Editorial

County board’s broken record $283K Microsoft settlement just the latest in a series of wasteful financial mishaps for Winnebago County government

‘W

innebago County owes x to y because z.” Fill in the blanks, folks. This time, it’s $283,000 to Microsoft because of what been termed “human error” in hundreds of county computers being christened with unlicensed software. The county’s contracted chief information officer (CIO), Gus Gentner, explained to the county board that much of the costs racked up could be explained by the simple mistake of an employee “accidentally” activating a more expensive copy of Microsoft Office. For Gentner’s sake, the contract he signed in 2013 alleviates him of any costly burdens from such a tragic oversight in his department. Not bad for 100-hour-a-month gig that last year paid him $139,400. Chairman Scott Christiansen, in an

email to county board members last week, touted the revenues produced by Gentner’s work for the county: “... due to the efforts of Mr. Gentner and his department, Winnebago County brings in over $200k in annual revenue, as our IT department serves as support for the City of Loves Park, Loves Park Fire and Police, the Village of Rockton, the Chicago-Rockford International Airport, the City of South Beloit, Boone County Courts, Circuit Clerk and States Attorney, and the Village of Winnebago, just to name a few.” [sic] That’s great! That’s money generated by providing a necessary service to the counties seemingly endless bodies of government! Of course, now all of those governments have to be concerned with whether or not they’re soon to be on the hook of Microsoft’s compliance office.

Back to the county government, though: who’s at fault for this latest shameful blunder? Surely the person overseeing the entire department, right? Not according to the chairman. “It is significant to point out that a number of these failures to license were a result of software installations taking place either prior to Mr. Gentner’s tenure or from departments not under his supervision. In any case, Mr. Gentner did not personally install or configure any software.” So we come to back to the “human error” argument here, which, sure, maybe could work. Many of us, having installed or updated software

hundreds of times, know the myriad windows and buttons one must click to get through such a task. That said, none of us here can remember ever accidentally installing Microsoft Office Professional when we purchased Microsoft Office Standard, and IT professionals we talked to said such a “mistake” would be met with a screen prompting you to pay more for the software you’re attempting to install, not letting you slide by and hoping that you’ll cough up the difference at a later date. So maybe the “accident” line – the $283,000 accident that ultimately no one is responsible for at all – doesn’t stand up. That’s okay, because Christiansen offered another possible reason for the SNAFU in his email: “Driven in large part by the mandatory upgrade of Windows XP to Windows 8.1, the review resulted in a settlement offer to become compliant, received by the County on April 25, 2016, in the amount of $283,423.” He added, “It is important to note that this offer is a settlement amount; not a fine, and this is a cost the County should have been paying all along.” So it was driven by mandatory OS upgrades and not by hundreds of employees going renegade and trying to snag a little bit better version of their productivity software without anyone noticing, and it’s okay because it’s not a fine; just a settlement. One might say this is a case of mixed messaging, while others may say it’s just an unfortunate accident. The funny thing is, nowhere in his email to the board does Christiansen mention the reason his CIO has given (accident, human error) as being the cause behind this $283,000 problem, a cost which, the chairman reassures us, the taxpayers should’ve been covering already. So far, the county has paid $113,000 to Microsoft as part of the settlement. The final total will be split up across the county’s departments to help alleviate the budget hit, one which could and should have been prevented in the first place. Sadly, the “What, me worry?” reasoning for an endless stream of financial blunders seems to be the only solution on offer from the chairman. Board members have been pressing for massive overhauls to the county’s spending structures since news of the FBI’s ongoing investigation first broke

last year. So far, most have centered on the so-called Host Fee and the chairman’s discretionary budget. But for some in Winnebago County’s government, it seems that any number of completely embarrassing failures will be allowed to continue unabated. Case in point: owing Microsoft a $283,000 lump sum for something that could and should have been managed better from the start. Why excuse it? And why is there no one to blame? How is the de facto department head – even though, in this case, Gentner is allowed to operate on a contract basis – not ultimately responsible for such a tremendous oversight? How does the chairman continue to skip past these massive gaffes without offering real solutions of his own? Gentner’s contract – one which was renewed in 2013 by a voice vote and whose stipulations many county board members were unaware of until recently – may protect him in this case, but it should be a warning going forward. If indications are correct, that will most certainly be the case. Sources have told The Times this week that the board doesn’t intend to wait for the next quarter-million dollar mistake to come down the line. Steps to bring proposals to the floor are already underway. Resolutions proposing that the CIO position become a full-time one, appointed with the consent and full consideration of the board, have been drafted. In addition, outside IT contracts will be subject to a bidding process, and the Operations Committee will oversee contract liabilities and contract negotiations with outside agents. Good steps but overdue, as we’ve come to expect of the many solutions to the county’s haphazard and unchecked spending practices. It’s a time to finally and fully wipe the slate clean. It’s yet another reason to implement base budgeting. Everyone wants to live in a world where a man’s word is his bond and you can trust a handshake. But that can no longer work when we’re talking about the finances of Winnebago County. We’re way past trusting anything anymore. That’s when legislation becomes not only preferable, but mandatory as a matter of course. The board has to act now. Stop spinning the broken record.

“Sadly, the ‘What, me worry?’ reasoning for an endless stream of financial blunders seems to be the only solution on offer from the chairman.”

Election 2016

Trump’s trick spokesperson play

By Joe Sexton ProPublica

didn’t get to do a lot of original reporting in 1985 as a clerk on United Press International’s sports desk in New York. My job was to move copy and box scores to our client newspapers as fast as possible, and so every night I took dictation from sportswriters around the country – at baseball stadiums or at ringside, at the racetrack or inside the arena. Thirty years later, it seems likely I also took a bit of dictation from a man with a shot to be the next president of the United States. Okay, let’s back up. You might well have heard in the last couple of days of Donald Trump’s apparent habit of acting as his own spokesman. A variety of news accounts have recalled Trump using the aliases John Barron or John Miller while posing as a fictitious spokesman for his organizations. Trump has denied doing so in at least one of the cited instances. Then again, it appears he also admitted to the ruse in a sworn deposition years ago. Over the weekend, it seemed hard for either Trump’s supporters or his critics to know exactly what to make of it all. The only consensus seems to be that, if true, it was more weird than anything else. Now, let’s back up a bit farther. In 1985, Trump was the owner of the New Jersey Generals, a team in the fledgling United States Football League. The teams played in the spring and summer, and the league was meant to be a rival to the National Football League. Trump, unsurprisingly perhaps, became known for high-profile player signings, one of his most expensive being the acquisition of Doug Flutie, the Boston College quarterback who had won the Heisman Trophy. Soon enough – again perhaps not surprisingly – Trump wanted to re-visit the Flutie deal. He wanted the owners of the other teams in the USFL to chip in to cover the costs of his quarterback. That, then, is how I came to write this dispatch on April 1, 1985. NEW YORK – New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump has asked the other USFL owners to provide ‘partial reimbursement’ for quarterback Doug Flutie’s multi-million dollar contract, a spokesman for Trump said Monday. John Barron, a vice president of the Trump Organization, said the New Jersey owner wanted the other owners to honor an agreement reached earlier this year before Trump signed Flutie to a 5-year contract worth between $5 and $8 million. “When a guy goes out and spends more money than a player is worth, he expects to get partial reimbursement from the other owners,” Barron said of Trump’s signing of Flutie. The story went on to quote Barron saying that the other owners had agreed to assist Trump before Flutie was signed, and that Trump was

