree stays in bag until then!** Keep watering the bag until you see the buds swelling and then plant them--that’s the optimum time. 1. Scout out an area for your tree that is clear from power lines, other trees, buildings and anything else within 30 feet from tree. Call your utilities to have them mark for underground utilities. If necessary, obtain permission to plant in your desired area. 2. Dig a hole, at least 2 times the width of the root system, so the roots can spread without crowding. 3. Turn the soil up to 3 feet in diameter around your hole to help promote root growth. 4. Place the tree in the hole, with the top of the roots just under the soil line. Make sure the roots are spread out in their natural direction. Do not plant with packing materials. 5. Partially fill the hole with dirt, firm the soil around the lower roots making sure not to break them. Use water to help reduce air pockets. 6. Fill the rest of the hole up, making sure the root collar is at the soil line, and pack firmly. Do not pack too tightly as this may break roots and slow root growth. 7. Water the tree with plenty of water, making sure to water the entire planting area. 8. After the water has soaked in, place mulch around the tree within 1inch of touching the tree. Mulch is important for retaining moisture and keeping weeds down. 9. Water your newly planted tree every week or 10 days during the first year. Water slowly around the drip line. (The drip line is defined by the farthest reaching leaves/ branches.) 10. Enjoy your new oak tree! Living Lands & Waters’ Million Trees Project With 600,000 trees planted so far, the goal of the Million Trees Project is to grow and plant 1 MILLION trees during the next 5 years! We are growing native hardwood nutbearing trees that will benefit our rivers and communities. Visit our website for details and more information about this exciting project: www.livinglandsandwaters.org

Some great facts about TREES!

Provide food and shelter for birds and wildlife Reduce air pollution Provide shade and conserve energy Reduce soil erosion Roots help reduce the amount of pollution and run-off entering our creeks, rivers, and streams Trees are just plain beautiful and increase aesthetics everywhere they are planted An oak tree can reach up to 100 feet tall and its branches can reach up to 100 feet wide.

What goes into growing our trees?

There are many behind-the-scenes activities that require a lot of organization, coordination, time and manpower that contribute to each and every seedling that is given away. We hope, therefore, that you take care of it and are able to give it the attention it deserves.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs. Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay. Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability. Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline. Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of April 22-28, 2015

This Week: Although Mercury retrograde does not transpire until May 19 it certainly feels like it’s arrived a month early. I can’t really find any logical reason for it. Perhaps it’s the rippling effects of the past new moon in Aries April 18. A time when we were able to let go of past complications and move in a new direction. Many times when we are cleaning out the closet so to speak, it appears it’s maybe a bit empty at first. Once we look at what was filling up the space, we really had no use for it to begin with. The same thing applies with emotional elements that create stress or conflict within our lives. The quiet can sometimes be a little unnerving at first, yet imperative for long-term emotional and physical wellness. Take this week to focus on the elements that will fill those voids with productive growth and development. The stars will compliment those actions and provide the guidance you require to gain that ground, make good use of this time frame and as always enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — A healing process has begun in some way, shape or form at this time. Even though this could make you feel a bit vulnerable at first, as the week wears on you will find your strength is beginning to gain momentum and spiritual muscle mass. Good news arrives midweek regarding finances and career. You will find that you have many options to choose from during this lunar cycle Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— You may need to collaborate on a specific project with another individual you’re not really sure about at first.

Midweek a love or friendship from your past resurfaces, take note as to dates and times. You may find this to be some type of anniversary or familiarity to a significant time frame, that provides a final curtain call for healing Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Travel plans, vehicle changes and housing are all on the table this week as you look to streamline your cash flow and create a more cost affective lifestyle.

now. Prepare for change with home and property. This is a blessing Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Like clockwork your personal life has taken a major turn for the better. Could it be the efforts that you have put towards this have been recognized. Have you been able to recognize the efforts of another? Validating a loved one speaks volumes about yourself.This is the time to do it. Getting out and about will definitely help matters, not only your social sector but your business aspects as well Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Now you feel like you have a major mess to clean up. Not so fast maybe this is not your work to do.

