Republican Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, facing a challenge to his seat from Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, Tuesday said he cannot support Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for the White House.

“I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for President regardless of the political impact on my candidacy or the Republican Party,” Kirk said in a statement, where he added Trump did not have the temperament to command the U.S. military or take control of the nation’s nuclear weapons.

“After much consideration, I have concluded that Donald Trump has not demonstrated the temperament necessary to assume the greatest office in the world.”

For Kirk, viewed as one of the most vulnerable senators up for re-election in 2016, this is not his first step out of line with GOP leadership this election cycle. In March, he met with President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Merrick Garland, defying calls from fellow Republican senators.

Kirk had previously said he would support Trump should he win the nomination, telling Chicago’s NBC 5 in March, “If he is the nominee I certainly would [support him].”

Kirk dropped Trump hours after House Speaker Paul Ryan R-Wisc. said Tuesday that Trump made the “textbook definition of a racist comment” when he blasted U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel. Sen. Lindsey Graham R-S.C. also said Tuesday that Trump should not be the next president.

“I regret those comments that he made,” Ryan said of Trump at an event outside Washington Tuesday. “Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., added, “It’s time to quit attacking various people that you competed with or various minority groups in the country and get on message.”

Kirk is his statement also highlighted Trump’s attacks on other social groups.

“I have spent my life building bridges and tearing down barriers–not building walls.” he said. “That’s why I find Donald Trump’s belief that an American-born judge of Mexican descent is incapable of fairly presiding over his case is not only dead wrong, it is un-American.”

He continued, “While I oppose the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump’s latest statements, in context with past attacks on Hispanics, women and the disabled like me, make it certain that I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for President regardless of the political impact on my candidacy or the Republican Party.”

Trump issued a statement Tuesday saying his continued attacks against the Indiana-native Curiel focused on his Mexican heritage had been “misconstrued.”

he IREA will host the 15th Annual Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair on August 20 and 21. We appreciate the support we have received during that time, especially funding from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation which supports renewable energy, efficiency and natural areas preservation in the state. Their renewable energy projects include numerous school installations which familiarize students with the technologies and their performance characteristics and allow them to share data with other students from participating schools via internet.

The Foundation also supports the acquisition and restoration of Illinois natural areas.

While numerous projects have been funded, we are most closely involved with the efforts at Sand Ridge Prairie and Nachusa Grasslands.

The many assisted organizations appreciate the significant impacts the Foundation continues to make.

We provided the overall concepts for the project.

The building was heavily insulated and was powered by a PV system with battery backup to run LED lights intended to grow lettuce, radishes, carrots and other vegetables. The LED lights were newly developed by Victor Zaderej, an engineer with interests in energy efficiency and solar energy. Dave Merrill of Sun Air installed the PV system.

We found a new home for it to be used by numerous students. The building will be upgraded to improve its performance based on what was learned from our use of it. Early last Saturday morning, it was moved by current members and alumni of the Future Farmers of America to its new home at Oregon High School.

We will be working closely with Josh Nelson, OHS Ag teacher, on a variety of student experiments using the facility. He has impressive plans for using it to educate not only Oregon students from several disciplines and levels, but those from other nearby districts as well. Nelson and his students will explain the facility and its use at this year’s Fair. We wish them well.

on’t tell me the Park District doesn’t plan and doesn’t see the future clearly and inclusively.

The turnout and all the partners for the opening of the mammoth UW Health Sports Factory was wonderful, as was the dedication ceremony, as is the very extensive 108,000 square-foot facility itself. You really must visit to realize how big and cool our new treasure on the Rock River is. The many partners in the 2010 Reclaiming First should be so proud for provided a wonderful June 1 and future feature for the entire Rockford area.

“Did you know that June 1 was Tim Dimke’s 10th anniversary as the executive director of the Rockford Park District?” Webbs Norman asked me at his home the following Friday. “I retired on May 31 and Tim took over the next day.” Norman, former executive director of our parks, first worked for the district as a college student and seasonal employee in 1955.

