School kids sample water, check out new dock

Staff Report Last Tuesday was a great day for students participating in Burpee Museum’s Project Clear water quality work shop, just off the newly installed boat docks behind Burpee Museum, 737 N. Main Street, Rockford.

Le-Win junior high school students enjoyed a beautiful day May 3. Their teacher, Sara Hinderman, applied for and won a DNR Illinois Biodiversity Grant grant as part 8th-grade of their water cycles unit.

Dale Gahm, Cole Bardell, and Bailey Leamon, were a few of the students in the water gathering samples beside the new docks at the Burpee Center.

The Rockford Park District took advantage of the spring season to construct a new summer opportunity along the Rock River.

The dock was installed to serve the entire Riverfront Museum Park campus. Recreational opportunities along the Rock River will be enhanced this summer thanks to the Rockford Park District Foundation raising $195,046 for this project. Prairie Street Brewhouse provided space for construction crews to store equipment and have river access close to the site of the dock installation.

New this year, staff at Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens will manage daily operations of Forest City Queen and Trolley Car 36. Currently, staff from Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens, Discovery Center Museum, and Rockford Art Museum are working together to provide programming opportunities for groups of 15 or more. Group tours on the Forest City Queen will take place every Tuesday, June 7, 2016 through September 6, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Group tours include a 45-minute cruise down the Rock River towards Martin Park, and then looping back; tours can also be customized based on the group’s interest.

“We are excited to be able to dock the Forest City Queen at another very popular attraction. This

season, we are focusing on group tours, and will continue to work with the Rockford Park District Foundation on fundraising efforts for a speedier boat, which would allow us the opportunity to create a water taxi service,” said Kelly Moore, Forest City Queen Operations Manager.

Frank Schier, as a board member of the Illinois Renewable Energy Association and founder and coordinator of the Rock River National Water Trail, has been championing electric boats for the Park

District’s proposed water taxis.

The Park District has been very supportive of the Rock River National Water Trail, by building campsites and providing signage, including a new sign at the new docks. The docks may also be used by area boaters wishing to visit the many exhibits at the Burpee Museum and Discovery Center. Boaters might even be able to watch some dance classes at Rockford Dance company or enjoy many other features at the Riverfront Museum Park campus.

Stop on by, and dock on the inside slips if you wish to stay a while, so the Forest City Queen can dock on the outside of the long pier. A smaller dock is also available for canoes and kayak at the site.

To book a group tour or inquire about group rates, contact Joy Weyrauch, Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens, at 815-969-6036, joyweyrauch@ rockfordparkdistrict.org, or Nancy Blank, Discovery Center Museum, at 815-972-2835, Nancyb@ discoverycentermuseum.org.

Energy & Environment

Growing indicators of fading biodiversity

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

W

e are frequently reminded that we are living during the sixth great extinction. Although previous extinctions occurred as a result of natural phenomena and disasters, this one is caused by one of the threatened species: humanity. As our numbers grow, other species fade. The human world population, now estimated at over 7 billion, stood at only 2.5 billion in 1950. We now consume 38 percent of the land area in the world for the production of crops. Over 97 percent of the world’s land mammals, by weight, are humans, our pets and domestic livestock, leaving less than 3 percent as wild, or natural. There are approximately 24 billion chickens – domestic birds – on the planet.

Natural ecosystems, which operated in a balance in which each species contributed to the system’s health and the health of the other species, are dwindling.

A recent article, Catastrophic shifts in ecosystems, published in the journal, Nature, refers to influences which have led to dramatic shifts in conditions in the world’s great ecosystems: “lakes, coral reefs, oceans, forests and arid lands.”

These systems are naturally diverse, producing balance and resilience. As they become less diverse, they are less able to maintain themselves.

While some threats to species, such as air and water pollution, are obvious, others, such as habitat fragmentation, leading to “virtual islands,” can be just as damaging. Plants are unable to move between these islands so lack their basic needs of moisture, sunlight, and temperature and cannot thrive. While animals can move, many cannot travel the gaps between islands to satisfy their basic needs of habitat and food or interbreeding for species robustness.

While many of the human induced changes are subtle and not easily noticeable, others, such as earlier bird migrations and blooming dates for flowers, can be clearly observed by most.

Worldwide tree death, while not easily comprehended, can be recognized by the fading species including elms, oaks, and ash, which people live with and love. A presentation at this year’s Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair by two staff members of the Leopold Center will address changes in phenological data, or biological timing. Records were initiated by Aldo Leopold, the famed ecologist, in the 1930s, were continued until 1998 by his daughter, Nina Leopold Bradley, and are currently maintained

by Center researchers.

Amphibians are the most highly threatened of all animal groups; they are extremely sensitive to environmental changes and are susceptible to many of them. While related, fewer species of reptiles are endangered. Birds in decline are sensitive to habitat degradation and loss. About 700 North American freshwater fish are in peril.

Mammals, especially primates and marine mammals, are also imperiled. About one-fifth of them are slipping toward extinction.

Invertebrates, composing about 97 percent of total animal species, are also in decline. About one-third of those known are threatened. One of the best publicized ecosystems under threat, coral reefs, composed of invertebrates, will be addressed at the Fair by Philip Whitford, who has studied reefs with his students for years and will present his first-hand information.

While animals can move when their habitat is in decline, plants, the foundation of ecosystems, the base of food chains, and the source of many medicines, cannot move quickly enough to survive.

Fortunately, efforts to preserve and rehabilitate natural areas with their multiple benefits are ongoing. Excellent examples in this region include the Byron Forest Preserve with over 2,000 acres in eight sites, Nachusa Grasslands with

over 3,000 acres, and holdings of the Natural Land Institute. All three maintain prairie, woodland, and wetlands. Numerous smaller sites are managed by relatively small organizations.

Restorationists use seed harvesting and planting or overseeding, prescribed burns, and invasive species management as the major techniques to improve the quality of degraded sites and maintain the health of those still of high quality.

They refer to natural remnants for information they need on natural areas composition.

Nachusa Grasslands has recently added a herd of bison, keystone species in North American prairies, as restorationists. They anticipate that these native animals will control excessive grass growth, expanding high-quality areas and requiring less human effort to do so. Additionally, they are protected so that they will thrive and their numbers will increase.

Representatives of these organizations will have exhibits at the Fair where interested visitors can learn more about their work and how they might become involved.

The Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair will include concerns about changes in ecosystems and provide optimistic alternative strategies for coping.

Area chess players accept Grandmaster’s challenge VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Fifty-two of the Rockford area’s bravest chess players dared to match wits with chess Grandmaster Yury Shelman at a Simultaneous Exhibition held Saturday, April 16 in the KenRock Community Center gym in Rockford.

Yury Shulman, achieved his grandmaster title in 1995. Shulman moved to the United States in 1999 to attend University of Texas at Dallas, a three-time national championship college team. Shulman has remained among the top U.S. chess players since moving to the country. He tied for first in the 2001 World Open, was runner up in the 2006 U.S. Chess Championship, and winner of the 2006 U.S. Open Chess Championship. Shulman tied for third place in the 2007 U.S. Chess Champion-

ship and qualified for the 2007 FIDE World Championship. On May 21, 2008, Shulman won the 2008 U.S. Chess Championship. On May 25, 2010, he tied for first in the U.S. Chess Championship in St. Louis, losing in a rapid tiebreak with GM Gata Kamsky, who became the U.S. Champion. He now plays in the U.S. Chess League, for the strong St. Louis Archbishops, whose roster includes Hikaru Nakamura.

Yury friendly checkmated or accepted the resignation of player after player, from grade schoolers to gray hairs. Every game ended with a handshake and a smile. Hats off to the challengers for keeping the Grandmaster there longer than he thought it would take to topple 52 kings.

Due to determined opposition, near the end of the simultaneous match, Yury was pressed for time. His wife had arrived and was waiting.