Put this away for a rainy day Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You are so concerned about not upsetting the apple cart that you may be putting your own or a family members emotional well being in jeopardy. Be conscious that you are not inadvertently fighting a battle that doesn’t belong to you. If someone is continually pressuring you to adjust the behavior of another to suit their needs, it may be time to call it a draw. Make sure that you are not a door mat for those who have negative intentions from either direction. Just say no, don’t worry about the fallout Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You may be in need of a little getaway soon and the perfect opportunity will present itself shortly. Until then keep your nose to the grindstone and catch up with all of those annoying little tasks that are beginning to pile up enough to break the camel’s back. If you just pick away at them a little bit each

day, eventually they will all be in alignment. Of course that is not the way of the Sag, they jump into something and at 2 a.m. they are still neck deep in it. I know this because I am an archer myself. This is why many things don’t get started. Finances begin to clear up and business gets back on track this week Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — An Aries, Leo or Sagittarius woman will have some wonderful news to share with you shortly. Travel will be the topic, revolving around pleasure instead of business now. Something will manifest as summer arrives with romantic overtones. It’s a wonderful opportunity to relieve stress and to connect on a deeper level. Midweek you finally have the okay with an old work related issue. Financial windfalls arrive as a result of this Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You may find yourself a little more emotional than normal at this time. Trust and expect that the universe will protect your loved ones from harm and that everything works out as it should. If material aspects have been on the table lately pay close attention to where this might be coming from, or get them into the right hands before a complication arrives. It’s better to be safe than sorry Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — This may be hard to look at now, however; it’s very important to be on guard with a family members health or emotional well being. If you can not handle it directly than make sure that a qualified individual is aware of this situation. Know your limitations and try not to feel overwhelmed with it all. Looking the other way is not going to help anyone especially you Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

CHAMPAIGN — After the precipitous drop in crude oil prices over the past nine months, some policymakers in Illinois have advocated raising the state’s excise tax on gasoline, which has remained unchanged at 19 cents per gallon since 1990. Although increasing the gas tax might lead to a reduction both in the consumption of fuel and in a few other negative side effects like air pollution, it wouldn’t do much to address two of the biggest problems associated with driving: traffic congestion and traffic accidents, says a policy brief co-written by a team of University of Illinois economists. Increasing the number of tolls, implementing “surge pricing” on highways during rush hour or taxing the number of miles traveled by vehicles might be a better overall solution, says the paper, which was co-written by Don Fullerton, the Gutgsell Professor of Finance; Julian Reif, a professor of finance and of economics; and Kaveh Nafari, a graduate student at Illinois. While it may be the easiest fix to implement, as well as a surefire way to increase highway revenue, a higher gasoline tax wouldn’t mitigate the “negative externalities” associated with driving, the economists say. “A gasoline tax affects the consumption of gasoline, not the driving itself,” said Fullerton, also an associate director of the U. of I.’s Institute of Government and Public Affairs. “Increasing the gas tax might encourage drivers to drive less or switch to more fuel-efficient cars, but the best way to reduce traffic congestion and traffic accidents is to tax driving directly.” According to the study, the state could levy a tax on the number of miles driven based on annual odometer readings or some other technological means. “This solution has the added benefit of taxing drivers in exact proportion to their benefits: the more you drive, the more you pay,” said Reif, also a faculty associate at the IGPA. The state also could increase the number of tolls and the price for driving on tollway roads – or even institute “surge pricing” by varying the price of a toll by location and time of day, with a higher toll during congested rush-hour traffic. “This would allow tolls to target congestion and traffic accidents more efficiently, and it encourages drivers to use roads when they are less congested,” said Fullerton, who along with Reif is a faculty associate with the Center for Business and Public Policy in the College of Business. “Moreover, the primary advantage of tolls is that they collect taxes from those who benefit the most from using highways.” Another potential problem with the gasoline tax is that it is a regressive tax, rendering it “not an ideal solution” for policymakers who wish to collect taxes from those most able to pay. “The gasoline tax is not the most efficient or effective way of taxing those who receive the most

benefits from highways,” Fullerton said. “For example, drivers of plug-in hybrids derive the same benefits from the use of highways as drivers of gas-guzzlers, but the former will pay much less in gas taxes simply because they purchase less gas. But perhaps the biggest issue is that the poor spend a larger portion of their income on driving than the rich do. And so the poor would be unduly burdened by increasing the gas tax.” According to the research, vehicle travel on interstate highways in Illinois increased 25 percent between 1990 and 2012, even though the state’s population only grew by 13 percent and lane miles by 11 percent. “In short, the societal costs of driving have increased significantly, and, due to inflation, the drivers who are the main culprits of these negative externalities are actually paying less in the way of user fees like tolls and gasoline taxes,” Reif said. The state of Illinois also has consistently spent more on highways than it has collected in highway-related revenue, Reif noted. “State gasoline taxes provide only 15 percent of the total funds, which is down from 36 percent in 1994,” Fullerton said. “Since Illinois hasn’t raised the gas tax rate since 1990, revenue from the tax has declined in absolute terms over the past 25 years. That decline has been partially offset by revenue increases for tolls and, in some years, by motor vehicle taxes. But a large gap remains between total user tax revenue and total highway spending, and it has grown substantially in recent years.” According to the authors, the gap is likely to continue to grow even larger in the future. “First, real gasoline tax revenue is likely to continue decreasing due to inflation and the improved fuel efficiency of cars,” Reif said. “Second, highway spending will probably increase because the state’s infrastructure is in shambles. The American Society of Civil Engineering’s 2014 report card for Illinois infrastructure says that more than 40 percent of Illinois’ major roads are in ‘poor or mediocre condition’ and concludes that additional longterm funding sources will be required to pay for the repairs.” Although a vehicle-miles-traveled tax and increased tolls would be quite feasible to implement with current technology, they would likely face significant political pushback from drivers accustomed to “free” roads. The authors emphasized that, like the gasoline tax, a vehicle-miles-traveled tax and increased tolls would be regressive. “However, for many drivers, a vehicle-miles-traveled tax would not differ substantially from a gasoline tax,” Fullerton said. “But if policymakers’ primary goal is to collect highway revenue from those with the ability to pay, the state’s best option might be to do nothing about it and use general revenues from the income tax to pay for roads. It all depends on what the endgame is for policymakers.”