Dimke has been working for the park district for 43 years, and Norman started his formal tenure in 1972. He is so proud of Tim Dimke; he coached him. Norman’s health would not allow him to attend the opening, but he watched it by video link. He had complete admiration for Dimke when I spoke to him.

In his usual humble way, Dimke did not mention that it was also his diamond anniversary at the opening of the UW Sport Factory. This gem-like approach is typical of the spirit of the Park District.

Everyone else was put first. With good reason, better partnerships cannot be found. Many times over the past few years, Dimke was always touting to me personally, “Reclaiming First.” I remember him saying,

“Reclaiming First really has it right with it’s funding; it’s from local and state grants and hotel taxes. What great partners we have.” The $24.4 million facility is only part of a the $54 million capital project that also includes expansion of Sportscore II near Interstate 90. For more go to reclaimingfirst.org.

I was skeptical; but they delivered – big time. The 14 volley ball nets and 14 basketball hoops that swing down from the ceiling are very impressive. When they are up, “impressive” is the word for the space available for convention businesses. Oh, there’s 16 wrestling mats and 42 pickleball courts, too. Oh, then there’s the new restaurant coming from Prairie Street Brewery and the 442 parking spaces.

If you don’t believe all this is big time, go get a smile from the huge basket ball hoop at the south end of the extensive new river walk and deck.

The City of Rockford and Rockford Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau were among the other leaders in attaining the property and bringing the UW Health Sports Factory to the heart of the community. Mayor Larry Morrissey and RACVB’s Director John Groh and board should be praised.

I hear more than 300 days of the first year are already booked. They are conservatively predicting $8.4 million will come into the area annually.

Even “Mr. Serious” Justin Fern of Urban Equities was grinning ear to ear on June 1. When I sent him a photo of himself, with the title “Justin Fern actually smiling,” he e-mailed back, “That’s when you know it’s a big day!”

Rockford area, I think we have many “big days” to come. Celebrate and smile yourselves.

You’ll smile again when you hear the big things happening, brought to you by the Rock River Trail.

More next week.

Celebrating

Don & Judy Holder

50 YEARS TOGETHER June 11, 1966 Don, originally from Waterloo, IA, met his wife, Judy Healey, originally from DeKalb, IL, on a blind date. It gets even more ironic. Donald, an orthopedic surgeon who has practiced in Rockford for over 30 years, went to the University of Iowa, and Judy, who was a high school guidance counselor at Guilford High School for 27 years, went to Iowa State University. They moved to Rockford in 1970 and lived in the palatial Versailles Apartments just off East State Street. As they began to build their careers, Don joined a practice just down the street next to St. Anthony’s Medical Center and more importantly just across the street from Lino’s. Judy was taking substitute teaching jobs until she had Guilford High School beating down her door, practically begging her to join their staff as a full time guidance counselor. Then, in 1973, they moved to what was the north side of Rockford by Rock Valley College where they raised two kids who both reside in Highland Ranch, CO and are doing well. Today, they keep busy by traveling, mostly to see their grand kids, taking classes, attending operas and musicals, taking more classes, going to lectures, and taking even more classes, mostly computer classes, you know, your stereotypical intellectual stuff. So drop them a line, send them a text, or just stop by and say hi.

OF THE

COMMUNITY This Saturday, residents can drop off unneeded or expired prescription, over-thecounter and pet medications, inhalers and mercury-filled thermometers at four sites during the Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful annual Medication Collection.

This year a Winnebago location is added to the responsible disposal sites that include Machesney Park, South Beloit and Belvidere. All sites open at 9 a.m. Belvidere, South Beloit and Winnebago will accept items until Noon. Only Machesney Park is open until 2 p.m. Needles or bio-hazardous materials will not be accepted.

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful organizes the community service event to avoid water supply contamination when medicine is flushed into sewers, groundwater or ends up in a landfill.

Filtration plants cannot neutralize or test for every drug. The effort also helps stop accidental poisoning by misusing medication and reduces the opportunity for addiction. In addition, it helps prevent animals rummaging in garbage containing pharmeceuticals from being poisoned.