Enough chess already. The Grandmaster and the Grand Mrs. had 7:30 tickets, up close, to see a magician at the Coronado. And yes, Yury finished 52-0.

Thanks to Roland Brown, member of the United States Chess Federation (USCF), and recent resident of Rockford, for directing the

The Rock River Times | RockRiverTimes.com | May 4-10, 2016 | event and bringing such a personable Grandmaster to town. Special thanks to John Guth, native of Rockford, and Director of Ken Rock Community Center, who once played Arthur Bisquier, another Grandmaster, in a simultaneous game over 40 years ago at the same facility, for opening his doors for this special event to take place again.

KNIB holds clothing recycling drive at area Schnucks May 14

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful volunteers will collect donations of clothing at all Rockford area Schnucks Markets, including Cherry Valley, Loves Park, Rockford and Roscoe, as well as in Boone County at the Belvidere Township Office, 8200 Fairgrounds Road, Saturday, May 14, from

11

9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“No need to add clean clothing that’s no longer needed to the landfill, when it can be re-used or repurposed,” said Lori Gummow, executive director of Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful.

“Not only is there a need for clothes throughout the world, but what can no longer be worn can be used to make fiberfill for items like the lining in the trunk of your car,” she said. All items should be dry, and in plastic bags with hangers removed. No boxes.

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful is recruiting volunteers for a three-hour shift, either 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., or 11:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., to staff each donation site. The agency will accept such items as men’s, women’s and children’s clothing and shoes, hats, belts, purses, soft-sided luggage, throw rugs, curtains, stuffed toys, sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. Bag handlers lift items from donor cars; greeters will provide a calendar of other recycling events and offer an opportunity to receive updates about future activities. About 100 volunteers are required to staff all nine sites.

Event support is provided by Schnucks; Mid-West Family Broadcasting; The Rock River Times; 23WIFR Gray Television, Inc.; Belvidere Township; and other local businesses providing trucks and supplies. This event is the environmental non-profit’s first of three clothing drives this year; the summer event is scheduled for July 9, the fall one will be held October 8. Clothing is also accepted at the two Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful Recycle Center locations open each week at 13125 North 2nd Street, Roscoe, or 4665 Hydraulic Road, Rockford.

On behalf of the entire RAMI Awards planning committee I would like to offer huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the performers, presenters, techs, volunteers, sponsors and patrons who helped us bring our 25th year to a successful close. Pulling off a 4.5 hour (yeah, we went kinda long this year), unrehearsed, live show that includes ten widely diverse musical acts scattered in amongst an army of presenters and award recipients would be impossible without large degrees of both professionalism and forbearance being exhibited by all the participants.

We want to congratulate not only the award recipients but also all of the groups and individuals who were nominated by their peers in the music world to appear on the ballot at some point in the selection process. You all must juggle rehearsals, performances, family and probably a day job (or two) to ply your craft in a world that all-too-often seems indifferent to your efforts. But, whether you’re performing for a packed house at the Coronado or an intimate crowd at Just Goods our community is greatly enriched because of your love of music.

To our scholarship recipients we wish you the best of luck in your in your studies and future careers and hope our small contribution will assist your musical endeavors.

We would be remiss if we didn’t also offer a special shout out to all of the men and women at the Tebala Shrine Center for their incredible support over the years. We could not do what we do without their assistance and… patience.

We hope that everybody will take the time to check our website (ramiawards. com) periodically to keep informed about our future events and to submit your performance dates for our calendar. Information about viewing the video of this year’s ceremony will be posted in the next few weeks as well as a link to some great photos by Tom Leu. Finally, I personally want to urge all of the musicians, techs, promoters and venue operators in the Rockford area to join the RAMI Association. It doesn’t cost much ($10/year; $15/2-years). Besides providing admission to the awards ceremony and a few other discounts it is the only way to become an integral part of the RAMI selection process.

We will begin accepting nominations for next year’s awards sometime this summer and we hope that an even greater number of area musicians will join the effort to make these awards truly representative of the Rockford area’s rich and diverse music culture. If we are to keep this train rolling for another twenty-five years we need you all to jump onboard.

Thank you Bruce Hammond RAMI co-founder and Executive Committee Vice-chair

VIBE Entertainment | RAMIs 25th Anniversary

Remember and honor ‘The Day After Tomorrow’

By Frank Schier

T

Editor & Publisher

he 2004 Tom Waits album “Real Gone” has a song about a soldier returning home written by Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan, a southern Wisconsin native, called “Day After Tomorrow” with the following lyrics in it: “Miss old Rockford town up by the Wisconsin border. What I miss you won’t believe, shoveling snow and raking leaves.”

Well it’s the Day After Tomorrow in the 25th year of the Rockford Area Music Industry Awards, and we must honor this town’s musical veterans, Hall of Famers, and Lifetime Achievers who all shoveled plenty of snow and raked in piles of measured memories for themselves and for all of us fans.

Yes, we are veterans of the culture wars and loves that have shaped this town and our local music scene, with venues, bands and music makers and their personal battles and victories disappearing in the smoke of time. Yet, every day, new venues, bands and music makers appear out of the mist of creativity.

Let us lift the clouds in our memories and remember through the falling snow and leaves the talent that has shined brightly and passed in a whisper through the last 25 years. Peer over life’s border and see again the smiles, songs and stars now gone. Let us call their names into tomorrow: The multi-talented Publisher of RAM Magazine, promoter, encourager and co-founder of the RAMIs Gary S. Wilmer, friends Brian Gifford, Paul Kissick, Art Casteneda, Kevin Peterson, Ralph & Marilyn Nielsen, Stan Reese, Johnny Porrazzo, Val Eddy, Peter Gianquinto, Wilbur & Carmen Pursley, Ernie “Sugar Lips” Brown, Maxine Holler, Bill Doll, Julian De Luna, Helen Armstrong, Lois Peterson, Jason Phillips, Richard “Dick” Burgess, Mike Alongi, Cono Laloggia, Ric Ruiz, Dave “Colonel” Leis, Vincent Chiarelli, Doug Furze, Kay Koster, Clyde Bachand, Harold Smith, Wilbur Johnson, Vito J.

Their smiles, songs and stars have inspired us to reach for greater heights, and the following Rockfordians have and are performing for this nation and the world: Charlotte’s Web’s Steven Powers, Ruby and Gus Howard; Jazz singer, composer, lyricist Kurt Elling; one of the first Suzuki teachers in the US and founder of the

We also have some recent scholarship additions: the Kim & Ruth MacCloskey RAMI Music Scholarship and the RAMI Young Artists Music Scholarship. With this year’s winners to be added, 43 students have been awarded a total of more than $60,000. So in the 20 years of these scholarships, we have raised more than $120,000! Everyone who has supported the RAMIs should give yourselves a hand because you are the helping hands to the future for musical talent in our area.

One last thing: we have 25 years of thank yous due for all the volunteers who have made the RAMIs possible. Would anyone who has ever helped the RAMIs in anyway, go the mirror and give yourself a silver smile. You helped an idea become a significant community event and community contributor for 25 years.

Again, enjoy the spring. Enjoy the summer.

Thanks for the day after tomorrow.

Light opera comes to Mendelssohn

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

T

he Rockford Operetta Party presents Trial By Jury at the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center, 415 N. Church Street, Friday, May 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door.

Rockford Operetta Party Founder and Director, Scott Farrell, is also music director at Cherry Valley United Methodist. He has been producing and singing in light opera since the age of 18.

“The goal of the Rockford Operetta Party is to provide residents of the Rockford area with recurring opportunities to attend or participate in English light operas of genuine artistic merit, and provide a unique entertainment experience that is unlike anything else in Rockford,” said Farrell.

Musical direction is done by Gregory Gyllsdorff. Gyllsdorff is a member of the American Guild of Organists. He received his BFA and MFA from Carnegie Mellon University, and furthered his studies at the Conservatoire de Musique in Fontainbleau, France.