Legal experts: decision to let officer walk ‘incredible’ By Nicole Flatow thinkprogress.org

Late Monday, a Cook County judge acquitted Chicago police officer Dante Servin of several homicide-related charges for the fatal shooting of an unarmed woman standing outside with some friends near his home. It was the first time in 15 years that a police officer had been charged in Chicago for a fatal shooting. And the courtroom attendees exploded in outrage as Judge Dennis Porter announced Servin was not guilty on all charges for killing 22-year-old Rekia Boyd. But Porter’s ruling was particularly confounding because of bizarre reasoning that some legal experts are calling “incredible.” In an opinion that lamented Servin was never charged with the more severe crimes of first- and second-degree murder, Porter suggested he was acquitting Servin and sending him home without any punishment because the involuntary manslaughter charge against him was actually not severe enough. Servin was off duty when he fired the shots. He encountered a group gathered in an alley while driving through in his Mercedes sedan. As he drove the wrong way down the alley after an altercation, he said he thought he saw one of the men reach for a gun and fired several shots over his shoulder at individuals who had their backs to Servin. Servin hit 22-year-old Rekia Boyd in the back of the head, killing her. “He was constantly shooting,” Icka Beamon testified, who was in the alley that night and ran for cover. “He was trying to kill all of us.” Porter, the Cook County judge presiding over the case, agreed that Servin was acting intentionally when he fired his gun. In fact, he said in his ruling, Illinois courts have long held that when a defendant “intends to fire a gun, points it in the general direction of his or her intended victim, and shoots, such conduct is not merely reckless,” but “intentional” and “the crime, if any there be, is first degree murder.” In a bizarre turn of reasoning, Porter suggests that since the first-degree murder charge is not on the table, and the crimes with which he

was charged — involuntary manslaughter and reckless discharge of a gun — require that Servin was reckless, Servin cannot be convicted of any crime at all. Lamenting that both sides might “benefit from some closure on this question,” he nonetheless concludes that the law compels him to acquit Servin of all charges. Porter’s reasoning doesn’t clearly square with several fundamental principles of criminal law, according to legal experts. The concepts of “recklessness” and “intent” are criminal law concepts that describe what is an element of almost every criminal offense — state of mind. In homicide cases, for example, state of mind (known as mens rea) is directly correlated to the severity of the crime — offenses that require mere “recklessness,” or “consciously disregard[ing] a substantial and unjustifiable risk” — typically carries a lower punishment than murder crimes, which require the prosecutor to prove intent, because intentional acts assume a higher level of malice. Porter asserts that a defendant who does something intentionally could not have also been reckless, and thus should not be convicted of anything at all. But this distinction between recklessness and intent “really doesn’t make any sense at all,” University of Illinois law professor Marareth Etienne told ThinkProgress. At least under the national criminal law standard known as the Model Penal Code that all first-year law students are taught in Criminal Law 101, a higher state of mind such as intent “always proves a lower level,” in this case, recklessness. Recklessness “just means that you were aware of a risk and you didn’t take the proper precaution. So clearly if you shoot at somebody and you shot in a crowd you’re aware of a risk that they’re gonna die,” Etienne said. “This is incredible!” University of Illinois Director of Trial Advocacy J. Steven Beckett said. “It appears to me that a lesser included offense was ignored because the proof of the greater offense was obvious. This put prosecutorial decision-making under scrutiny beyond anything imaginable.” In other words, the prosecutors were punished