“Prescription drug overdose has tripled in the last 16 years,” said Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful Executive Director Lori Gummow. “Removing old medicines from the home protects children, seniors and pets from accidental poisoning, and reduces the chance for family members to become addicted,” she added. “The Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful Medication Collection teaches proper disposal of unused medicine and provides a safe option for doing so,” Gummow said.

“When bringing items to the collection, please keep items in the original containers, with the product name visible,” Gummow said. “Your personal information can be removed or blacked out on prescription labels; the containers will be recycled,” she noted.

The four locations and times for the June 11 Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful drive-up Medication Collection are: Winnebago County

• Machesney Park: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Machesney Town Center, 8750 N. 2nd St. • South Beloit: 9 a.m. to noon, Fire Department, 429 Gardner St. • Winnebago: 9 a.m. to Noon, Rockford Health Physicians, 102 Landmark Dr. Boone County

• Belvidere: 9 a.m. to noon, Township Office, 8200 Fairgrounds Rd. –Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful

Mini police academy gives kids look at law enforcement

After the grand opening of the UW Health Sports Factory on June 1, Transform Rockford held a brainstorming session featuring the keynote speaker at the event, Peter Kageyama, author of For the Love of Cities. He had many examples of creativity that make cities lovable and how regular people have really amazing ideas they make work.

Love and Fun – those two words summarize what he was trying to get participants in the brainstorming session to come up with for Rockford’s future. The Barrel Room of the Prairie Street Brewery was set out with a buffet and bar with 11 tables of eight. Each table was given a big sheet of paper and told to go to work on an event with a budget of $815.

For the subsequent 10 weeks, The Rock River Times will print those ideas for you and invite those who created them to comment. Enjoy the first one, and let us know what you think via email: contact@rockrivertimes.com. Frank Schier

Starlight enters 50th season S

By Richard Gubbe

the highest gross box office receipts ever, Webb says. Based on the novel Le Stilgoe, The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.

Classic songs that came from the show include Think of Me, Angel of Music, Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Masquerade and the title song.

Performance dates are June 22-25 and July 20-24.

tarlight Theatre Director Mike Webb combines some of his favorite shows along with the theater’s best box office draw in 50 years when the season opens with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang today at Rock Valley College. There are two giant Andrew Lloyd Webber productions on tap in The Phantom of the Opera and Jesus Christ Superstar along with a sentimental favorite offered for the third time in Children of Eden.

“Very few theaters ever make it to 50 years,” Webb told The Rock River Times before the opener.

“We’re the longest running theater in the region and hopefully it will continue another 50 years.”

In the fall of 1967, a group of Rock Valley College students wanted to perform a musical beside the picturesque farm pond to bring their community outdoor performances. With the guidance of Reuben Johnson, acting Dean of Community Services, they chose Finian’s Rainbow, which explores the overcoming of racial barriers through hard work and a little bit of magic. Opening night of Finian’s Rainbow was a greater success than anticipated.

For 49 years, the seats have evolved from lawn chairs to the spacious, 1,000-seat marvel with a roof that opens and closes with the weather.

In June 2013, the 135,000-square-foot facility known as Bengt Sjostrom Theatre was now Starlight Theatre, designed by Belvidere native Jeanne Gang and Studio Gang Architects. The design’s most unique feature is its 200-foot, retractable star-shaped roof, which opens like the petals of a flower, allowing audiences to enjoy the night sky with the option of being protected from inclement weather.

RVC theater outdoor productions number more than 140 with casts and crews totaling nearly 25,000 with total attendance upward of a million people.

Webb said Fleming’s children’s book to his son was the beginning of it all. The RVC show will feature a motorcycle that goes backward and three cars onstage. Webb is putting this show on stage “was harder than Mary Poppins.”

Chitty takes a musical adventure with an outof-this-world car that flies through the air and sails the seas. An eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts sets about restoring an old race car from a scrap heap with the help of his children Jeremy and Jemima. They soon discover the car has magical properties including the ability to float and take flight. Trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself but the family joins forces with Truly Scrumptious and batty Grandpa.