The cast includes: Vincent Dore, Scott Farrell, Sara Lemen, Elizabeth Magargal, Shane Magargal, Lowell Nafzinger, Elizabeth LaGrande O’Leary, Kara Pivarski, Kurt Schoening, Leigh Sterrenberg, Jessica Tifft, Ronald Weber, and Emily Wick.

The Rockford Area Arts Council is proud to have supported this program with an

action grant and the rest of the costs are covered by donors.

In 1875, Gilbert and Sullivan were inspired by opera impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte to write a one-act, light opera titled Trial By Jury.

Its success lead to the creation of 12 more operas together, including HMS Pinafore and The Mikado.

NEW!!

SMTD now offers your “Ticket To Ride”

Trial By Jury will feature costuming, scenery and stage action, which the ROP is very excited to undertake.

The program concludes with selections from The Mikado, including the delightful trio Three Little Maids from School, the humorous I’ve Got a Little List, and the Mikado’s motto that “the punishment fits the crime”.

Huntsman entertaining but lacking any plot

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

T

he success of Snow White and The Huntsman had Universal Pictures greenlight a sequel within months of its release. A love scandal involving director Rupert Sanders and star Kristen Stewart caused the intended story to be shelved taking the series in a new direction with a director. The Huntsman: Winter’s War was announced as a prequel/sequel that would concentrate on Chris Hemsworth’s Eric while Stewart’s Snow White would be notable by her onscreen absence.

Despite being billed as a prequel, the majority of the film takes place after the events of the first film with the first 20 minutes being nothing more than a glorified prologue. Plot points are rushed over to introduce two new players in the Ice Queen (Emily Blunt) and Sara (Jessica Chastain). It gives some much needed backstory but the frenetic pace in which it’s told could have benefited from a gentler approach. It only serves to skip over the first film and have audiences concentrate on this one, sans Stewart.

The plot is weak, as Eric is tasked with

tracking down the Magic Mirror that has been stolen. It’s overblown and hammy with some cheesy dialogue. It’s also a lot of fun. The script is full of wit with a few one-liners to help light-

en the tone of a visually striking but dark film.

Director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan doesn’t skimp on the action allowing excitement to trump the predictability of the story.

There isn’t any great revelations in Winter’s War and anyone that’s seen the trailer will have seen the basic skeleton of the film. Fans of the previous installment may feel stiffed that Snow White has been relegated to the background, but if you’re after a strong female hero then Sara more than fills that role. Chastain is as alluring as she is dangerous, never shying from a fight and proves to be a match for Eric.

There’s no denying Hemsworth’s natural charm and although he doesn’t have to stretch acting talent too much here, his natural likeability makes it easy to invest in his Huntsman even if there’s no depth to the character.

The personal issues of the talent gave the studio a headache with regards to a followup first time around, however poor reviews and a lackluster box office may make their decision to, or not to as it may be, progress with a third entry a little easier. It isn’t the epic fantasy series that some may have hoped for but The Huntsman: Winter’s War is energetic popcorn fodder that puts a spin on a well-known fairy tale.

Netflix isn’t in the business you think it’s in

By Amanda Lotz The Conversation

N

etflix has been in the headlines a lot recently, and not in a good way.

There’s news about competitor Amazon launching a monthly video service, subscription fees going up, its library of content shrinking and lower global subscriber gains than the company had anticipated.

But since its launch in 1997, Netflix has always been in the headlines.

Its forays into new territory are often met with suspicion and negative forecasts because of the way it diverges from traditional business models, doing things others have deemed impossible.

As a professor of media studies who researches and writes about TV’s changing business and technological landscape, I’ve been watching Netflix’s growth and evolution with great curiosity.

The company, which arguably invented the U.S. subscription streaming business, continues to change how we view television.

Now, as Netflix braces itself to disrupt the model of global television distribution, the company appears poised to remain influential – though, again, in unexpected ways.

It started with a red envelope

For a brief refresher: Netflix began as a video rental by mail service. It then pioneered broadband video distribution, forcing the television and film industries to evolve or be left behind.

Next it proved a broadband-distributed service could produce its own films and series.

The latest round of headlines comes as the company pivots toward its next endeavor: becoming a global television and film network.

Like many companies seeking to enter established industries, Netflix built itself on a barely sustainable business model. Companies that require changes in consumer behavior – like Amazon, with its vast online marketplace – will endure low profit margins for a period of time to encourage people to try their service, whether it’s renting DVDs by mail or buying toothpaste from what you thought was a bookseller.

In Netflix’s case, in order to prove itself as a source of top-rate programming, the company has spent lavishly on licensing content from studios and on developing its own series and movies. All the while, it maintained a low monthly fee of $8 – about half that of HBO Now. But now that many millions of U.S. subscribers have come to appreciate the experience of adfree television and films on demand, long-term sustainability requires increasing profitability.

A 2015 report by industry analyst Matthew Ball noted that Netflix earned only a monthly profit of $.28 per subscriber (compared with $3.65 for HBO) as a result of its high programming costs,

low subscription price and global expansion.

Though profitable – which is more than many new media economy businesses can claim – such margins aren’t feasible in the long term.

Now, the company is simply adjusting prices to increase profits.

Notably, even with the planned rate increase, few entertainment sources offer comparable value. A January 2016 analysis by BTIG Research found the average Netflix subscriber streams two hours a day. That average subscriber will pay just 17 cents per hour of content after the increase to $10 per month.

Going global by cutting out the middleman

For U.S. subscribers, it is important to note the company’s next aspirations are more about the global market and becoming a global television network than growing its U.S. audience. Netflix’s ability to create original programs and simultaneously self-distribute them internationally marks a new stage of competition in media distribution.

This has enormous implications for the business of television. Admittedly, they’re the parts of the business that most viewers know nothing about, but they’re parts that are nonetheless critical to sustaining media companies.

Netflix’s next strategy bets on vertical integration – that is, on owning its content and using its distribution system to deliver that content to its subscribers. Owning rights and distributing direct to viewers allows Netflix to keep all revenues, rather than sharing with distributors.

For example, a distributor such as iTunes keeps

roughly 30 percent of the revenue from the albums, tracks or films it sells.

Reliance on vertical integration is becoming more common throughout television. Ten years ago, AMC contracted with Lionsgate Television to produce “Mad Men.” As was the norm, Lionsgate later sold the series to various channels around the world to earn back the costs of production and even secured a lucrative licensing deal with Netflix. Now AMC has its own AMC Studios to produce “The Walking Dead” and has purchased channels around the globe so that it can self-distribute its hits to a wider audience.

While this new stage of Netflix may be best thought of as a global “network,” the fact that it offers a library of content for a fee, rather than a schedule that limits viewers to watching programs at certain times, makes it part of a wholly new phenomenon.

And new things are often tricky to evaluate.

Music streaming services Pandora and Spotify have tried a similar model, but continue to struggle with converting users from advertiser-supported versions into more lucrative subscription versions. Oddly, the closest precursor for Netflix’s business model may be the circulating libraries of the 1700s.

These libraries existed before public libraries, when books were too expensive for most to afford. Like Netflix, subscribers paid a periodic fee for unlimited access to a library of content. For Netflix, the big difference from these libraries – and from music streaming services – is that they are owning more and more of the content that they’re distributing.

It’s not TV, it’s Netflix

The measures long used to evaluate television – ratings, demographics, time slot – don’t matter to Netflix.

Instead, the value of an original series like “Narcos” comes when the company owns the series in perpetuity and can distribute it on a global scale. When a distributor owns a show, its value cannot be measured by how many watch it in the first week, month or even year. Netflix is building a library, not a schedule.

Interestingly, HBO is its closest competitor.

Like Netflix, HBO produces a portion of its content, has a business model based on subscriber fees and is working toward a global broadband-distributed service.