‘I respect Judge Porter, but at the same time I think he maybe made the case a little bit more difficult than it had to be.’ -Timothy O’Neill, professor, John Marshall Law School–Chicago

for not having charged Servin with a more severe crime. Even more remarkable, Porter came to this decision in what is known as a “directed verdict” before he even heard the defense’s arguments. “When a motion for directed verdict is made by the defense, the evidence must be considered in the light most favorable to the prosecution,” Beckett points out. “What the judge did here appears to be just the opposite!” Etienne points out several adverse consequences that would result if Porter’s understanding of the law prevailed. A defendant charged with involuntary manslaughter could get on the stand and make the very argument Porter now makes: I am not guilty of a crime of recklessness because I did this on purpose. “And by the way my trial has started so double jeopardy. You can’t go back and charge me with an intentional killing.” Double jeopardy is the constitutional notion that an individual can’t be charged twice for the same offense, and legal experts seemed to agree that double jeopardy means Porter’s ruling can’t be appealed, and that prosecutors from the same jurisdiction can’t file charges a second time around. The other adverse consequence is that most of the plea deals prosecutors now make with defendants wouldn’t make much sense: A defendant is charged with first-degree murder, for example, but pleads guilty to the lesser offense of involuntary manslaughter. “And that’s done all the time,” said Etienne. Porter does cite several Illinois cases for his conclusion. These cases primarily deal with the issue of jury instructions in the reverse situation when someone charged with a more severe intent crime wants a jury to consider a lesser offense. A murder defendant, for example, wants the judge to also instruct the jury that they can find the

defendant guilty of the lesser crime of involuntary manslaughter rather than murder. The judge rejects the defendant’s argument, on the rationale that this is a crime of intent, and not a lesser crime of recklessness. But Etienne points out that this is a very different legal argument. “To dismiss a case where recklessness was charged because intent was proven. That’s a different question,” she said, while conceding the possibility that Illinois courts would come out a different way on this question. Timothy P. O’Neill, a professor at John Marshall Law School in Chicago, questions Porter for another, different reason. “I respect Judge Porter, but at the same time I think he maybe made the case a little bit more difficult than it had to be,” O’Neill said. Even if Servin intended to fire the gun, he seemingly didn’t intend to hit Boyd. He instead intended to hit the man whom he believed was pulling a gun out of his waistband. “You can do intentional acts and still be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter based on results,” O’Neill said. Both O’Neill and Etienne agreed that Servin could have, and perhaps should have, been charged this time around with murder — a crime that requires intent. “But that does NOT mean that it is legally impossible to also find it could have been involuntary manslaughter:thedefendantcommittedvoluntary acts that recklessly killed an unintended victim,” O’Neill said. “That is involuntary manslaughter.” Nicole Flatow is a Senior Editor for ThinkProgress.

State

House taps the brakes on new specialty plates By Mark Fitton

I don’t know, but with like fraternity plates, the idea that it’s a particular color scheme it’s specific and indicative to the fraternity that I’m a part of and it seems that you’re taking some of that away with this type of change.” But D’Amico says the glut of license plates is confusing for law enforcement and must be addressed. “Right now we have almost 193 plates on the street. What are we gonna do? Wait until there’s 500, or a thousand? Because it seems we constantly have more and more plate bills coming before us.” Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, said he’s worked on such bills in the past and was happy to see this one moving along. “This makes perfect sense going forward,” Franks said. “I think it’s proper public policy and long, long overdue.”

Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — The state House on Monday pumped the brakes on the creation of new Illinois specialty license plates. The bill, sponsored by Rep. John D’Amico, D-Chicago, would have the state replace the creation of new specialty plates with specialty stickers. It sped through the House on a 108-1 vote and will now move to the Senate. At the moment, there are 193 types of valid, state-issued license plates for passenger vehicles alone, representatives said. Most of Illinois specialty plates are fundraisers for various causes, from autism awareness to wetlands preservation. Pricing for a random-number specialty plate generally involves an additional charge of $40, $15 of which stays with the state so taxpayer dollars aren’t used to make the special plates. The remaining $25 goes to the motorist’s cause. The state requires legislation authorizing a new specialty design and orders of 1,500 before it will make a new plate. A bill to bump that number to 2,000 is pending. D’Amico’s proposal, House Bill 1081, leaves intact those plates already created. But future requests for new specialty designs would get a custom sticker to add to a nearly universal Illinois plate. Those stickers would be designed by the charitable cause, but each would have to be approved by the secretary of state. The money split would stay the same. If the total users of an existing specialty plate were to drop below the minimum, it would be up the secretary of state to withdraw that style of plate, D’Amico said. The tremendous variation of plate styles and multiple identical numbers for what are all valid Illinois plates can also be troublesome for police officers and dispatchers trying to gather and convey correct information. Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, said one of the legislatures’ own recently had a car towed in Chicago because of confusion about the lawmaker’s plate number and an identical number on a different Illinois plate. “One of our colleagues had a very difficult time convincing the police and getting his car back because of the confusion brought on by the plethora of plates that we have,” Nekritz said. “I think this is a great bill and probably should have come a few years ago,” said Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove. Said Rep. David Harris, R-Arlington Heights;

Bank reporting mandate stalls in House

“It’s a great bill (and) it deserves to fly out of her with no negative votes.” Rep. William Davis, D-Lewiston, did not agree and cast the lone “no” vote.