merely calling in the chit. The story quoted Barron acknowledging that the other owners might not pony up, but that it was important for Trump to call them out because he wanted “the record to reflect” the truth behind the terms of the Flutie deal. I can’t remember when I first came to believe Barron was in fact Trump. It’s not inconceivable that Trump told me himself. I know I had thought at the time that I’d rarely dealt with such a frank and forthcoming spokesman. And I know I have told the story to family and friends for years. David Tucker, who was sports editor at UPI in 1985, told me this week that some reporters wondered if Barron was actually Trump himself. But he, like me, remains as stumped today as we were years ago about why Trump might have engaged in his charade. The Trump news cycle has quickly rolled on, the flap just another seemingly minor hiccup in a run of remarkable political success for the presumptive Republican nominee. For me, the episode, more than anything else, has felt like a bad acid flashback. Strange days indeed. That said, it’s been kind of fascinating re-familiarizing myself with Trump’s role in the USFL. Esquire in January published a kind of oral history of the USFL highlighting Trump’s role. But I think this chapter in Trump’s much-examined life could use some more attention. I am not a scholar of the USFL, but some refresher reading suggests Trump was his trademark self from the beginning to the end of the ill-fated league. The launch of the league in the early 1980s seemed well timed, with the NFL facing labor trouble. The idea was to play during the NFL’s off-season. There was some initial success – 12

teams, television deals with ABC and ESPN, the signing of stars such as Herschel Walker and Flutie and Reggie White and Jim Kelly. But it appears to have been a combustible upstart league, as well. There was expansion, but also mergers and strategic disagreements, worries about over-spending and shifting ownership. Trump appears to have been something of a lightning rod. Adam Rank, writing on the NFL Network’s website several years ago, put it this way: “It should have worked,” he said of the USFL. “Hell, it would have worked were it not for Donald Trump.” Trump was the original owner of the Generals, but wound up flipping the team not unlike a real estate holding – selling it after the league’s first year only to then buy it back a short time later. His pursuit of high-priced stars annoyed and unnerved some of his fellow owners. My quick scan of history does not reveal whether the other owners ever helped out Trump with his obligations to Flutie. Whether that holds any meaning for Trump’s ability to re-negotiate trade or arms deals as president is beyond me. In the end, though, it appears that the eventual death of the league has been linked by many to Trump’s desire to directly challenge the NFL, a gambit that involved playing a fall schedule and that ended in litigation and debts in the tens of millions of dollars.

Arash Markazi, a senior writer at ESPN, published a post in July 2015 titled, “5 Things to Know About Donald Trump’s Foray Into Doomed USFL.” One was that the Generals under Trump were a pretty good team. Another, however, was that “Trump is widely blamed for the demise of the USFL.” The USFL sued the NFL, asserting it was an illegal monopoly. A jury, it seems, kind of agreed. But when it came to awarding damages, it gave the USFL $1. It seems the jury thought the USFL had behaved badly, as well, in part by trying force a merger with the NFL, a tactic apparently supported by Trump. In the Esquire story, Charlie Steiner, the former play-by-play announcer for Trump’s Generals, offered his own emphatic summation: “You can cut and paste the USFL and the GOP and it’s the same damn story. It’s all about him and the brand and moving on to the next thing if it doesn’t work out.” I sent two emails to Hope Hicks, Trump’s spokeswoman, seeking comment on my dealings back in 1985 and Trump’s role in the short life of the USFL. I have yet to receive a response. I did find a New York Daily News item quoting Trump as saying he’d been the victim of “a lot of false press on the USFL.” That may have to suffice for now. I do not, after all, have an email address for John Barron.

“You can cut and paste the USFL and the GOP and it’s the same damn story. It’s all about him and the brand and moving on to the next thing if it doesn’t work out.”

By Mark Adams Illinois Policy

s more and more baby boomers retire, there is an increasing need for adequate care for the elderly and disabled. But a new survey indicates that Illinois may soon face a severe shortage of Licensed Practical Nurses who specialize in that care. Older nurses are retiring, and there aren’t enough younger nurses to take their place. The problem facing Illinois is not only the expected surge in retirements, but also regulatory barriers that prevent qualified nurses from becoming licensed. The survey, published by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, or IDFPR, in April, found that more than a third of licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, who provide basic care to sick, elderly and disabled patients, are over 55 years old; 59 percent are over 45 years old. More than a quarter of all LPNs plan to retire in the next five years, and nearly half plan to retire in the next decade. The results mirror those of a similar survey of registered nurses, or RNs, in 2014. But while the secretary of IDFPR called the result “a clarion call,” regulation remains a major barrier to providing adequate care over the next five years and beyond. All states regulate LPNs, but other than requiring the same federally administered exam, each state has its own set of rules. In principle, these laws protect patients from unqualified nurses, but evidence suggests more restrictive rules not only fail to improve care, but also can harm patients by making care less affordable and accessible. That’s because RNs and LPNs have successfully lobbied for increasingly restrictive rules, which often do not apply to nurses who already have their license, but make it harder for newly qualified individuals to practice their vocation. For example, a nurse in Iowa can cross the border to practice in Missouri and vice versa, but cannot practice in Illinois without passing additional regulatory hurdles. Unlike Illinois, both Iowa and Missouri are members of the 25-state Nurse Licensure Compact, which allows nurses to have one multistate license. All of Illinois’ neighboring states, except Indiana, participate. And while Illinois does provide a route for nurses from other states to become licensed in Illinois, the process can be time consuming. These unnecessary extra hurdles not only make it harder for nurses to come to Illinois, but also reduce the incentives for nurses to become qualified in Illinois knowing that it will be harder to move to other states. Even when a person is qualified, the license may prohibit him or her from practice because of increasingly restrictive “scope of practice” laws. A nurse practitioner might be qualified to prescribe some low-risk drugs, but the law restricts that duty to doctors. LPNs are trained to administer medication by IV, but in Illinois (though not in many other states) only RNs are permitted to do so. And while RNs can delegate to a supervised

nurses’ assistant or unlicensed assistant, LPNs are far more restricted in their ability to do so. As a result, many medical professionals are unable to perform the tasks they are qualified and trained for and instead spend their time on tasks others can perform just as well. While additional training may in some sense be desirable, requiring more training than the

job demands increases costs for the patient and reduces access to services. As Illinois faces an upcoming shortage of licensed nurses, policymakers need to consider ways to ensure all residents have access to affordable care. Relaxing overly burdensome restrictions on LPNs and RNs’ ability to practice their jobs is an important part of meeting that goal.

Energy & Environment

Climate change’s rising costs The past 30 years have seen a 10-fold increase in the cost of disasters. That’s going to get worse. By Samantha Page ThinkProgress.org

o much for renewable energy ruining the economy. By 2050 there will be $158 trillion in assets at risk from flooding alone – not to mention 1.3 billion people at risk – driven largely by climate change and urbanization. This is according to a new World Bank report, which finds that damages from disasters have been on the rise for decades and will keep getting worse. “When people assess risk in the majority of cases today, what they are looking at is a snapshot in time,” said Alanna Simpson, head of the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery’s Innovation Lab and an author of the report. “They need to know how the risk might change in the future.” The report was released at the 2016 Understanding Risk Forum, happening now in Venice, Italy, as part of a broader call to mitigate risk in development. “Unless we change our approach to future planning for cities and coastal areas that takes into account potential disasters, we run the real risk of locking in decisions that will lead to

drastic increases in future losses,” John Roome, the World Bank Group’s senior director for climate change, said in a statement. “With climate change and rising numbers of people in urban areas rapidly driving up future risks, there’s a real danger the world is woefully unprepared for what lies ahead.” In the United States, up to 31 million people already live in areas that would be inundated in a future that does not curb currently expected sea level rise. The report comes as floods and landslides have killed at least eight people and displaced thousands in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The report does not shy away from acknowledging the role that climate change plays in the safety of global communities. “Changes in hazard are driven by climate change, which raises sea levels, changes the intensity of the strongest storms and the frequency with which they occur, increases extreme temperatures, and alters patterns of precipitation,” it points out. On a positive note, the World Bank has seen a trend of countries and partners choosing to focus on preparedness. Simpson’s group recently launched ThinkHazard.org, an open-source tool

for risk mitigation. Planners and builders can put their location into the website and see what types of disaster they need to consider. “Most countries now see the value in preparedness and risk reduction as opposed to response,” Simpson said. “Some of them are expensive decisions and hard decisions, but some are quite easy.” In the 30 years between 1976-1985 and 20052014, damage from disasters has increased tenfold, now costing more than $140 billion annually (averaged over the 10-year span). Meanwhile, the number of people affected has gone from 60 million a year to more than 170 million.