Both will try to find the right balance of subscriber fees and spending on exclusive, original content to maintain subscribers. As broadband-distributed services, they also are able to gather data about what subscribers watch to learn much more about viewing patterns and the value of each piece of content. And they’ve kept that knowledge to themselves, creating an unprecedented advantage.

In some ways, broadband-distributed portals such as Netflix and HBO Now are merely the next stage of television.

Just as Netflix revolutionized the experience of watching television for U.S. audiences, it’s now on the verge of rewriting the model of global television distribution.

Tipsy History: Brewing from the 1800s to Today - Midway Village Museum, 6:30–8:30 p.m. The museum will present this program in two parts. Part I: The first part of the program is Sara Pfannkuche, a home-brewer and Midway Village historic interpreter, presenting on how and why women in the 19th century commonly brewed beer for the health of their family.

In order to stay healthy, most people believed that they could make the water safer by “brewing” it into beer or wine. Open fire brewing (or cooking on the stove) was a typical chore for women during this time.

Sara will perform a live demonstration on how open fire brewing occurs, showcasing the ingredients used and the process by actually cooking up the first-stage of beer production which is called wort. Part II: The second half of the program will be a presentation by Prairie Street Brewhouse.

Discover the beginnings of one of the first breweries in the nation, with Jonathan Peacock starting the Rockford Brewery in 1849, grinding malt in a hand-turned coffee mill, brewing mash in a bathtub, and delivering ale in his wheelbarrow. By 1857, he was successful enough to open the Brewhouse and Bottling Plant, which evenly grew to producing 75,000 barrels a year and completing with brewing capitols such as Milwaukee. Prairie Street Brewhouse will explore this history, show many brewing artifacts from the 1800s and 1900s, and at the conclusion, visitors will sample several of their unique brews.

Tickets are $8 for adult, $6 for Museum member. Beer samples are included free with your ticket price. Participants must be 21 years old and over. Tickets must be pre-purchased by Wednesday, May 4, and spaces will go quickly. To purchase your ticket, call 815-397-9112 or come to the Museum’s Gift Shop. No online tickets sales available for this event.

Hastert’s pension a disgrace to state

Illinois Policy

F

ormer U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Dennis Hastert will continue receiving pension payments from the Illinois General Assembly Retirement System, or GARS, despite having been sentenced to prison April 27 for a financial crime stemming from Hastert’s cover-up of his sexual abuse of high school wrestlers he coached, according to Reuters.

Hastert served six years as a representative in the Illinois House during the 1980s and receives an annual pension payment of $28,025.

The former U.S. House speaker has already received $420,524 in pension payments from GARS, though he contributed only $19,805 to his GARS retirement fund.

Despite the 2010 financial crime to which he pleaded guilty and his admitted sexual abuse of high school students, GARS has no plans to end Hastert’s pension payments because the crimes occurred outside of Hastert’s service in the General Assembly and “couldn’t be related to his role as an elected official,” according to Timothy Blair, executive secretary for GARS. By contrast, the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System has terminated the $16,622 annual pension payments Hastert was receiving as a retired Yorkville High School teacher and coach. Illinois law prohibits retired teachers from receiving pension payments if they commit felonies related to their work as educators.

State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Plainfield, has called for GARS to revoke Hastert’s pension.

The tragic facts in Hastert’s case are an extreme example of a public employee undeserving of a publicly funded pension. But the case raises the question of why Illinois taxpayers

are forced to fund pensions for politicians in the first place.

Why should the average retired Illinois state lawmaker receive over $58,000 per year in pension payments for what is legally a part-time job? And why should the system encourage elected representatives to linger in office for decades by rewarding career politicians with

lifetime pension payments totaling more than $2 million?

These are luxuries Illinois taxpayers cannot afford to grant their officeholders. While Illinois’ $111 billion unfunded liability makes the state’s public pensions the worst-funded in the country, GARS itself is in the worst fiscal shape of all Illinois state-worker retirement

systems. GARS has just 16 percent of the funds it needs to meet its future obligations, and Illinois taxpayers will have to pour $21.7 million into GARS in 2017 just to keep the system afloat. Politicians, on the other hand, will contribute only $1.28 million toward their own pensions that year.

Illinois has the worst credit

rating in the nation, one of the highest property-tax burdens in the country, and a combined federal, state and local tax burden so high that in 2016 Illinoisans have to work longer than residents of all but six other states to pay off their tax bill. Illinois taxpayers should not have to continue funding pensions for politicians.

The Trump comparison you haven’t heard yet

By Robert Garland The Conversation

T

he race for the Republican presidential nomination has provided pundits with ample opportunity to claim that we have reached an all-time low in terms of fractiousness, divisiveness and vulgarity.

Not so. A quick look to the Classical world lays to rest such a naive assumption.

Politics under any system of government is always a dirty business. But the Athenian political system is tied particularly closely to our own because it was – I’m tempted to say first and foremost – a spectator sport. Much of the time, meetings of the Athenian Assembly resembled an explosive televised debate, as politicians vied with each other in what was often the equivalent of a popularity contest.

We’re lucky to know so much about the workings of Athenian democracy in large part due to the writings of Athenian historian Thucydides. In the course of narrating the history of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides incorporated many pairs of speeches arguing opposing points of view that reveal how politicians sought to put down, outmaneuver and even humiliate their rivals.

Any student of Greek history, like me, cannot but admire the historian’s unparalleled understanding of the invisible web that every ambitious, skillful and ruthless politician must weave around his audience. Since there was no party system and no elected politicians either, every day in Athens was like being on the campaign trail. As a result, Athens provides a striking parallel to this year’s seemingly endless presidential primary season.

Just as the campaign trail ideally suits Trump, it was a world ideally suited to a young statesman named Alcibiades. Alcibiades was an Athenian billionaire with a larger-than-life personality to go with it. One of his biographers wrote: “Such was his charisma that even those who feared him or were jealous of him fell

victim to his charms.”

Like Trump, Alcibiades knew that the more he courted controversy, the more he would grab the limelight – and the more people would listen to him when he spoke up in the Athenian Assembly, where the important issues of the day were decided by majority vote.

Unstoppable momentum, 415 BC-style

Alcibiades didn’t have a private jet like Trump, but he did have seven teams of four-horse chariots, which he entered in the Olympic Games, winning first, second and fourth prize.

He was utterly contemptuous of convention.

Every other Athenian had a warlike symbol painted on his shield – a lion or a boar or an eagle – but Alcibiades had Eros, the god of love, painted on his. He wanted to provoke and challenge the establishment.

He seems to have had a very dim view of women. He mistreated his wife, who doted on him, by sleeping with prostitutes. When she sought to initiate a divorce, he dragged her from the court by her hair. Nobody dared raise a finger against him to protect her. And he was violent: he slew one of his slaves with a single blow of his staff.

Alcibiades didn’t deny he was a showoff. Instead he boasted of the benefits that had come to Athens as a result of his extravagance and high visibility. For him, as for Trump, politics was always personal.

“A man who thinks highly of himself should not be expected to lower himself to the general level of mankind,” he asserted. “Those who are fortunate show contempt toward those who are unfortunate, and that’s the way it is.”

An important debate

In 415 B.C., the Athenian democracy had a momentous decision before them. They were debating whether to invade and conquer

Sicily, which for Athens was the ancient equivalent of half a world away. Athens had concluded an uneasy peace with Sparta six years earlier. But no thinking person believed that the war was completely over. So voting for the expedition meant taking a huge gamble because it meant committing their resources overseas at a time when they might require them to defend Athens against attack.

A conservative general called Nicias – who was wealthy, important and much respected – got up in the assembly to argue his position.

Very sensibly, he suggested that the Athenians were in no position to control Sicily even if they could conquer the island. He then employed a disastrous political tactic; he tried to divide the older “sensible and rational” citizens like himself from the younger “ignorant and stupid” citizens - like Alcibiades. In so doing, he not only sealed his own failure, but also the eventual defeat of Athens. He had completely underestimated his opponent.