People who seek the specialty plates usually do so for their unique and distinctive looks, including design and color scheme, he said. “Now maybe with some of the other plates,

A measure to mandate state chartered banks TO report the number of minority and women owned businesses seeking loans stalled in the House but could come up for a vote in the future. House Bill 2542 would require banks with a state charter to report the demographics of who is seeking business loans. But opponents of the proposed regulations say it would go after smaller banks, not the large banks that do most of the business. Democratic Representative Jack Franks voted present because he is on boards for several financial institutions but says the proposal is misguided. “And it will just increase costs. We won’t get anything more out of it. And it’s just a bill that we don’t need.” Franks says some of the questions the bill would require community banks to ask are off limits. Sponsor, Democratic Representative Monique Davis, says the bill is necessary to find out why some people get loans and others don’t. “Banks will continue to make great profit and we don’t object to that. But we just think when you’re shutting out a number of people, a group of people, who cannot reach the American Dream, who cannot do what other people can do because they’re not given equal opportunity.” As votes were being tallied, falling short of the necessary majority for passage, Representative Davis called for postponed consideration which allows the measure to be brought up for a vote in the future.

Azro Edwin Goodwin: ‘It’s all right’

Could the corn carryout reach 2 billion bushels?

By Kathi Kresol Columnist

zro Edson Goodwin was born in Chelsea, Vermont on August 11, 1827 to John and Sally Goodwin. Azro’s family struggled with poverty during his childhood and maybe this beginning would be the catalyst for his drive as a young man. Azro’s thirst for knowledge began as a small boy and only increased as he reached manhood. He read everything he could get his hands on and when just a young man, he set his sights on being a doctor. Azro spent any spare time he had doing numerous jobs from teaching to cutting firewood to pay his way through school. It took him a long time but he entered Berkshire Medical School in Pittsfield, Massachusetts where he would eventually graduate with honors. Azro started his medical career in Clintonville, New York and it was there that he wed Adelia Fields on July 8,1852. They moved to Rockford in 1854 into a home at 726 Jefferson Street. Azro and Adelia quickly became popular in early Rockford’s Society. By 1857, he was the Assistant Health Officer for the city and also maintained a large medical practice. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Azro enlisted as a an officer in the 11th Infantry

Division and then joined the 108th Division. Azro was appointed the title of Assistant Surgeon for the battlefields. He would tell his friends and family of the awful things he saw as a surgeon during that “wretched rebellion.” Azro would also share stories of the soldiers’ bravery during the battles. Azro’s regiment was sent to Vicksburg where he was horribly wounded in the stomach. Azro would suffer from this wound the rest of his life. After the war, he was elected as the Postmaster for the city. The Goodwins had two daughters, one, Carrie Field Goodwin was born on August 22, 1853 before they left New York. She unfortunately passed away while still a little girl in 1861. Their other daughter, Nellie born in Rockford in 1856, would marry Robert Rew who would become a well known attorney. Azro was part of the group of local doctors that requested a charter for a hospital from the secretary of state of Illinois which was granted December 15, 1883. Rockford’s first hospital, Rockford Memorial opened in 1885 in the former home of Dr. William H. Fitch on the corners of South Court and Chestnut Streets. Azro and Adelia would live the rest of their lives in Rockford. Azro joined many civic organizations and served as a member of the G.A.R. and in the Rockford Lodge of Masons. He was a member of the District Medical Association and represented the local chapter of that organization at state and national gatherings. Azro shared his belief in the benefits of an education by belonging to the city board of education and on the public library board. In April of 1889, Azro started to complain of pains in his chest and became completely bed ridden. Adelia and Nellie took care of him until the very end and Nellie told a reporter that her father suffered for over one hundred days, each breath an agony. Azro finally passed away on May 14, 1889, surrounded by his friends and family. Even to his last, he tried to comfort those around him. “It’s all right”, were the last words he spoke.