According to another report released at the risk conference, in the past two decades, extreme weather events have affected more than four billion people – killing more than 600,000 and causing $1.9 trillion in economic losses. But changes in population and responsible development are critical, as well. For instance, risks presented by earthquakes in Kathmandu are expected to double by 2045 due to informal building expansion. “The risk that we see in 50 years is being built now,” Simpson said. “We can wait 50 years and leave a world that is quite different for our children and grandchildren, or we can act now.”

The case for renewables and efficiency grows stronger By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

dvocacy for powering our economy with electricity to move away from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy including efficiency and renewable sources is growing. A report from the Brattle Group points out that rapid progress in renewable energy technologies is capable of undercutting demand for liquefied natural gas for electrical production and heating. Advocating natural gas as the transition fuel for a clean energy future appears to be losing some of its appeal. Burning fossil fuels is often done in a way that wastes a great deal of energy. Utilities commonly generate electricity by consuming fuels to boil water, use the steam to power turbines and then dump the heat into the air or surrounding bodies of water wasting two-thirds of the energy used in the process. If the hot water were used as a heat source for heating buildings or industrial processes a dramatic reduction in wasted energy would occur. The process known as co-genera-

tion is well understood but still underutilized in our current economy. The recent surge in natural gas production from fracking has given us low prices for now. The fracking boom was driven by federal policies providing an abundant supply of low cost money to facilitate the effort of increasing natural gas supplies. Ignored in the fracking boom were environmental problems of water and air pollution, an increase in earthquakes associated with the process and the need to use more energy to secure new supplies. Also ignored was the release of methane and its contribution to climate change and the fact that natural gas is a finite resource which should be used more judiciously. Another approach was possible and remains so today. Natural gas burns at a very high temperature which is useful in industrial processes such as glass and cement manufacturing. This is difficult to reach using solar energy. However an enormous amount of natural gas is wasted to heat our buildings and provide hot water for home and commercial uses. Those services

could be effectively provided by using solar hot water and heat pumps. Yet these approaches remain underutilized. With energy efficiency in existing buildings continually upgraded and more new homes and buildings meeting higher efficiency standards we could be well along a path of dramatic reductions in energy consumption. If climate change necessitates a very rapid transition to renewable energy and accelerated adoption of energy efficiency, the process would be more costly but could stimulate a rapid increase in available jobs. Policies and incentives to shift from natural gas to electrical supplies for heating and hot water supplies for homes and commercial applications could lead to a slower and less costly transition. With water heaters and gas dryers having an average lifespan of around 15 years and gas furnaces of 25 years, our societal transition could be well advanced by 2030. If individuals and communities produced more of their own electricity and encouraged the use improved energy efficiency applications

along with solar hot water and heat pumps, local economies would be strengthened. The technologies for such a transition are reliable and readily available but the political will essential for it to occur remains muted.

Ogle County prairie tour and work days

The Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County (PPSOC) will host tours and work days this spring, summer and fall. Tours will focus on viewing and learning about beautiful prairie plants. Work days will help participants learn what plants need to be controlled and how to control them. There will also be opportunities to help restore parts of the native landscape. The next two tour/work days will be held on May 21 and June 4 at Sand Ridge. Meet at 2879 S. Daysville Rd., Oregon, at 9 a.m. Wear comfortable shoes. Expect to see lovely flowers and pull a few weeds. Each will take about two hours. Watch for information on further tour and work days. Reach the Vogls at sonia@essex1.com.

Kandinsky’s Creative Group to open season for Artists at the Market By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

he Rockford Area Arts Council has partnered with the Rockford City Market (RCM) to bring rotating artists to the Market for Artists at the Market. It is an opportunity for artists to experience the RCM and determine if they may wish to invest in a space for next year. The RCM opens on Friday from 3:30-8:30 p.m. and the first artists will be from the Kandinsky’s Creative Group (KCG). Artists include founder, Lenny French (artwork featured at right); Jenny Mathews; Amelia Chandlee; Diane Tepper; Michelle Vieau; and Pat Taylor. The Kandinsky’s Creative Group was created when visual artist Lenny French was having coffee last April at Katie’s Cup. Since then, along with Sarah, whom he calls his better, Diane Tepper and Jenny Mathews, he has done an amazing job of coalescing artists for five shows at Edgebrook. According to French, Kandinsky’s Creative Group (KCG) was created to bring creative individuals together no matter what their art form, to be all inclusive of visual and performing artists. One of the goals is to build a world-class creative community in northern Illinois, where the interchange of ideas and opportunities is abundant. The group is the place where creative individuals can grow their voice and skills. The KCG also creates a place of fellowship, where the very traits that drive the creative are celebrated. Another goal of the group is to raise awareness of the creative community and their effects on society. The KCG will bring a wide variety of events and outreach projects that will bring enlightenment, hope and civic pride to our community. “We started as just an idea and with time and hard work it started to take root. We developed

relationships with Edgebrook, Lucha Cantina and Rockford Buzz, which really helped us growing quickly. But at the core are the artists themselves, helping us grow by leaps and bounds,“ French said. Artist Jenny Mathews said, “One of the things I love about Kandinsky’s Creative Group is the camaraderie and exchange among our members. When we get together we talk about everything

from technique and materials to how to best present pieces for show. Lessons taught by experienced professionals are balanced out with the freshness and excitement of brand new artists. It’s a very productive and supportive mix.” “As I look to the next year and the future of the group, I know the hard work we’ve put forth this past year will bring place for entrepreneurship and individualism that will turn the city into

a hot spot for creativity,” French went on to say. KCG is offering three Cours D’art en Plein Air courses throughout the summer including: oil, pastels, acrylics and watercolors. All will be held at Rock Cut State Park and you may be a beginner or advanced to enjoy this experience. You may sign up at Rockford City Market on Friday or find more information on the Facebook page for Kandinsky’s Creative Group.