Brash Alcibiades spoke forcefully in favor of the expedition.

Nicias accused his opponent of being motivated wholly by self-interest. He claimed that the only reason Alcibiades was supporting the expedition was that he wanted to profit from it financially and enhance his prestige. Alcibiades, he claimed, didn’t care a jot for the state.

Nicias was expecting that sage counsel would prevail. How wrong he was.

Alcibiades responded by attacking Nicias for trying to divide the old from the young.

He promoted himself as the “unifier,“ just as Trump has vowed he will be a force for bipartisanship. About 15 years before this showdown, Athens had fallen victim to a plague, which carried off about a quarter of the population. It had only just recovered.

Now was the time for the state to flex its muscles again. What Alcibiades would have said if he’d thought of the phrase was, “Let’s make Athens great again!”

Compounding the blunder

When Nicias realized he was likely to lose the debate, he made his second big blunder. He recommended the assembly mobilize Athens’ full military resources.

He was gambling on the hope that this would cause the voters to back off. Instead, his speech had the opposite effect. The Athenians became even more enthusiastic and voted overwhelmingly in support of the expedition.

Two years later, they suffered a crushing defeat, from which they never recovered.

Athens’ invasion force was entirely destroyed. Sparta resumed hostilities.

To add insult to injury, Alcibiades defected to Sparta, Athens’ old enemy. He adopted the lifestyle of his conservative hosts and described democracy as “a patent absurdity.”

Trump has yet to reveal his innermost thoughts about democracy, though it may be that he, like Alcibiades, would prefer a political system in which only the wealthy have access to power. And certainly both men would have agreed that the loathing and disdain that they inspired among their rivals was fueled largely by envy of their lifestyle and success.

Alcibiades now collaborated with the Spartans and shrewdly advised them how to beat the Athenians. He even seduced the Spartan queen “so that my descendants will one day rule over the Spartans,” as he vaingloriously put it.

Like Trump, Alcibiades reveled in his own celebrity and enjoyed being at the center of a firestorm. As a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, he would have given the Donald a very good run for his money.

Letter to the Editor

We have to prioritize Alzheimer’s research I recently returned from visiting Washington D.C. where I participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum. Having been a registered nurse for 18 years, I cannot overstate the importance of medical research, care planning for people following an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis, and palliative and hospice care for patients in the end stages of dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease cost Americans more than $230 billion in 2015. Since none of the care provided slows the disease’s progression, precious lives and scarce resources are simply vanishing, and increasing the amount of research funded by the National Institutes of Health – currently less than $ 1 billion per year – is a wise investment.

For those who have been diagnosed, early, well-informed financial, legal and medical planning drastically improves a dementia patient’s quality of life, and for those in end stages, focusing on symptom management and pain and stress reduction, reduces unnecessary hospitalizations, sparing families unnecessary trauma while saving public funds.

Congressman Adam Kinzinger has been extremely supportive of Alzheimer’s Association-backed legislation during his time in office, and I want to both thank him publicly and encourage him to sponsor H.R. 3119, which will increase the availability of palliative and hospice care across the country.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of May 4-10, 2016

Get your tickets for An Evening with the Manhattan Medium, Thomas John, and Jenniffer Weigel at the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center on Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. You can contact them at 815-964-9713 for ticket information. We are still in Mercury retrograde, however; it should be a little bit smoother this week than last. Mercury retrograde continues through May 22. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You may need to make a quick decision about a legal matter or help another with a similar situation shortly. Use your trump cards with connections that you have made in the past to solidify this deal. When all is said and done everything will work out for the greatest good. By week’s end you have a plan to incorporate the weak and the strong. All is well that ends well, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— An unexpected treasure arrives from an unusual source this week. Go for it, this may have some long-term benefits as well as sentimental value for you or for someone close to you.

You are full of surprises this week and everyone is elated with your energy levels now.

Take extra precautions while traveling this month. With all of this additional activity arriving you do not have time for a transportation setback. Be cautious with children and pets, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Favorable romantic aspects arrive mid-week, when a third party provides you with additional information regarding the object of your affection. Your cash flow begins to move in the right direction allowing you to breathe with a little more fiscal ease. The mental or emotional status of a valued friend may cause you some concern. Just keep your listening ears open, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Pay close attention to the health and welfare of your loved ones or yourself during this time frame. If someone is trying to fake you out with their true comfort status, challenge them on this aspect. Many times people don’t feel they have time to be ill, so they ignore the warning signs. Keep your eyes open during this time frame, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Be very conscious of how you are treating others at this time. Frustrations may be mounting in the workforce or with added responsibilities from an elderly family member. Try not to take this out on a loved one now. They may be spread thin and could lash out unexpectedly. The damage could be irreconcilable

and regrets could follow, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — The health concern of a female could be weighing heavily on your mind this week. Try not to allow this to affect your physical well-being if you can help it. Your intuition will guide you through this process with ease. A document that you have been waiting for will arrive soon. This is way more than you expected, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — The fear of failure may be creating some turmoil for you or a loved one this week. Make sure that you are purposely seeing the cup half full at this time. You have the ability to draw strength from unexpected sources, like a well that never runs dry. Take a night out on the town to relieve some pressure.

Connecting with friends and family is key this week, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A change in your appearance will help you feel better about yourself at this time. You’re feeling really restless this week. Get out and exercise or go to a movie, you’re searching for a distraction so pick a healthy one. A message from an Aries, Leo or Sagittarius woman could put you on the edge of your seat. Wait until you hear the rest of the story before you fly off the handle, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Travel is highlighted during this time frame, as well as opportunities to expand your career into additional geographic locations. One step

at a time though, allow yourself the opportunity to rest and recuperate at some point this month. The summer months will find you overwhelmed with a demanding career schedule. Eat your Wheaties, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Pay close attention to the elements around you at this time. Someone may not be acting like themselves and could even be self-destructive. Don’t underestimate this situation under any circumstance, utilize your intuition to the fullest power this week and act accordingly. You won’t regret it, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You have been experiencing an uneasiness that you can’t put your finger on at this time. You feel responsible or think you are missing some kind of sign from the heavens now. Don’t try so hard to fix this unknown problem. By week’s end everything will come out in the open. From there an answer to a prayer will be provided, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You are in a very powerful position to make a difference in someone else’s life at this time. Make absolutely sure that this is a positive influence.

Everything you send out will come back to you in full form. You deserve to be blessed as much as the next person does, maybe this is a test to see how you handle a specific karmic task. Choose your words ever carefully at this time so that they do not come back to haunt you, Pisces.

Newsletter For The Friends & Supporters of MILESTONE, Inc.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M

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.

Mr. Green Car

Chevy rolls out its new Bolt

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

T

he electric car “wars” are heating up.

Chevrolet debuted its new all-electric car, the Bolt, at the Chicago Auto Show.

There I had the opportunity to sit in the display car, but no chance to drive it. Unfortunately, the beautiful “Red Fox” color of the display car is a custom paint job and won’t be available on production cars. Darn.

In overall size and shape the Bolt is similar to the Honda Fit and Prius C. Small four-door cars with squared off tails and hatch access to flexible seating and cargo arrangements making them all very practical small cars.

The Bolt will have a 200 mile range from the 60 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that resides under the floor and in front of the rear axle.

While it will be capable of quick charging with 480 volts, most owners will be using 240 volt chargers at home. It will take nine hours to recharge a flat battery at 240 volts.

However, hopefully you’ll have arrived home without a flat or nearly flat battery, so the recharge rate is 25 miles of range per hour. So after a typical day of running about town you will recharge in about two hours – perhaps at

night when electric rates can be discounted.

Don’t worry about finding charging stations around town, with 200 miles of range they are not needed. Long out of town trips are another story though.

I found sitting in the Bolt to be quite comfortable. It had a white interior that sort of looked like Styrofoam, but was not tacky. I like a light colored interior. I found some minor knee intrusion for both legs, but they didn’t

prompt concern.