The RVC stage production of Chitty features a car made in Indiana just for the RVC show.

Performance dates are June 8-11 and July 6-10.

Chitty Chitty Bang, Bang

Jesus Christ Superstar

With music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and his brother, Robert B. Sherman, the MGM Motion Picture achieved instant acclaim. The G-rated play was adapted for the stage by Jeremy Sams with the licensed script adapted by Ray Roderick. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the musical was inspired by the 1968 film produced by Albert R. Broccoli, which was in turn inspired by the novel Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car

by Ian Fleming.

Children of Eden

This is also the third go-round for Jesus Christ Superstar. Propelled by a stirring score from Andrew Lloyd Webber, both satirical and tender, Jesus Christ Superstar illuminates the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.

The first rock opera, created as a concept album at the end of the turbulent ‘60s, was centered on the world’s most famous social and political rebel. Jesus’ meteor-like rise in renown provides, as the title suggests, a parallel to contempo-

rary celebrity worship to become Jesus Christ Superstar. As his radical teachings are evermore embraced, Judas increasingly questions the enlightened motives of this new prophet, resulting in betrayal. Christ’s final days are dramatized with emotional intensity, thought-provoking edge and explosive theatricality.

Webb has Nelson Gutierrez as Jesus and crosses gender lines in the cast with female Judas. “It’s not meant to be controversial but to allow someone to experience Judas,” he said. Jim Chabucos returns to play guitar for the show. Performance dates are June 15-18 and July 13-17.

The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera was last performed in 2011, breaking Webb’s unwritten rule of never twice within 10 years. But Phantom was his biggest money maker and if this is to be Webb’s final season, he wanted to make it as big as he could.

Phantom was Starlight’s single highest ticket seller ever, Webb said. He invited past cast members back and the most notable to return is Samantha Owen as Christine.

Webb said the demand was there to do the show and he saved a few bucks by using past props and costumes. The script will feature a few changes, he added.

From the book by Webber and Richard Stilgoe with song lyrics by Charles Hart, the show had

Children of Eden is a Webb favorite and was also performed the first season Starlight opened as well as the first season offered in the United States in 1997.

“I was shopping for a new show and we did the American premiere,” Webb said. “It didn’t do very well in London but I liked it. I listened to a cassette and said ‘I am doing this play.’”

Webb and lead Jerry Stevens met during the Studio Theatre offering of Sunday in the Park with George at RVC. “It was a sellout and in the middle of the show, Jerry turns to me and said, ‘Isn’t it time to do Children of Eden again?’ I called and asked Karen (Manley Kahler) and she said yes also.”

Based on the story of Genesis, the age-old conflict of parents and children an epic, heartfelt musical that is G-rated. From musical theatre greats Stephen Schwartz and John Caird comes an inspirational musical about parents, children, faith and centuries of unresolved family business.

“It has a great message of getting along as a family and stopping violence,” Webb said.

Adam, Eve, Noah and the “Father” who created them, deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that “the hardest part of love is letting go.”

The production stems from the book by John Caird with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz from the original concept by Charles Lisanby.

The show uses a large cast to take on the story of the Old Testament in a moving, foot-stomping experience. Children of Eden is recommended for faith-based groups looking for a large-scaled pageant with sweeping music. Performance dates are June 29-July 2 and July 27-31.

Poetry premiere at JR Kortman

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

D

id you miss it? The Mas Tequila Review’s Editor and Publisher Richard Vargas held a poetry reading at at CNVR Company on May 14, featuring the work of J.T. Whitehead Editor-In Chief of So it Goes: The Literary Journal of the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Make sure you don’t miss other events hosted

by Pablo Corona at 317 Jefferson St., by visiting cnvrcompany.com or their Facebook page.

The other featured reader was supposed to be Dennis Gulling, with selections from his new work, The Blood Dark Sea. However, he was ill that evening and a friend had a cure for his absence which will be related later.

A well-known poet, Vargas read excellent pieces by some of his favorite poets in several issues of his review, formerly based in Albuquerque, N.M. where he moved several years ago.