URBANA – The last time the United States ended a marketing year with more than 2 billion bushels of corn was 2004-05. At that point in time the “old era” marketing-year average corn price was $2.06 per bushel. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist John Newton, while “new era” corn prices have experienced record highs, those high prices have been reduced on the back of record corn production in 2014. Now, followed by weaker-than-anticipated firsthalf implied feed and residual use of corn, some expect the 2014-15 marketing-year ending stocks of corn to be within reach of 2 billion bushels. Recent trade guesses for 2014-15 marketing year, corn-ending stocks averaged 1,854 million bushels, and ranged from 1,750 to 1,999 million bushels. “On the bright side, with respect to both oldand new-crop grain prices, the consumption levels needed to reach a 2-billion-bushel carryout result in a stocks-to-use ratio of only 14.8 percent,” Newton said. “Based on a recent price and stocks-to-use analysis, the implied corn price associated with a 2-billion-bushel carryout may be consistent with the current marketing-year projection of $3.70 per bushel. “The cause for concern is the price implications associated with a potentially big crop in 2015 given anticipations for a large carryout in 2014-15,” Newton added. “March intentions revealed expectations for 89.2 million acres of corn planted in 2015. If stocks come in above current projections, a larger-than-projected corn yield with marginally lower corn consumption would combine to push corn prices in 2015-16 to prices below those currently experienced.” Newton provided this review of the ongoing pace of corn consumption by category as it pertains to potential beginning stocks for 2015-16. Based on the March 1 Grain Stocks report implied feed and residual use for the first half of the marketing year was 3,648 million bushels. This total represents 69 percent of the USDA’s marketing-year projection of 5,250 million bushels. (April 13 USDA Feed Outlook will provide revised estimates of feed and residual use.) In previous years the percent of first-half feed and residual use has varied from 64 percent during 1996-97 to 2005-06 to as high as 74 percent during the most recent 2010-11 to 2013-14 marketing years. Applying these historical percentages to the implied first-half feed and residual use suggests a wide range for the 2014-15 marketing year between 4,900 and 5,700 million bushels. “It is no coincidence that following the March 1 stocks report the average trade guess for corn-ending stocks fell within a 250 million bushel range,” Newton said. A similar situation emerged last year following the March 1 stocks report. At the time, the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates

Report (WASDE) projection for 2013-14 feed and residual use was 5,300 million bushels and first-half feed use was 3,765 million bushels, approximately 71 percent of the WASDE projection. Ultimately, feed and residual use declined to 5,036 million bushels, with first-half use representing 75 percent of the marketing-year total. With respect to exports, Newton said the April 9 USDA WASDE projections have 2014-15 corn exports at 1,800 million bushels. USDA’s April 6 Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) report indicated that as of the week of April 2, cumulative corn exports for the 2014-15 marketing year totaled 917 million bushels. USDA Foreign Agricultural Service’s Global Agricultural Trade System census data through February 2015 indicate that corn exports totaled 810 million bushels and were 65 million bushels higher than the FGIS inspection numbers through February. Newton said that, assuming this pace continues, corn exports through February may be as high as 982 million bushels, representing approximately 55 percent of the projected WASDE total. In addition to corn already exported, the April 9 USDA Foreign Agricultural Service’s Export Sales Report (FAS) revealed 566 million bushels of outstanding corn export sales. Combining the outstanding sales with the implied export volume, sales remain 252 million bushels short of the WASDE projection. “With nearly 60 percent of the marketing year in the books, corn exports need to accelerate in order to reach the 1,800 million bushel WASDE projection,” Newton said. “The current slow pace suggests that corn exports could fall marginally short of the WASDE goal. “Combining first-quarter Feed Outlook estimates of corn use for ethanol with the USDA April 1 Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report suggests first-half corn use for ethanol at 2,582 million bushels,” Newton said. “This total represents approximately 50 percent of the WASDE projection for the 2014-15 marketing year. Additionally, Energy Information Administration (EIA) ethanol plant production data show marketing-year total ethanol production of 8.6 billion gallons through the week ending April 3, 2015. This total is 5 percent above prior-year ethanol production levels. While some may point to a slowdown in corn use for ethanol in recent months based on Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production data, this slowdown could be attributable to seasonal ethanol-yield variations.” Newton concluded that, collectively, the pace of corn consumption for ethanol, exports, and feed and residual use is supportive of current WASDE projections. “A 2-billion-bushel carryout seems like a distant, and unlikely, outcome given current consumption indicators. USDA’s June 30 stocks report should provide additional clarity on the ongoing pace of corn consumption.”

MLB

Cubs cleanly out of the gate

By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

After their first 12 games this season the Chicago Cubs stand at 7-5, a number most reasonable fans should be pleasantly surprised by that. After dropping their season opener 3-0 against the St. Louis Cardinals things looked pretty familiar to most fans. They stranded a huge number of runners in scoring position, balls were dropping for base hits that should have been caught. Their hitters were striking out in key at bats. It looked like the same old Chicago Cubs were back in 2015. Following two days off, one scheduled and the other due to supposed rainy weather in the Windy City, they bounced back nicely by shutting out the Redbirds 2-0. Some quality pitching by Jake Arrieta was responsible for helping the team pick up their first win for new manager Joe Maddon. Arrieta held the Cardinals scoreless throughout the seven innings he was on the mound and tallied seven strikeouts. The Cubs went on to take two out of three from their next two opponents. They lost their first road game of the year 5-1 in the Colorado Rockies home opener. After scoring only three runs in their first three games, the Cubs offense finally came to life. In the final two games against the Rockies the team scored 15 runs. They won game two 9-5 and took game three 6-5. Things were finally starting to look a little better.