Neighbors 2 provides some laughs, but nothing new By Thomas Simpson Contributor

eighbors 2: Sorority Rising, a sequel to 2014’s Neighbors, offers much of the same only not done as well. The first film was a stupid yet amusingly crude comedy that featured a ridiculously jacked Zac Efron who impressed in his role as frat boy Teddy. Teddy and his frat brothers made life hell for his neighbors Mac and Kelly (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne), resulting in a prank war that quickly escalated to malicious levels. The frat house has since disbanded with Mac and Kelly feeling it’s time to move on and put their house on the market. With their property in escrow, it’s nervous times for the couple as a newly founded sorority moves in next door, led by Chloë Grace Moretz’s Shelby. Tensions rise and the vulgarity bubbles but unfortunately the laughs are few and far between. Once the premise has been established the jokes flow more easily but it’s the original cast that gets the most laughs as the newcomers are hampered with poor lines and terrible delivery. Efron, Byrne and Rogen have great chemistry which elevates the sophomoric humor, unfortunately the same can’t be said for the other side of the divide. Efron’s evolution as a comedy actor has seen him provide great performances in below par movies. A lot of the gags here revolve around his looks and although the objectification of him is funny, that’s all it is. There is no deeper message conveyed here despite the intention to make a statement. The plot is weak and flimsy with events poorly connected in order to progress the story. The blunt themes of feminism are less empowering and more cringe worthy. The film tries too hard to have meaning and depth

when instead the strengths lie in the gross out comedy that made the previous one a hit. While many of the jokes are contemporary the filmmakers overemphasize a generation gap that doesn’t really exist. Only two years have passed between films yet the last film is presented as being an outdated time from which the world is ready to move on from. These times aren’t a changing that quickly. For all its flaws, Neighbors 2 is an easy watch and offers an unchallenging trip to the cinema. • • • Thomas Simpson is a writer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, U.K. Find him on Twitter: @Simmy41.

Catch Sister Act at Fireside By Bill Beard Contributor

on’t hesitate! The moment you read this, get on the phone or online and get your reservations for Fireside’s current hit musical, Sister Act, the Musical. Based on the hilarious 1992 Whoopie Goldberg hit, this Broadway adaptation, as directed by the always brilliant Ed Flesch, adds another hit to his long-standing reputation. But don’t expect Whoopie Goldberg; and don’t expect the big ‘60s sounds of the original movie. This version has been re-set in 1977, and it has all the “glitter ball” effects of the Disco-era. It has also been adapted more to the Broadway musical format to allow more solo ‘book’ numbers for the lead roles, in this case all marvelously cast with great voices and terrific acting chops. The plot reads: “Once again we see lounge singer Deloris van Cartier (Whoopie Goldberg in the movie), driven into hiding when she witnesses a mob murder. Somewhat incongruously, the safe house chosen by the cops is a convent, which gets shaken to its religious foundations by our heroine, in her new disguise as Sister Mary Clarence. Appointed to supervise the tone-deaf choir of nuns, she turns them into a group of swinging sisters whose sudden fame imperils both her and their safety.” It took me a few moments of adjustment, but by the time Bianca Horn as Deloris finished her first two numbers, Take Me to Heaven and Fabulous, Baby, assisted by her terrific back-up singers, Abigail Raye and Kris Roberts, I had completely forgotten to miss Whoopie; and from that point on, Ms. Horn became my perfect new singing nun, Sister Mary Clarence! Ms. Horn has it all! Gorgeous face and body, terrific voice, dance and acting power and above all, the perfect energy and spirit

to make her Mary Clarence into a wonderful believable character, even in the middle of a ridiculous and hilarious spoof. Challenging her for special attention is the vivacious Erica Lustig as the pixie-like novitiate wannabe showgirl, Sister Mary Robert. She gives us one of the real high points of the evening with her The Life I Never Led. Supplying a formidable but loving antagonist in the role of the Mother Superior is the remarkably talented Rachel Cohen, coming from national and international tour experience, plus featured cruise ship work with Cunard Line and Disney Magic. She provided the perfect combination of commanding control and motherly affection to make her the solid foundation for the hilarious convent chaos, and revealed her real character in the

confession-like I Haven‘t Got a Prayer. Kudos also to the charming work of Glory Kissel (last seen here as Daisy in Driving Miss Daisy) in the role of the spunky, not-quitesenile Sister Mary Theresa; and to the lively Cassandra Dupler as the wise-cracking Sister

Mary Patrick. The male roles in Sister Act, the Musical have been criticized as silly, too contrived. I must agree that they seem to come across as secondary necessities. A young second banana type cop, plus a handsome gang leader and his three “stooges” henchmen are of course needed for this plot, but could really suffer from comparison to this superb menagerie of wimpled warriors. However, Director Flesch has cast the disarming Derrick Jerard Parks as Officer Eddie (“Sweaty”) Souther, who convinces Delores, as well as the audience, that he is actually a real charmer. And Lawrence Street as the evil Curtis, along with Micah Mims, Martin Bonventre and Joe Joseph as the gangly gangsters, are very funny in their spotlight numbers, When I Find My Baby and Lady in the Long Black Dress. As always, the technical aspects are excellent and Buddy Reeder’s choreography fits that smallish stage smoothly. I am always amazed at how this theatre manages to do almost any size show in such a limited space, but they always do! Sister Act, the Musical only plays two more weeks, closing on May 29; so arrange tickets now. It’s a delightful evening of good food and fun theatre.

Commentary

Passing K-12 funding harder than it looks By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

e saw some examples last week of why school funding reform is so difficult to accomplish in Illinois. House Republican Leader Jim Durkin appeared with Gov. Bruce Rauner at Lyons Township High School, which is in Durkin’s district. Durkin pointed out to reporters that the school would lose $1.9 million in state funding under Sen. Andy Manar’s controversial school funding reform bill. Leader Durkin also claimed that every school district in his House district would lose funding with Manar’s proposal. Chicago, he noted, would gain hundreds of millions of dollars. Durkin declared that he and his members could not and would not support a plan that shoveled big time bucks at Chicago while cutting their own districts. But that’s really the whole point of Manar’s plan. He wants to shift state funding away from wealthier suburban districts like those Durkin represents (14.2 percent of Lyons Township High School students are from low-income households) to districts that have high numbers of impoverished students (86 percent of Chicago Public Schools students are from low-income households). Sen. Manar wants a “hold harmless” provision to make sure no district loses money right away, but that’ll cost quite a bit of cash, which the state doesn’t currently have. Leader Durkin represents half of Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno’s district, so convincing both of those chamber leaders to sign off on a plan that takes state money away from their own schools is just as difficult as convincing the two Chicago Democrats who head up the House and Senate to agree to Gov. Rauner’s K-12 funding proposal that reduces Chicago’s annual appropriation by $74 million because of the state’s antiquated and complicated funding formula. Like I said, this ain’t easy. The governor has also dumped all over Sen. Manar’s plan. He and his his surro-

gates have slammed the proposal as a Chicago “bailout” and have vowed campaign reprisals. It’s not exactly the same, of course, but, in a way, Sen. Manar is to Senate President John Cullerton what former state Sen. Barack Obama was to Senate President Emil Jones, who helped mentor Obama’s rise to power. Manar is Cullerton’s former chief of staff and Cullerton is helping him any way he can. He’s essentially Cullerton’s golden boy. There is no doubt that Sen. Manar has worked this piece of legislation harder

than any individual has worked a bill in recent memory. He has traveled from one end of the state to the other, meeting with school superintendents and other education leaders in an attempt to cobble together a workable plan. He was on Chicago’s South Side just the other day, which produced smirks from some Republicans who believe he’s attempting to use this issue to advance his political career. But the reality is Manar has Cullerton’s full support, and Cullerton has been far more cooperative about coming up with a deal to end the months-long governmental

stalemate than has House Speaker Michael Madigan. So, maybe the governor and his peeps should lay off the rhetoric a bit because things are tough enough. Cullerton allowed Manar to hold a vote on his funding plan last week, even though Manar and other Democrats went out of their way to declare that the bill needs a lot more work. Republicans claimed that forcing the vote could very well make it more difficult to reach an agreement on education spending. Many freely admit that the current system is horribly flawed. But the school funding formula is so crazily complicated that any successful revamp will take serious bipartisan effort. And, indeed, talks have been held to devise a more easily constructed “bridge” between today’s system and a future more in line with Manar’s vision. But the Republicans say by running Manar’s bill instead of negotiating, the Senate Democrats may have very well hardened positions on their side of the aisle. Only one Republican voted for it, after all. So the momentum has shifted to the other chamber, where a special committee led by House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie is attempting to construct an alternative. But there are those who believe Madigan isn’t serious about getting something done. But someone had better come up with something soon because Manar said last week there was no way he will vote for the governor’s K-12 appropriations bill because it slashes funding for schools in his district, as did other Senate Democrats. And even some Downstate Republicans who voted against Manar’s bill would prefer a different formula to prevent their own schools from losing state money under the current formula. We could wind up with no school funding at all. • • • Find daily headlines and updates from Springfield and around the state at capitolfax.com.