He has returned to Rockford with his review and has hosted several readings in the area. The new issue of The Mas Tequila Review is available online at amazon.com.

Vargas’ featured reader, J.T. Whitehead read from his first work, The Table of Elements: Poems 1992 to 2007.

As pointed out by Dr. Peter J. Stanlis’ Robert Frost: the Poet as Philosopher, Frost disparaged the separation of science from the liberal arts, saying the duality of matter and spirit could be stated in terms of each other and they are one.

Whitehead states spirit in terms of matter in his title piece’s first stanza addressing the permanence of tracks in the sands of the desert/ truth in the lines: “What if all those sands were limestone - / calcium, sodium & silicon? / Are

These are some of the books read at the May 14 poetry reading at CNVR Company, hosted

by Richard Vargas, editor & publisher of The Mas Tequila Review. The book of poems on the left, The Dark Blood Sea by Dennis Gulling, may be purchased from the author himself this Saturday, June 11, 7 p.m., at JR Kortman, 107 N. Main Street, if you have the nerve to attend his reading of such and such. Frank Schier

you soul-less now or more alone?”

His poem’s titles speak to our duality using the elements, plus other namings of science. Here a few of his titles “Chrome,” “Neon,” “Silicon,” “Rust,” “Fools Gold,” and finally “Sodium Pentothal.” Reading from the beginning to end of his book will give you an equation to enjoy. Contact him at vonnegutlibrary.org.

As noted, Dennis Gulling was sick. Since I have known him and his work since 1984, I could have told you that years ago. A kindred spirit.

On May 14 however, he was reported to be really physically ill, and could not attend to present his newest twistings. So his friend, Zombie Logic Press’ Editor & Publisher Thomas

Vaultonburg read several of his favorite pieces in Gulling’s place. Like Vargas and Whitehead, Vaultonburg is an excellent reader and did a fine job as Gulling’s editor. He knew just the crowd pleasers/shockers to read from the best outlaw poetry book I have read in a long long time.

The Blood Dark Sea will light you up as a real page burner and soak you with “I don’t believe he wrote that, let alone published it” laughter. I had to read it in one sitting.

I could see former and deceased Belvidere poet Todd Moore, 1937-2010, the father of outlaw poetry, sloshing in Gulling’s red splatter and yucking it up. As very finely pointed out by Vargas, who wrote the introduction to this wild

work, Moore was Gulling mentor, first as a his high school teacher and then as a lifelong fiend (that was not misspelled). Moore is famous for his 13 volumes of Dillinger. Crude, rude and a riot to know, Moore taught Gulling about shock and awefulness. Read the epilogue in Gulling’s book by Moore’s kid, Theron Moore. Daddy Moore’s slim volumes now sell for $99 online, they are so rare and raw. Vargas says someone is thinking about putting them all together in one anthology. God, really, help us. Go to m-etropolis.com/blog/toddmoore-1937-2010/ for more Moore.

Showing too much can be finely crafted, Gulling’s new work shows he’s taken to the Moore’s violence like a hot slug ripping out of a flaming barrel – of monkeys. As one woman I read “The Harpers” to said really loudly in the Dockside Bar, “HE IS FUNNY!” Gulling reads as one subtly hilarious, dangerously quiet, completely twisted and evolving primate whose unique voice will scare you with it’s dark talent. Look for the poems that mention a coffee pot, calliope music, and a purse.

Each are in separate poems I will not ruin for you by gassing about them.

So on May 14 you missed it. Dennis Gulling even missed it, so don’t get rattled, you wimp, as Moore might say. Instead, trip the light fantastic down to JR Kortman Center for Design, 107 N. Main St., on June 11 – that’s this Saturday for the calendar-challenged – at 7 p.m.

If he’s not sicker than usual, again, you can meet the meek and mild appearing Mr. Dennis Gulling, and hear and see him read in dulcet tones his works of terror and delight. See you there. Or as Gulling might say if you’re thinking twice (as you should) about going to this poetry reading, “You’re not a wimp or whimperer, are you? If you are, come on down!”