Much of that has to do with the way I sit in the drivers seat. It featured a digital rear-view mirror – which will become more common. There was a tablet sized customizable 10.2 inch screen on the dashboard for all those things we need to do now. But the heater and air-conditioner controls were laudably more conventional, as was the console-mounted shifter.

Dual USB ports we included to charge your mobile electronics. Optional features will include collision, pedestrian, cross-traffic and blind spot alerts. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available as well as 4G LTE Internet via On Star. Ten air bags will make the unavoidable accidents much less severe.

Four-camera multi-view is a whole new world in seeing what is going on while backing up. A heads-up display of real-time driving information is controlled via steering wheel mounted switches. A Bose stereo system will

keep you entertained.

The Bolt will have a eight year/100,000 mile warranty and is priced to be about $30,000 after the Federal tax credit of $7,500. Residents of Illinois may be able to deduct an additional $4,000, bringing the cost down to about that of many cars now in the mid $20,000 range.

Ford has been announcing it will be producing an all-electric car with 200 mile range in the next year or two and have several by 2020. Tesla recently announced it is taking deposits on its affordable (similar to the Bolt) Model 3. Nissan will be upping the range of its already well-established Leaf. Chevrolet has also improved the hybrid/electric 2017 Volt considerably (a Mr. Green Car review will be out soon).

Many other automakers are on the electric vehicle bandwagon as well – so the time for driving on electricity is upon us. The Bolt should be available in late 2016. So stop on by your local Chevy dealer and tell them you want one. Make a small deposit to get a place in line.

Since we bought our used 2013 Volt in the Fall of 2013, my wife Ruth has never, repeat never, stopped at a gas station to fill it up. I do that every once in a great while. It only uses a little over 30 gallons of gas a year – and we expect that to go down now that we have a plugless wireless 240 volt charger.

So even that little routine is gone. Just drive.

And drive. For a commuter car, or for folks who rarely go out of town, or live in small towns, driving on electricity makes so much sense, and it is proven to be better for the environment no matter the source of the electricity – and yet many of us are getting clean energy from nuclear, solar and wind sources.

Planting your vegetable transplants

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Now that you’ve started planting cool season vegetables and preparing for warm season plants in the next couple of weeks, you’ll want to think about starting your transplants properly. Depth and spacing need to be properly done at the start or else it can lead to low yields, competition from nearby plants, and even spread disease.

When you purchase your transplants, many of them are grown in a soilless media. This growing material is made of vermiculite, perlite, or others that allows for the roots of the plant to develop many weeks before planting.

As you decide to purchase these, inspect the leaves and stem for any discoloration or cuts. This may be disease already on the plants that when introduced to your garden may spread to others.

You should avoid purchasing transplants that have produced small fruit already as these plants will have low yields in the future.

Transplants can be “shocked” a couple nights before by leaving the transplants outdoors before planting. This is a step that allows for the plants to get acclimated to the outdoor temperatures

after being grown indoors. Transplants should be watered thoroughly before taking them to your garden and keep the trays under shade.

The hole for each transplant needs to be the same depth as the root ball. You also want to cover the entire root ball completely as the soilless media still has valuable nutrients for the plant to use.

If you have transplants that are growing in a peat pot, be sure to cover the peat pot edge completely as this can wick away moisture from the plant and not allow the peat pot to fully breakdown.

Some plants like tomatoes can be planted at lower depths than the root ball.

Keep in mind spacing with your transplants.

While they might seem small now, many of these will grow much bigger and the recommended spacing between plants and rows needs to be followed. By having proper spacing, this will mean good yields in the summer.

Water the transplants thoroughly as you plant them. Even if the transplants are fairly wet as you remove them from their packets, they still need additional water to get growing well.

Avocados: Is It The Right Fat?

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D.

When you hear that avocados are called super foods well they are. There is a long list of reasons why this fruit is so good for you.

Avocados are a very versatile fruit.

They can be: •eaten by themselves or mixed into salads •used as toppings •used to make dressings •used to substitute for bad fats in baked goods When I help people with weight loss issues, I preach a diet that is high in good quality fats, organic proteins and lots of vegetables. Keep your carbohydrates under 50 grams a day. Avocados are high in fat, but the fat that they contain is a good fat. Avocados are high in omega 3 fatty acids which reduce cholesterol and cut the risk of heart disease.

Each cup of avocado contains about 3 grams of protein and very little sugar. It also is high in vitamins K, vitamin B5, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. Did you know that and avocado contains more potassium than a banana.

Here are just some of the benefits that this amazing fruit has: •Avocados reduce inflammation and regulate blood sugar.

•Avocadoes control blood pressure, improve vision and strengthen the immune system.

•Avocados are full of fiber which keeps your digestive system on track and keep you feeling full longer.

•Avocadoes has high levels of vitamin C and vitamin E that they contain are excellent for your skin.

When purchasing an avocado remember the shelf life is not too long. If I know that I am going to use them right away I will make sure that I purchase a ripe one but not overly ripe. It is very easy to see if one is too ripe by looking at the bottom of the fruit. I tend to buy them hard and let them soften naturally on my kitchen counter. If during the time I purchase my avocadoes and I find that I am not using them, I will store them in the refrigerator. The cold air will stop the ripening process.

Here is a wonderful recipe for your new found friend, the AVOCADO. Four A’s Salad (Avocado, Apple, Arugula, Asparagus) 1 avocado 1 apple 1 bunch asparagus 4 cups arugula 3 T extra virgin olive oil 3 T fresh squeezed orange juice 1 tsp honey DIRECTIONS Toss asparagus in 1 T. olive oil and roast in 450-degree oven ‘til browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool, then chop into two inch pieces. Whisk together remaining olive oil, orange juice and honey or agave and set aside. Chop apple into 1/2-inch pieces, peel and dice avocado into ½-inch cubes. Put arugula in large bowl and add apple, avocado and asparagus pieces, then mix in salad dressing.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

Tis the season for gardening. The Dearly Departed Sisters were sometimes gardeners – sometimes they gardened, sometimes they didn’t. Aunt Millie used to have a small garden when she lived on Glenwood Avenue here in Rockford. I don’t remember one when they lived in Racine. I do remember the gardens they had when they lived in Ellsworth, down by Bloomington. Uncle Jim worked for JI Case designing grain loaders and his family came from out in the Durand area. I think A.C. McCartney Farm Equipment at Hwys. 70 and 75 are relatives of his.

When they bought the farmette in Ellsworth, it grew ducks, peacocks, a cow, a goat, chickens, horses, and a figure 8 race track

through some gullies for cousin Bill to race his old pickup. That was pretty cool because he was only 14. They also grew a big garden and plenty of canning opportunities for the whole extended family. Ma always had rhubarb planted in the yard for pie and raspberries for jelly. I can still remember her sitting in the dirt, with her bad leg extended picking strawberries and grinning like a 12-year-old at my brother Fred’s house on Pelley Road. I think they had beans and peas in that garden, too, however I may be full of former.

Again, tis the season for gardening, so consider planting some snap peas for the following simple recipe. You could add one teaspoon of bacon drippings if you want to be piggy, or add an two teaspoons of pineapple finely sliced if you want to get Hawaiian.

Where’s the bottom for falling cattle prices?

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Cattle prices have had a rough spring. After peaking in late 2014 and early 2015, prices have been adjusting downward from very lofty peaks. High prices and profits at that time provided the incentives to expand beef production. According to a Purdue University Extension economist, expanding beef production and a remarkable recovery in total meat supplies continues to put downward pressure on cattle prices. Unfortunately, more downward price pressure is expected this summer.

Chris Hurt provided this report.

Finished cattle prices reached their yearto-date high in the third week of March near $140 per hundredweight. Since that time, prices have fallen to the mid-$120s with much of this drop coming in the past week or two.