Their bats were on fire again when they returned to Wrigley to face the Reds. Thanks to a pair of two-run homers from outfielder Jorge Soler the Cubs knocked off Cincinnati 7-6 in ten innings in the first game of their three game series. Chicago dropped the middle game 3-2. In game three, Travis Wood looked a lot like Jake Arrieta did against the Cardinals a week earlier. Wood worked seven plus scoreless innings and fanned seven batters as the Cubs picked up their second shutout victory of the young season 5-0. First baseman, Anthony Rizzo hit his first homer of the year to get the Cubs off to a good start in the first inning and set the tone for the rest of the game. The Padres were the first team of the year to win a series against the Cubs. Chicago edged San Diego in the first game 5-4 last Friday. The Padres then won both weekend games, 7-6 on Saturday and 5-2 on Sunday. The Cubs are currently in the middle of their first four-game series of the year against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After taking the first game of the set the third match up is scheduled for tonight at 6:05 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet Chicago. They wrap things up with a matinee game tomorrow starting at 11:35. With their 7-5 record the 2015 Cubs are off to a half-way decent start, and with super prospects Kris Bryant and Addison Russell up with the big squad fans certainly have a lot to tune in for.

Public access tips for Wisconsin trout waters By Jim Furley Guest Columnist

his month, I want to pass on a few trout fishing tips and write about a question I was asked recently. A gentleman inquired, “Where can I go trout fishing in Wisconsin?” The Wisconsin general inland trout (catch and keep) season opens on Saturday, May 2, so now is a good time to explore this question. My first stop was to talk with trout fishing author, public speaker and angler, Len Harris, of Richland Center, Wisconsin. Harris fishes southwest Wisconsin. The brook and brown trout streams of Crawford, Richland and Vernon counties are his stomping grounds. These waters are surrounded by stunning beauty and are a short drive from the Illinois border and a reasonable drive from other cities. I know this area of Wisconsin well. Our family has a get-away cabin nestled in the scenic hills of Crawford County. Since a small child, I have spent many weekends here in what is called the Kickapoo Valley. Harris was born in the small town of Gays Mills. His boyhood home was a stone’s throw from the Kickapoo River. The West Fork of the meandering Kickapoo is one of many popular trout fishing streams in the area. Harris loves to fish and prefers “spin fishing” for trout compared to using a fly rod with

imitation flies. He enjoys the challenge of a big, intelligent brown trout. He casts large spinners to intimidate smaller fish. Each time Harris dons his trout vest, he hopes a fiercely fighting brown of over 20 inches finds his net. Many have. If you’re new to trout fishing, Harris offers these trout catching tips: “A majority of trout are looking upstream for their next meal,” Harris said. “You don’t drop the spinner or fly on their head, you put it above them and bring it down like food comes down naturally. If you drop it on their head, you’re going to spook them.” Harris also suggests wearing drab clothing. He said to wear clothes that match the environment around you so trout are not alerted to your presence. When targeting big fish, Harris said, “I always assess a hole (in the stream) and figure out where the best lay is, where the food comes down. The best lay is where the biggest trout is going to be. Big trout don’t lay at the back of the hole, they are not the subordinates in the hole.” As far as where to fish, Harris said southwest Wisconsin has, “scads of public streams.” In Crawford and Vernon County, Tainter Creek has a lot of public access. Pine and Plum Creek in Crawford County do as well. Much of this public access was purchased by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) through the

Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. The best way to access these and other streams is from DNR owned land and/or DNR purchased easements. According to the DNR website, the public easement area is “generally 66 feet of land from the stream bank on either side of the stream.” You can locate these public access points by going to the Wisconsin DNR website at dnr.wi.gov and doing further research. I recommend sitting down at your computer with a full cup of coffee, there is a lot of information to review. In addition to public access information available on the site, be sure you read the trout fishing regulations as well. You will want to keep in good graces with the local fish & game warden. The longer you study this valuable information, the more you will learn and the more fish you will catch. To help navigate through the website, I suggest you start at the homepage on the DNR website. Click in the search box and type in “Trout Stream Maps.” Click on the Trout Stream Maps link and it will take you to a column of PDF’s called, “Color Maps.” Select the county that interests you. The waters are color-coded as class 1, 2 or 3 streams. Duke Welter of Viroqua, who is the Western Great Lakes Conservation Coordinator for Trout Unlimited, suggests you focus your search on class 1 or class 2 waters. These are higher quality