Save the arts before impending doom

By Richard Gubbe

Solutions

Contributor

hen the roof opens for the 2016 Starlight Theatre season, a dark cloud will be hanging above the campus of Rock Valley College and the entire region. The forecast: a strong chance for damaging winds that could rip apart a solid arts culture has been built over the past 50 years. The storm that has spun from the idiocy of state officials is crippling a theater program known for nurturing creativity and success. Studio Theatre is no more at RVC and thank your politicians for that. The situation becomes more dreadful when Director Mike Webb and his 32 years of indoor and outdoor shows drift away into retirement. A third, and potentially lethal blow to the arts community, would be the elimination or scaling down of the outdoor Starlight program. The immediate and future impact of this disaster will take years to repair, just like a city after a massive storm, leaving behind a void in the atmosphere and people wondering what could have been. Both Studio and Starlight programs have given everyone within driving distances of the school a chance at a theater career, whether it be onstage or off. The theaters have been stepping stones, lifelines for young and old to have a chance at success and self-fulfillment while bringing joy and inspiration to others. What Webb so shrewdly did over the years was to infuse young talent into his shows. He didn’t rely on marginal actors, singers and dancers to bring the usual ho-hum community theater. He took on the challenges of the biggest shows outdoors and the some of the most complex shows indoors but he needed a wide range of talent to do it. Through those efforts, local talent went on to become famous, and have often come back to perform, i.e. Samantha Owen playing the lead in Phantom of the Opera that opens in June. Owen is one of many career success stories, most of which included making the leap from Rockford to New York or Los Angeles. One actor who used Studio as a springboard was Winnebago’s Joe Coots, starring in more than 460 performances of Kinky Boots across the country. Coots has appeared in many TV series as well. Webb said Mazzie Marin, now in her 70s, is playing the role of Anna in the Lincoln Center offering of The King and I. On the younger side, Rachel Gass is stage managing in NYC and her sister, Sarah Gass, is a prominent costume designer on Broadway. Others who made stops in Studio or Starlight productions includes NBC TV President Robert Greenblatt, who performed in Starlight en route to the University of Illinois,

University of Wisconsin and then Los Angeles. Joe Mantello was the original director of Broadway’s Wicked. Troy Beard is currently in charge of wigs for Broadway’s Les Miserables. Dan Webster went to Hollywood and worked as an art director on Ron Howard films. And Sharon Sachs appeared in Home Alone 3 and is currently on NBC’s Grimm. The impact of Webb’s developing of talent hits home with Rachel Gubbe, who attended Auburn High School CAPA magnet school as a freshman this past year. She first tried out for Les Miserables in 2013 at age 12. She landed a role in the ensemble and received a small solo. After three seasons of shows indoor and outdoor, she is heading this fall to the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, one of the most prestigious arts schools in the country, winners of 14 Grammy Awards for education excellence. If not given the chance to perform at RVC, there would have been little chance against thousands of applicants. Recent LVA grads include Matthew Gray Gubler, Julianne Hough and Ne-Yo.

The Numbers

The numbers of dollars about profits and losses thrown around from RVC officials has differed depending on whether you see them from Webb’s eyes or the administration, which has given out different numbers for Studio and Starlight losses. The amount lost at Starlight Theatre reported in The Times last week was incorrect, adminstration officals said. RVC Board Member Patrick Murphy reported the number

for Starlight operations is about $300,000 in the red over each of the last three years. Webb and other administrators have said the outdoor theater made money a couple seasons. Webb, in response to the $300,000 figure of losses for Starlight per year said, “I didn’t lose anywhere near $300,000 (a year).” Salaries are often pointed to as large budget expenses and not treated as a resource. The numbers of a loss in theater include salaries, benefits, maintenance and other monies. “It’s all about salaries and benefits,” Webb said. “I’m not going to fight with them anymore.” RVC President Mike Mastroianni has the proverbial gun to his head, but this isn’t the same as the college cutting its truck driver program. The Rock Valley College administration and board of directors has cut a part of the culture of the community. In last week’s The Rock River Times, the RVC brass said there were fewer than 50 students who would be affected, but that number hardly reflects the ripple effects. Webb, and before him Ted Bacino, helped mold young talent and they created a culture of community and family. Many performers in RVC shows have been in multiple shows as Webb created a sense of loyalty and family within the casts he selected. He often picked shows to match the local talent pool and the results came with sold-out shows and state awards. And his actors often come back, whether to perform or visit, never forgetting from whence they came.

Once a program is killed, it rarely comes back to life. But if there is a chance to breathe life into it, the money must come from the private sector, RVC employees and community volunteers. A lot of people help out at Starlight shows at the event site, but others are needed to take of the torch of raising money. Private sector help during this crisis is needed now and in the future. In European countries, the arts are supported through the government and through schools supported by the government. In Illinois, the government wants nothing to do with funding of liberal arts and never has over the last four decades. Now the arts face the biggest crises of all: apathy. RVC is an enormous resource sitting on a pile of land. Make use of it to help raise money. Instead of cutting salaries like a factory, a more corporate attitude of making employees do more work instead of sending them to the unemployment line is one way to go. Better to be overworked than not paid at all. What employees can do: host events, fundraisers, community events, indoor and outdoor concerts, sporting events. Collaborate with the Rockford Park District or compete against them. Ask for money from donors, write grants locally and elsewhere. There was no warning of cuts, no chance at getting benefactors or a solution to present itself for Studio. Manley Motors of Belvidere and Karen Manley, who will appear this summer in Children of Eden, held a promotion recently for Starlight to take a survey and test drive a Lincoln and Starlight gets a $20 donation. It’s a start. Individual donors and foundations give money to those who ask. The makeup of the audience for both indoor and outdoor shows are seniors who dress well and still have money left. The current group in Springfield has made the budgets for social services and education shrink each year. Rockford residents can recall the direct correlation between cutting sports and crime. While kids in the arts aren’t known for breaking into cars, the waste of talent is a bigger crime. Not that Rock Valley College is responsible for all things theater in town, but Webb and his associates led the charge with making Starlight and Studio the crown jewels of live theater outside of Chicago. Rockford University is left standing along with pay-driven acting schools. New American Theater is no more and Studio is a memory. The important message is to save Starlight. Webb is at the end of his run. Yes, he and his predecessors built theater here and maybe someone can step up to replace them. No matter who leads them, the arts breathe life into this community. Perhaps someday Studio will be revived. But Starlight needs to be preserved at any cost.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of May 18-14, 2016