This $15 drop is much more than the average seasonal decrease in prices for this time of year.

Prices in the live cattle futures market paralleled the decline in the cash market. June futures had a year-to-date high at $131.35 before closing near $115 at the end of April.

The $16 decline for June futures was of similar magnitude to the decrease in cash prices.

Beef production this year has been up 3 percent. The increase has been composed of about 1 percent higher cattle numbers and nearly 2 percent higher cattle weights. So far this year, live marketing weights have averaged 1,378 pounds compared to 1,352 pounds for the same period in 2015. Going back two years, market weights are up 48 pounds from 1,330 pounds during the first four months of 2014.

That means weights are up 3.6 percent over the past two years.

An apparent reason for the sharp decline in prices over the past several weeks has been an escalation of slaughter numbers.

April numbers were up about 5 percent on average, but with two weeks being 6 percent to 7 percent above the same weeks in 2015.

Cattle on Feed data from USDA suggest that on-feed numbers had grown last fall. This meant that marketings were able to rise this year, thus providing the more recent surge of cattle. Monthly marketings of cattle from feedlots were up 5 percent in February and 7 percent in March.

Recent heavy placements of cattle into feedlots are keeping futures markets nervous about continued large beef supplies into the summer and fall. Placements were up10 percent in February and up 5 percent in March.

In addition, feedlot managers have been more aggressive at placing heavier cattle that

will reach market weights more rapidly this summer. For the first three months of 2016, placements of cattle 700 pounds and heavier have been up 8 percent, while placements of cattle weighing less than 700 pounds have been down 1 percent.

There is more competition for beef this year as meat supplies recover from the 2014 lows.

In fact, per capita meat supplies have risen by 13 pounds in the United States since 2014.

That is over 6 percent more meat per person in the past two years.

Another possible explanation of low cattle prices is that retail beef prices have not dropped enough to spur the added consumption that is required for the higher level of beef production. Retail beef prices in the first quarter of 2016 were only 4 percent lower than in the first quarter of 2015.

Finished cattle prices, on the other hand, were 17 percent lower. Over time, further reductions in retail prices will likely occur, and these lower prices can help support the live prices of cattle.

With the cash price of finished cattle already in the mid-$120s, the futures market suggests that declining prices will continue into the summer and beyond. Current futures forecast are for finished cattle prices to average about $122 in the second quarter and then drop toward an average of only $112 in the third quarter and $113 in the final quarter of 2016. These are in sharp contrast to USDA forecasts that are about $20 higher for the final two quarters of the year. Perhaps prices somewhere between these two extremes are most likely.

One thing is clear, cattle prices are adjusting to more moderate levels after the spike of 2014 and early 2015. This adjustment process is of large magnitude and markets have lost their historic benchmarks. For these reasons, there are dramatic differences of opinion about the level of longer-term prices.

Cattle finishers need to remain cautious about overpaying for calves. Iowa State University’s calculated cattle feeding losses for closeouts in March 2016 were still estimating losses of nearly $300 per head for finishing calves.

Cow-calf producers will need to reconsider their expansion plans. With current live cattle futures prices and feed prices showing signs of some strength, calf prices are less likely to be high enough to provide profitable returns from the retention of more heifers. Overall, it appears that the expansion of the beef herd will begin to slow in the second half of 2016.

Arrieta somewhat human as Cubs streak rolls on

By Cat Garcia Contributor

L

ooking back on it, it’s hard to believe that baseball season has only been underway for about a month now. The Cubs are riding a 18-6 stretch to start the season, heading into last night’s game at Pittsburgh, and have continually broken down the barriers of expectation throughout April.

Center fielder Dexter Fowler still leads the league in OBP and batting average, has accumulated a 2.0 WARP and a 17 percent walk rate – all things we expected to see regress back to normal sooner than this. Cubs fans simply saw it as a hot streak, and streaks have to end eventually. Well, though it is still just a streak as the numbers Fowler is putting up are not sustainable for extended periods of time – it’s become a lengthy one.

North siders have braced themselves to wake up from the dream that was Jake Arrieta’s 2015 second half, Arrieta couldn’t possibly keep up a stretch of dominance like that, right? Wrong.

Arrieta would still be good, that seemed to be a given, but the odds of the magic lasting any longer than it did seemed unrealistic. Regression to the mean seemed inevitable.

But Arrieta has pitched in five games this season and won them all. He’s strung together his second career no-hitter just three weeks into the season, and though his 52.2 inning scoreless streak at Wrigley Field ended just last week against Milwaukee, Arrieta is still the NL ERA leader with an ERA of just 1.00. Arrieta has shown a somewhat human side but it’s still superlative to the human side almost any other pitcher in baseball has shown.

The Cubs are currently the best team in baseball and are holding onto a winning percentage well over .500 and a run differential nearly forty runs higher than the next best team. The team that once just looked good on paper has translated to reality rather flawlessly.

The remarkable thing about the successful run the Cubs are on is that it’s come despite

setbacks and slow starts. Kyle Schwarber’s season was ended prematurely and abruptly in Arizona during the first week of the season; Miguel Montero is currently on the 15-day DL; and Jason Heyward and Addison Russell have both gotten off to slow starts. None of that has stopped the Cubs though.

But as the brisk spring air and rain that postponed two contests at Wrigley Field last week will serve to remind us, it’s still a young season, and anything can happen.

The Cubs had a less challenging schedule so far, only facing two teams over .500 during April. They’ll now begin a May schedule that will match them up with a few stronger opponents. The Cubs begin the month with this short three-game road trip to Pittsburgh, who stood at 15-11 and 4 games back of the first-place Cubs in the NL Central following Monday’s 7-2 loss to Chicago.

The Cubs will return to Wrigley on Thursday to take on the second best team in the National

League, the Washington Nationals, for a fourgame set. The Cubs will then continue the homestand at Wrigley Field and take on the San Diego Padres before facing the Pirates once again. Later in the month, the team will embark upon a road trip that will include stops in Milwaukee, San Francisco and St. Louis before ending the month at home against the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

As the weather warms up and baseball begins to find it’s groove, May should truly be the month that tests the Cubs and proves whether or not the success that they’ve demonstrated early this season can uphold against strong competition. That is one of the only things that this dominant Cubs team has yet to prove to us, yet arguably the most important.

Breaking down the Blackhawks top offseason priorities

By Adam Hess Contributor

W

ith the Blackhawks having a longer-than-normal (or so it seems) offseason, we’re already forced to focus on identifying the Blackhawks biggest needs that must be identified this summer. Among the possible impending Salary Cap doom and lack of draft picks, the Blackhawks have a number of key issues that they’re going to need to address this summer. Here are the top three.

3. Getting value for Andrew Shaw

It’s extremely likely that Andrew Shaw has played his final game as a Chicago Blackhawk.

With the 24-year-old forward due for a new contract on which he’s likely to get a nice raise – his qualifying offer alone would earn him an extra half-million dollars compared to last year – the Blackhawks very likely will not have room for him on their salary cap.

The big issue will be for Stan Bowman to not sell low on Shaw. Teams will certainly not be lining up to help Bowman out, but overall Shaw can be a very valuable piece for a team to add to their roster. For that reason, Bowman has to know what he has in Shaw and what a team should be willing to pay for him.

Shaw should at least be able to land the Hawks a second round draft pick in this draft, and maybe a first from a really desperate team. But his real value could come in being the convincing piece to get a team to take on Bryan Bickell’s contract. Packaging Shaw and Bickell together for pretty much anything would be a major win for Chicago.

2. Finding a fifth defenseman

One of the Blackhawks’ bigger flaws this season was their thin blue line. It was no secret all season, and at the end of the day that did come back to bite them. The Blackhawks did say that they were comfortable with how their defense was regimented at their year-end press conference, but even if that is true, they would be silly to simply sit on what they have.