(naturally reproducing) streams that may offer the angler a better chance at scoring a trout dinner. “There are over 2,500 miles of trout streams in the Driftless area,” Welter explained. Once you’ve selected trout waters that you want to study in more depth, do another DNR website search in the search box for “Land Atlas.” This will bring up a link to “Public Access Lands Maps.” Click on this link and you will see a blue “Download” button. Download the series of more detailed partial county maps that you can send to your printer. These maps will show you locations of DNR easements, DNR owned land and parking lot locations, if available. Don’t be surprised when you have to park along a roadside to access public fishing easements. If you’re looking for totally different trout fishing experience on much bigger water you can drive about 200 miles southeast until you run out of road. You’ll be on Lake Michigan at Breezy 1 Charters in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois. Captain Shawn Keulen fishes Illinois and Wisconsin waters from a 36-foot Tiara yacht, debarking from North Point Marina. Captain Keulen is excited about the 2015 Lake Michigan trout and salmon season. May and June are productive months to catch trout and salmon on the lake. “It’s one of the best times of the year,” he said.

ICEHOGS

From Back Cover

Rockford was down before the first period was half way over and Toronto carried a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes of play. First round– eighth overall draft choice 18-year old William Nylander scored the first goal of the game 4:39 into the period and Connor Brown scored the other Marlies goal 9:45 in. Rockford held a 14-8 shots advantage. The second period was dominated by Rockford, but the ‘Hogs were unable to solve netminder Christopher Gibson as Toronto carried a 2-0 lead to the final frame. Rockford now had a 29-14 lead on shots but zero goals on the scoreboard. At the end of the second period the AHL scoreboard showed the Charlotte Checkers having defeated the Grand Rapids Griffins 7-3, meaning that a Rockford victory would give them their first ever Midwest Division title. But it was not to be as ex IceHogs skater Byron Froese gave Toronto a 3-0 lead 4:53 into the third period. For Froese it was his 18th goal

of the season all but stealing the hopes of a Rockford comeback. Gibson’s shutout was finally ended on the 41st shot of the game for Rockford courtesy of Kero with five seconds remaining in the game. The 3-1 loss put Rockford in a fourth place finish in the Conference behind first place Utica and third place San Antonio, despite Rockford finishing one point ahead of San Antonio. The reason being is each division winner is guaranteed one of the top three playoff seeds. Rockford’s 99 points puts them fifth in the AHL overall, one point behind the Griffins and the Hershey Bears. Rockford embarks on the 2015 Calder Cup playoffs beginning Friday in Cedar Park, Texas. Despite Rockford holding home-ice advantage, the first two games will be played in Texas while the following three games (as necessary) will all take place in Rockford. The second game of the first round will be Saturday while the three home games are slated for Wednesday, April 29, Friday, May 1 (if necessary) and Saturday, May 2 (if necessary).

Tales from the Trough

‘Hogs fall just shy of Midwest title By Todd Reicher Exclusive to TRRT

own the stretch the Rockford IceHogs were as good as almost every team in the league with Rockford finishing up 7-3 to close out the 201415 regular season campaign. And the ‘Hogs came into the final two games of the season against the Chicago Wolves and the Toronto Marlies only one point behind the Grand Rapids Griffins for first place in the Midwest Division. Rockford needed to win out and have the Griffins drop one of their two contests against the Charlotte Checkers. The first challenge this weekend was the Chicago Wolves who were still battling for position in the playoff race. Coming into the game, Chicago was two points ahead of Toronto and a win would assure them of the seventh seed. Terry Broadhurst tallied the first goal of the game with a power play marker 18:16 into the opening period to give Rockford the first lead. For Broadhurst it was his sixth tally of the season. Chicago came out in the second period and knotted up the game at 7:13 from Yannick Veilleux. Rockford would reclaim the lead then add to late in the frame to give a little breathing room at 3-1. Reigning as one of the hottest ‘Hogs, Tanner Kero put in his fourth goal in his fifth professional game followed by a Cody Bass marker with 1:27 left. Rob Bordson pulled the Wolves back to within a goal 6:14 into the final frame. Getting his first multi-goal game of the season, Bass banked a shot from behind the blue line off Jordan Binnington, to put Rockford back up by a pair. But that advantage would only last 1:33 when Bordson struck again. Rockford fought off the Wolves late surge as Rockford won their ninth straight home game. The Griffins defeated Charlotte that night so no ground was gained on the division lead. The following night, Rockford hosted the Toronto Marlies for the final game of the regular season. Coming into the game, Rockford was sitting a number of regulars due to the upcoming opening playoff ties. Noticable absences were Phillip Danault, Zach Miskovic, Cody Bass and Ville Pokka.