This Week: The full moon May 21 arrives at 1 degree Sagittarius and conjuncts fiery Mars in retrograde. Whew, not only that Mercury is going direct the following day May 22. This weekend will be full of surprises. Mars will provoke a very competitive energy, which could be a good thing, or a bad thing. Mercury going direct emphasizes accident-prone activity, yet having this planetary aspect behind us will provide some stability for the up and coming summer months. Be careful out there. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — A change within your work sector or residence may be on the forefront during this lunar cycle. Although you may be a little apprehensive at first, a wish come true is right around the corner. A dark-haired male has a solution to a long-standing problem by week’s end, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— If we hang on to the past we can never move forward into a more productive future. You’re in a competitive mode, make sure it’s a healthy competitive aspect. When jealousy bleeds into the mix it becomes counter productive not only for you, but for everyone involved within your orbit. An opportunity for travel arrives shortly, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — This will prove to be a very lucky timeframe, especially with financial aspects. An unexpected windfall will occur now. Your hard work and efforts are noticed by others as well as your talent. The media may take a shine to you at this time. A phone call from a friend or lover from the past will prove to be very enlightening, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Everything begins to slow down to a snail’s pace for a while midweek. Try not to panic, this is giving you the opportunity to rest and recover a bit from a health issue or an overbooked schedule. Romantic opportunities are becoming a focus at this time. Single Cancers are in a position to make new acquaintances. Attached Cancers fall into a second honeymoon stage with their significant other. Enjoy! Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A friend or romantic interest may call you on the carpet about your behavior. Count to ten before you lash out and try to take a good look at what they are trying to say. Maybe they are worried about your health and welfare. Don’t dismiss them until you’ve had the chance to digest their intentions. They may be trying to help you out. Your fuse can get quite short at times, try to lengthen it a bit

this week, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Your worries about your personal life will become unfounded shortly. The past has greatly affected the way you see your future unfolding. Innocent until proven guilty should become your motto at this time. Trust and be trustworthy and all will fall into place. Take a day off to get all of your annoying responsibilities out of the way. Once you feel caught up it’s easier to stay that way, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Slow down a bit here Libra. Although you should be patted on the back for your efforts and your work ethics, try not to overdo this week. Muscle pains or emotional discomfort may be something you will be working through at this time. The body and mind will heal simultaneously, they connect on very powerful levels. Take time out to get together with a friend for a meal. Relax and enjoy some down time, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Unexpected developments with family have a surprise twist this week for the better. Someone provides you with an answer to a prayer now. Another is able to help you sort out your behavior in the recent past. The underlying negative influences of another will be exposed now. From there you will move forward with clarity and confidence. Work aspects are favorable by week’s end, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Busy schedules have not permitted you to connect with friends or family as you would wish to until now. It almost appears as though you may feel a bit estranged from

loved ones this week. Try not to take the behaviors of others personal now. As information is revealed you will find that those around you have been overwhelmed with emotional issues. Perhaps they were trying not to burden you with these aspects, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — A concern over a loss may have you feeling a bit lost or distracted early on this week. Concentrate on mundane tasks and push yourself through this anxiety. Midweek this begins to lift and unexpected news from the past reveals a bright spot for you to focus on. An Aries, Leo or Sagittarius female has a connection for mixing business with pleasure. Be open for new opportunities, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Once you make the decision to change residence or a career path, stick to it. Change is not an easy element to deal with. The unknown always kicks up some fear and reservations, but you need to break free of the stagnation that’s been bringing you down. Even your loved ones will encourage you to take a leap of faith. Go for it, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Health issues may be challenging you or a loved one at this time. This is only a temporary vibration that needs to be addressed in a positive light. The diagnosis could be darker and uglier than the problem itself. Time and energy spent towards this will prove to be the best efforts yet this week. Changes will be apparent almost immediately, Pisces.

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.

Nation & World

Our ‘exceptional’ lack of a female President in global perspective By Dinesh Sharma

from reaching the White House. It is also the case that the media amplifies gender bias. In her book “Women for President: Media Bias in Nine Campaigns,” Erika Falk of John Hopkins University describes some of the common stereotypes about women running for president:” A woman is not emotionally or physically capable of assuming the obligations of the most powerful office in the world … [W]e’d be in mortal danger with a female president. … Definitely, a woman is too emotional. She acts on impulse. And often she’s too sensitive to criticism.” The gender bias may cut across other sectors of the economy, where only eighteen percent of women occupied the corner office. Evidence from the private sector suggests that men are judged on potential, while women are judged on their performance.

The Conversation

ost Americans believe in the exceptionalism of our nation. However, when it comes to electing a female president, the U.S. is not exceptional. Rather it is an exception to the rule. The U.S. ranks 97th in global ranking of women in government. Women hold only 19 percent of elected government offices here. While many countries, including Germany, Denmark and even Rwanda have embraced quotas for gender representation in government, the U.S. has shown no interest in adopting such a policy. This is startling because the U.S. is a leading advocate of women’s rights around the world through its agencies for international development. Hillary Clinton has been a leading champion of international women’s rights as the former First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State. In my new book, The Global Hillary, I suggest that as a leading advocate of “smart power” – that is, combining America’s ‘hard’ military power and ‘soft’ cultural power – Clinton is arguably better suited to tackle America’s global challenges than other candidates. Voters seem to agree. It is likely this is the election when female power finally reaches the White House, almost a century after women secured the right to vote in 1920 and 241 years after the country’s founding. If it happens, this historic achievement will advance America’s image and improve the conditions of girls, women and families at home and abroad.

Political geography of women’s leadership

The political geography of women’s power is uneven and disparate. Of the 175 current heads of state around the world, 18 - or just over 10 percent - are women. Most female leaders globally have had short stints of fewer than four years. In the UK, India and Israel women have held sway for long periods of time. Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi and Golda Meir were exceptional leaders not only for their staying power, but in part due to their family background and political history. They were path breakers though none openly claimed to be a feminist. From 1966 to 1979, these women entered a male world of politics without challenging the system. Indira Gandhi’s father was the founder of India’s political dynasty. Golda Meir was one of the early architects of the state of Israel. Thatcher rose through England’s parliamentary system with strong male sponsors in her party, even though she faced sexism and class bias as a ‘grocer’s daughter.’ Since the 1980s, Europeans have led in terms

Finally the right candidate?

of female heads of state, measured in both duration and frequency. In many instances, quotas have increased the participation of women in politics. In Iceland, President Vigdís Finnbogadóttir held the country’s highest office for the longest in the developed world – 16 years beginning in 1980. In Finland and Denmark, women have been elected – and re-elected – prime minister. German Chancellor Merkel, nicknamed ‘mutti’ or mother, has been in power for more than a decade. She has provided bold leadership on the refugee crisis, and in many ways served as a role model for Hillary Clinton and other women politicians in the U.S. Earlier in her career, she was often compared with Margaret Thatcher as the ‘Iron Frau’ or ‘Iron Chancellor’. Democracy arrived only recently in the totalitarian states that until mid-1980s were behind the Iron Curtain. Yet, beginning in the 1990s and continuing to the present day, Eastern European states have elected female leaders to the highest office. Kosovo elected Atifete Jahjaga in 2011, and she served for five years. Croatia elected Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic in 2015. Poland elected Ewa Kopacz in 2014. In 2013, Slovenia elected Alenka Bratusek. In Africa, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Liberia has been elected twice and other female leaders have been appointed to leadership roles in Senegal, Mauritius, Mali and the Central African Republic. In South Asia, women have historically come into power through dynastic succession, or in

the aftermath of assassinations or coups d’etat. Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto and Sheikh Hasina are examples of Asian women who have led large democracies on the subcontinent. In Sri Lanka, Sirimavo Bandaranaik widow of Ceylon’s former prime minister, served three terms. But Asian systems are changing with the times, debunking the argument that Asian women have been elected exclusively due to dynastic rule and family inheritance. In Taiwan, Tsai Ingwen, who has no political dynasty backing her, assumes office in May 2016. Women have also been democratically elected in Southeast Asia – in South Korea, Thailand and Myanmar. In the Middle East, there have not been any women as heads of state, with the exception of Israel’s Golda Meir. In fact, the Arab world ranks lowest in women’s political participation.