Going into free agency and finding themselves a fifth defenseman, or even one who could play as the fourth man and move Trevor van Riemsdyk to five, would be extremely impactful for next year. A player like David Schlemko or Jason Demers would be perfect to fill one of these roles.

Because that is the case, they will now be eligible to sign extensions, and Stan Bowman should waste no time in getting those done.

With Bryan Bickell’s contract set to come off the books in 2017-18, there will be $4 million in cap space to work with. That money should cover the entirety of whatever Teravainen would get – my prediction is a maximum of $2.75 million over three years – and the rest can go to Panarin, with the rest of his money coming from additional cap space and maybe a move or two. If Bowman can get these done this summer as opposed to having to wait for next year, he’ll have the team in a great position to compete for several more years.

DRAFT

From BACK COVER Round 3, pick No. 72: Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida

After signing Akiem Hicks and drafting Eddie Goldman in the past two years, it’s clear Pace envisioned a dominant front seven of his own. The one missing piece was a dominant 3-4 defensive end. Pace couldn’t afford to not pick a defensive lineman early in this year’s draft given how deep the class was and he received excellent value in Bullard.

The 6-foot-3, 280 pounds junior comes in as a very underrated but smaller prospect that could offer a lot more potential under the tutelage of Fangio. Bullard is described as another instinctive and rangy pass rusher because of his explosiveness. He however will also have to add weight to his frame to succeed long term. Like his new teammate in Floyd though, you can add size but you can’t teach explosiveness.

What these two front seven picks say is that the Bears are banking on Fangio. They clearly believe in his coaching to turn raw prospects into respective dynamos. Given his pedigree in San Francisco developing a great defense, one would be hard-pressed to tell them they’re wrong.

Round 4, pick No. 113: Nick Kwiatkowski, LB, West Virginia

This was more of a reserves pick for the Bears.

Kwiatkowski played in every linebacker slot in college and is a sure tackler. Given the depth and talent added recently in Danny Trevathan, Jerrell Freeman, and younger players like John Timu, he probably doesn’t project much more than being a special teams ace though. With how horrid the Bears special teams units have been recently, it isn’t the worst idea to add someone to bolster the unit. He could potentially push the starters in competition.

The Bears took Kansas State guard Cody Whitehair with the 56th overall pick. Whitehair is expected to replace the outgoing Matt Slauson, released by the team on Sunday. chicagobears.com Northern Iowa

Carson, S, William & Mary

Another necessary competition pick here.

For all of the upgrades the Bears have made to their front seven, the secondary was still a question mark. There isn’t much to write home about on the back end. Third-year corner and former first-round pick Kyle Fuller is going to need to make a bigger impact and veteran Tracy Porter is more suited in a number two corner role.

Chicago is bare at the position until someone proves otherwise so they did well to add a rangier corner like Hall. With 13 career interceptions, albeit against average competition, Hall certainly seems to possess the ball skills the Bears would love to have around should he pan out.

This is basically more competition and depth. The William & Mary product was acquired for special teams play. With 293 tackles, 10 interceptions, and nine blocked kicks in an illustrious career, Houston-Carson should be able to offer a lot to any unit and play in depth situations if an injury occurs. With that kind of standout play on two units, it’s hard not to see a role for him.

Round 4, pick No. 124: Deon Bush, S, Miami

Round 5, pick No. 150: Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana

A sensible pick by Chicago. They needed someone to pair with promising second-year safety Adrian Amos considering all of the injury issues the recently released Antrel Rolle dealt with last year. Safety has been a lost art for this franchise overall since the departure of Mike Brown in 2008. It behooved them to take care of this position with a young duo.

It remains to be seen whether Bush can cover, a necessity in today’s NFL, but he has size at 6-feet, 200 pounds, and had 168 tackles in college. He is an excellent defender in the box and someone who can complement Amos’s rangier skill set well.

Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Bears’ running back room.

Head coach John Fox has never appreciated using just one tailback. With the departure of former star running back, Matt Forte, you’ll see this even more with Jeremy Langford, Ka’Dem Carey, Jacquizz Rodgers, and now Howard. What Howard offers to this group is a bruising mentality, giving the Bears a good change of pace from the versatility in the passing and running game the former provide.

Investing in an offensive balance is important for this franchise and they’ve done well to add the 2015 Big Ten second leading rusher (134.8 yards per game).

Round 5, pick No. 127: Deiondre’ Hall, CB,

6 WEEK PROGRAM

Round 7, pick No. 270: Daniel Braverman, WR, Western Michigan

“Can’t find a Braverman!”

Classic rock references aside, you can’t find a more underrated receiving prospect like Braverman. In the mold of other smaller slot receivers like Julian Edelman, or Wes Welker (a basic way

to shoehorn any prospect), Braverman dominated and produced like an elite receiver. Carrying along all of his 5-foot-10 frame, Braverman had 108 receptions, 1,371 yards, and 13 touchdowns this year. You may not think that’s impressive but a good chunk of that production came against elite defenses in Michigan State and Ohio State (23 receptions, 231 yards).

The kid can play and could be a diamond in the rough that was this close to being “Mr. Irrelevant.” Expect him to push Marc Mariani for his role on the receiving depth chart and possibly even pan out as a returner. If he doesn’t work out, the Bears didn’t lose much with just a seventh round pick.

UPPING THE PACE Bears add speed, depth on both sides of the ball at NFL Draft

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Round 1, pick No. 9 (traded up from 11 with Tampa Bay): Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia

n his second year as general manager of the Bears, Ryan Pace has done well to set his own foundation.

The 38-year-old bolstered his roster yet again in this past weekend’s draft to set the Bears up very well: necessary depth to unsexy positions was added along with necessary competition. And unable to find a quarterback at the right spot to suit the Bears needs, Pace went out and added veteran Brian Hoyer to provide cover for starter Jay Cutler.

The Bears made a series of moves during the draft, first to move up and get their top target in the first round, and then trading down in the middle- and- late-rounds to add more picks and more bodies to the roster.

Here’s a breakdown and analysis of each of the 2016 Bears picks by round:

What you see with this pick is Aldon Smith, the gifted young pass rusher that Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio once coached with the 49ers. While it’s sometimes misguided to automatically compare other players since everyone is dynamic, you can’t help but see the similarities.

The Bears needed to add speed and pass rushing prowess on the edge in their defense, and like Smith was once entrusted to do for San Francisco, Floyd will be expected to have the same role.

If Floyd even comes close to producing 33.5 sacks in his first two years like Smith did, then this will have been a huge win for Chicago.

The only caveat here is that Smith was at his playing weight of 265 pounds once coming out of school in 2011. Floyd on the other hand is an undersized 245 pounds and will have to gain weight

I

to become the dominant pass rusher the Bears envision. However, he is a phenomenal athlete that is described as having the “best get-off in the draft” and being able to “bend like Gumby”.

You can always add size but you can’t teach instinct and that’s what the Bears are betting on.

Oh, and by the way, the last linebacker the Bears took with the No. 9 overall pick? Brian Urlacher.

Round 2, pick No. 56: Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State

After maneuvering down to obtain more picks, the Bears settled on what is described as the “safest pick in the draft” in Whitehair.

Whitehair, a four-year starter at Kansas State played left guard, left tackle, and right tackle so there is a lot of athleticism here. At 6-foot-4, 305 pounds, he has excellent size for the next level and should now be set as a potential solid

starter at left guard for years to come given Matt Slauson’s release on Sunday.

There’s more backstory to Slauson’s release no doubt, but to release arguably your best lineman speaks volumes of the confidence Chicago has in Whitehair and last year’s third-round draft pick in center Hroniss Grasu. It’s about developing prospects for the long-term future not just here and now.

The Bears are looking to get younger on both fronts. The oldest projected starter is now 26 years old in right tackle Bobbie Massie. This move in particular illustrates a picture of a dominant interior that could feature Whitehair, Grasu, and two-time Pro Bowler Kyle Long. You can’t fault Chicago for building a young offensive line.