Can the US elect a woman?

In the Americas, women have been elected as heads of state in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Jamaica. Only Mexico and the U.S. lag behind. Both seem to have a deep-seated masculine political culture. One reason the U.S. hasn’t embraced gender parity in the executive branch is due to the fear of the unknown or sexism. Universally, women got the right to vote later than men and are still climbing the ladder of equality. Michael Genovese and Janie Steckenrider of Loyola Marymount University suggest these main reasons and others have kept women

Even with all of these barriers, Clinton is favored to win this fall’s general election. Many political scientists would agree Clinton would not be inching closer to the Democratic nomination if, in addition to her singular achievements, she had not been groomed by the two previous Democrats who held the office she now aspires towards: her husband, Bill Clinton, and her former boss, Barack Obama. If Hillary Clinton had not been the key architect of her husband’s victories in 1992 and 1996, she would not possess the financial and political network to campaign and raise funds. Likewise, if she were not the Secretary of State in the Obama administration, she would not have the serious national security credentials that far exceed other candidates. If the Democrats mobilize a diverse set of voters and turn out the vote in large numbers, the gender bias may finally recede. After all, progressive voters turned out against the race barrier in the previous two elections. It has been more than a century since the Women’s Liberty “Justice Bell” passed through Pennsylvania, marking the push for the Suffrage Amendment. Americans have been leading the cause of gender equality in the 21st century. Can they match global rhetoric of women’s empowerment and their domestic politics? Will the daughters of liberty finally have their day in the sun? In Hillary Rodham Clinton, they seem to have a viable candidate, and as good a chance as they’ve had in the past 240 years. • • • Sharma is an Associate Research Professor at the Institute of Global Cultural Studies, SUNY Binghamton, where he teaches in Harpur College, Psychology and the Department of Human Development.

Farmers market season kicking off

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

May marks the beginning of the growing season for most of the warm season crops. It also starts the beginning of farmers market season. Some of the farmers markets in our area have already opened while many others will soon open by the end of the month. For the most part, there is a farmers market in the Rockford region from Monday to Saturday. Some are open in the morning or evening. Many of them will have a mix of fruit/vegetable vendors as well as meat, cheese, eggs, crafts, baked goods, jams/jellies, and plants. Some farmers markets will have live music, kids crafts, and/or a community booth for a nonprofit. Each year there will be new farmers markets in the area. If you are a patron of the same farmers market each year, you might want to check in to see if the hours or days have changed as sometimes this can be the case between seasons. When visiting a farmers market, there are a couple of things you can bring with you. Plastic grocery bags/reusable totes are appreciated as it

means the vendor doesn’t have to use the ones that they have brought with them. You also want to bring cash with small bills. While some vendors are moving in the direction of being able to take credit cards, they still mostly take cash. A couple of farmers markets in our area accept Link too. As you visit the farmers market, check in at the welcome booth. You might find special events/programs going on that week that you wouldn’t know otherwise. Right now at the farmers market, you will find meat, eggs, cheese, baked goods, grains, and others. Fruit/vegetable vendors will be selling cool season vegetables like lettuces, spinach, and other leafy greens. Perennial spring vegetables of rhubarb and asparagus are also available. Many of these vendors have vegetable transplants for sell. This is a great way to get many of those unusual heirloom varieties of tomatoes and peppers. Most farmers markets will be held until October – if you can’t make it out opening week, you will have plenty of opportunities this summer. • • • Find Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for your athome garden every week in The Rock River Times.

Both Chicago teams cool down a bit By Cat Garcia Contributor

ot starts in baseball are always fun to witness, especially in Chicago when both sides of town seem to be off to one. But exciting starts are always due to cool off eventually, and it seems that both sides of the Windy City experienced a bit more of a turbulent week than they’ve been used to this season. On the north side of town, the Cubs faced a tough homestand in which the weather got the better of them. After a rainout on Monday, the Cubs came away with a close win on Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres. The Cubs won Tuesday’s contest by only one run in an 8-7 victory after reliever Justin Grimm gave up three earned runs, and Adam Warren gave up one. The Padres would then sweep the Cubs’ doubleheader at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, handing the Cubs their first back to back losses of the season. Kyle Hendricks went 6.2 innings in the matinee game, allowing six hits but only two earned runs coupled with an impressive eight strikeouts. In the night cap, John Lackey pitched eight innings of three-hit ball, only allowing one earned run with seven strikeouts.

After a day off on Thursday, the Cubs welcomed the highly touted division rival Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs scored eight runs off of Pirates’ starter Francisco Liriano in just 4.2 innings on Friday, and scored one final run off of Pirates’ closer Arquimedes Caminero. Jason Hammel got the start on Friday for the Cubs, allowing just one earned run with eight strikeouts during his 6.2 inning outing. Cubs’ ace Jake Arrieta took the mound on Saturday afternoon against Pirates’ starter Jeff Locke. Arrieta recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts during his eight-inning outing, while the Cubs offense scored eight runs on the Pirates including two home runs off Locke in the bottom of the fourth. Cubs won 8-2. The Cubs dropped the last game of the series and the homestand to Pittsburgh on Sunday, with Pirates’ pitcher Gerrit Cole just slightly out-pitching Cubs starter Jon Lester. It was a brilliant pitchers duel on Sunday, and a rare low-scoring affair for the Cubs as well as the Pirates, who have had a strong offensive start to the season. The final score was just 2-1. The Cubs are on the road for a nine-game road trip, starting off with Milwaukee before

heading out west to San Francisco and returning back to the Midwest to finish off the road trip with a three-game series at St. Louis.

Southsiders

The White Sox had similar fate as the Cubs last week, facing both the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees. The White Sox beat Texas in impressive fashion during the first game of the series, before dropping the final two games to Texas. Starter Mat Latos had one of his more turbulent outings of the season, giving up five earned runs to Texas on Wednesday along with five walks and no strikeouts. The White Sox then headed to the Bronx on Friday and sent Chris Sale to the mound against Yankees’ starter Luis Severino, who the White Sox hot offense quickly rocked with seven earned runs in just 2.2 innings of work. Jose Quintana suffered his second loss on the season on Saturday after going seven innings and only allowing two earned runs with five strikeouts. The Yankees doled out their exceptionally talented bullpen tandem of Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller, and Aroldis Chapman on the White Sox, quickly silencing their bats and making Saturday’s contest a

close call loss for the south siders with a final score of 2-1. And finally the White Sox dropped the final game of the series before heading back to Chicago, on the back of a shaky start from new pencil-in rotation addition Miguel Gonzalez. Gonzalez allowed three earned runs and five walks in 4.2 innings of work. The White Sox superior bullpen has had a bit of a rough road trip, giving up a total of 14 earned runs and seven walks over six games. The White Sox are back at U.S. Cellular Field after an off day on Monday to take on the Houston Astros in a three-game set before hosting the Kansas City Royals this weekend. In a recent roster move, the White Sox acquired OF Jason Bourgeois from the Cincinnati Reds for cash consideration late Monday evening. Bourgeois has reported to Triple-A Charlotte and will remain an outfield depth option should a need arise. • • • Cat is a Staff Writer for BP Wrigleyville and BP Southside, Baseball Prospectus’ blogs covering Chicago baseball, and a Contributor for Hardballtimes.com.

NFL

Bears’ Pace taking cold but proven approach

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

uccess in the NFL is fleeting. As an executive for a team, if you’re not adapting, you won’t be relevant for long. The salary cap and lack of dynamic talent at quarterback for everyone places a mandate on franchises. Not tolerating locker room problems, cutting players at peak value just before a downhill slope, drafting well, and constantly making transactions are key characteristics of contending teams. When taking a look at organizations like the Patriots, Steelers, Packers, and recently the Seahawks, these kinds of processes have become routine. Pittsburgh and Green Bay almost always draft auxiliary pieces well. Seattle tops the league in wheeling and dealing undrafted and unheralded players in trades and signings. And New England with Bill Belichick is notorious for letting older performing players go in favor of the development of cheaper younger guys. Former stalwarts like Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork come to mind. It hasn’t always worked out for these teams with a championship, but one can’t deny that the relevant turnover hasn’t played into a winning consistency for any number of years. It’s about being in the hunt and cutting your losses. You adjust because that’s what is needed. These are facets the Bears have struggled with in their fight for relevancy on a regular basis with previous regimes. It’s why fans disappointingly ride the coattails of the ‘85 Bears. Overvaluing and sticking with players who either weren’t true foundations or were past their primes like Tommie Harris or Lance Briggs. Numerous busts drafted year after year with no young talent core. Festering locker room problems with no balance or leadership on the roster

6 WEEK PROGRAM

Bears GM Ryan Pace meets with reporters at this year’s NFL draft combine. @chicagobears

like the 2014 Bears. If you depressingly think about it, there hasn’t been real direction in a long time. Remember Dan Bazuin or Gabe Carimi? Yeah, it’s best to repress those memories. However, it seems the tide is turning. In just two years, general manager Ryan Pace has reversed the trend. Egomaniac receiver Brandon Marshall was jettisoned almost immediately. Hothead enigma Jeremiah Ratliff was cut after being mishandled by the maligned Marc Trestman and Phil Emery brain trust. And the haggling of players past their peak and quality drafting is hitting every rhythmic cord. The second year GM acquired four potential long-term starters and stars in the 2015 offseason, in draftees Kevin White, Eddie Goldman, Hroniss Grasu, Jeremy Langford, Adrian

Amos and free agent, Pernell McPhee. 2016 saw the same in signing building block guys in Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman as well as drafting unsung depth players to a franchise that desperately needed it. If you had any reservations about the model growing, the recent release of Matt Slauson quelled all concerns. A guy that was by all accounts one of the best Bears chemistry-wise and arguably Chicago’s best offensive lineman was cut, simply because of his age at 30 years old (unless there’s an unlikely dramatic backstory undisclosed). Pace’s decision in regards to Slauson signals the lack of loyalty needed to players that won’t stick around long term. It’s a cutthroat business first and foremost. You hear “What have you done for me lately” in roster building but if we’re getting technical it’s really “What have you done for me lately and where do you fit in our plans long term?”

Slauson didn’t fit and Pace showed a ruthless foresight in letting him go. The Bears want a youth movement and their new players in a position to succeed. Retool while competing simultaneously. Regardless of criticism of his moves, Pace displays a cold, calculated confidence that’s refreshing. It’s juggling that will make any average team executive’s head spin. Pace has now set the precedent that he’s well above that bar. Win now and keep your quality situation in reserve. There’s no room for down years. Contend regularly or lose luster. Organizations like the Packers or Patriots have already set this ideal. Under Ryan Pace, the Bears finally have the same method to their madness.

Around Lambeau

The Packers needed depth on both fronts. Boylan alum Dean Lowry was drafted in the fourth round and while

not a star with physical limitations, he’ll be a solid rotational end. In fact, most of the 2016 draft class and signees figure to compete well. There was no flash in a typical quiet Wisconsin offseason. First rounder UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark can be a plug and play player given the retirement of BJ Raji in the offseason. There are just concerns. He’s undersized at 314 pounds to play nose in a 3-4 scheme and scouts noted that Clark only had big games against weaker competition. Given this, he figures to be a raw development player in year one which fits the Packers’ patience mold. Tackle Jason Spriggs from Indiana drafted in the second round, will probably be the most impactful player for the Packers. Offensive line has been a position in flux for the past few seasons. The game’s best passer in Aaron Rodgers has been hampered by some sub-standard line play more often than not. Spriggs has the build and pedigree at 6-foot-6, 304 pounds to play on either side to stabilize this issue and be a fixture at tackle with Bryan Bulaga or David Bakhtiari. He’ll have early struggles given some technique issues he needs to work through, but there’s no reason he can’t be a day one value starter. With the best player in the NFL in Rodgers, nothing else of note needed to be done this offseason. Save for Julius Peppers, Green Bay hasn’t signed dynamic free agents recently. They build around one of the best quarterbacks, turn unheralded players we know nothing about into starters, and contend. It’s an envious position as the rest of the NFC North grows more competitive. • • • Robert is a staff writer at SB Nation’s Second City Hockey and No Coast Bias.

Sale-ing toward a Cy Young By James Fegan Contributor

riday night found Chris Sale in New York City, easily, almost sleepily dancing his way through another major league lineup. He took miles off his fastball, he threw a weird, loopy slurve-like pitch that isn’t supposed to be effective at the major league level, and the pitcher who forced his name into every baseball-watching household in the country by leading the American League in strikeout rate the past two seasons, was content to collect just six over nine innings against a struggling Yankees lineup. As dominant and overpowering as Sale’s career has been, it has been punctuated by a hint of frailty, or at least fear of it. His unusual delivery has had every amateur observer counting down the days until his elbow explodes, he needed to fight his general manager to stay in the rotation

in 2012 due to durability concerns, and his stint on the disabled list in 2014 is the only thing that interrupted a trend of waning performance down the stretch of every season. Sale is captivating, but demands an eye toward how he is doing as much as what he is doing. Reduced velocity and an absence of his best stuff would be a red flag if Sale didn’t seem so at peace, so purposeful and in control. Playing on perhaps the best team he’s been on in his entire career, Sale is 8-0 (which is the best mark in baseball), his ERA is a minuscule 1.67 (second only in baseball to his teammate, Jose Quintana) and his less-than-max effort approach has allowed him to glide to a MLB-high 59.1 innings. Meanwhile, reigning AL Cy Young Winner Dallas Keuchel is missing a mile off his fastball and looking like the pre-2014 breakout version of himself. David Price is racking up more strike-

outs than ever but has a 6.00 ERA through eight starts, Corey Kluber’s stuff still looks sharp but he’s also off to a slow start results-wise and has somehow already been charged with five losses. Old divisional foe Max Scherzer is blowing away hitters in the National League these days, and Felix Hernandez, who is still just 30 years-old despite being in his 12th year, and was once the standard bearer for greatness in the American League, is pulling a far more high-wire act to succeed with diminished stuff than Sale, and likely not by choice. From this view, the year where Sale has finally found the wisdom to ease his foot off the gas, the road to his first Cy Young Award has cleared in front of him. He always had the necessary talent, now he has every intangible skewed in his favor, a huge head start on the field, and could be holding back his best bullets for the stretch drive.

In the midst of his laid-back Friday night start, where Sale recorded just five swings-andmisses, the lowest total he’s had in any start since September of 2014, he still found it in him to blow a 96 mph fastball by Carlos Beltran, and even if his slurve looks bizarre, it’s still so unhittable when he uses it to dot the outer half that most do not even offer. Save for some shakiness in a blowout win over Baltimore, Sale hasn’t been tested, or had his approach of showing just enough of his best stuff thrown back at his face. Until it happens, it can’t be certain that all the fury he’s uncorked the last four years is still lying in wait. But even right now he’s the best pitcher in the league, and that’s a pretty good place to start a Cy Young case.