RAAC partners on ‘Telling Stories, Telling Belongings’

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

T

he Rockford Area Arts Council has been partnering with the Rockford Housing Authority since 2013 to unearth hidden artistic and entrepreneurial talent. We have also partnered to create New Mix – Rockford in the Ellis Heights community to shape and move Ellis Heights forward. We’ve shared our Rockford City Market booth, ArtScene has been at Fairgrounds and that’s just the start. We are both excited to be bringing a great opportunity to our community through a collaborative event led by the National Public Housing Museum.

The event invites participants to tell their story through cherished belongings. The event is Thursday, June 16 from 5:30-7:30 p.m., with the storytelling beginning at 6 p.m. The gathering will take

place at Fairgrounds Valley Community Center, 1015 W. Jefferson St. Refreshments will be served.

The event; entitled Telling Stories, Telling Belongings; is modeled after two previous storytelling events in Chicago and will offer an opportunity for community listening and connection through storytelling.

The event will feature storytellers from across public housing in Rockford who will bring an object to help tell their story about living in public housing in a relaxed “show and tell” format. Community members from Rockford are also encouraged to come and tell their stories through cherished objects.

When asked about the significance of objects in storytelling in helping encourage a shared history, Associate Director and Curator of the National Public Housing Museum, Todd Palmer

states, “Stories change the narrative, and even the most mundane belongings serve tangibly to connect us to individual recollections. These objects remind us that our stories unfold in the shared places and spaces of everyday life.”

This event hopes to bring people from public housing and other community residents together to continue a positive dialogue and build new friendships.

Ron Clewer, Rockford Housing Authority Chief Executive Officer, sees the value of using the arts. “This event and events like this will raise the narrative of what housing can be,” Clewer said. “This will illuminate the successes and the challenges those living in public housing experience,” Clewer continued.

The National Public Housing Museum is the

first cultural institution in the United States dedicated to interpreting the American experience in public housing. The Museum draws on the power of place and memory to illuminate the resilience of the poor and working class families of every race and ethnicity to realize the promise of America. It seeks to open its permanent home in the last extant building of the Jane Addams Homes which will begin construction in 2017 in Chicago.

To get a better sense of the event and what you will need to bring to tell your story, check out nphm.org/whats-new for a sample of the event held in March in Chicago. We have all been reminded of the importance of storytelling of late, I hope that you will join us for this event and leave something with the audience but more importantly, take something with you.

Turtles sequel bland, boring, predictable

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

I

n 2014’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we saw the series undergo another reboot.

Although the franchise underwent many refreshes on the small screen, Jonathan Liebesman’s film would be the first theatrical live action incarnation since 1993’s woeful Turtles in Time.

Blending motion capture CGI with live-action performances, TMNT exceeded box office expectations and a sequel was greenlit given the eventual title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Dave Green would replace Liebesman in the director’s chair with Arrow’s Stephen Amell revealed to be playing fan favorite, Casey Jones.

A year has passed since the Turtles saved New York from the Shredder (Brian Tee) but not much has changed for our heroes. They still live in the shadows, fearful of not being accepted by the citizens they watch over. Instead they’ve allowed Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to take the credit, which catapults him to super-celeb status. When the Shredder escapes custody, the Turtles must face their old foe who has teamed up with Krang (Brad Garrett),

an alien who looks to enslave the world with his war machine, the Technodrome.

The amount of CGI featured in TMNT: Out of the Shadows makes calling it live action a little disingenuous. While the motion capture effects of the Turtles are impressive, the set pieces are so utterly cartoonish that it has the feel of a fully animated film. Green’s overuse

of virtual camera angles present the action as a video game for much of the movie making it difficult to invest in due to the feeling of detachment.

The relationship between April (Megan Fox) and Casey (Stephen Amell) is as underdeveloped as the characters. Green appears to think that by having them share screen time

is enough for their chemistry to smoulder. It isn’t. Not that TMNT: Out of the Shadows is intended to be a romantic tale, however the same issues plague the rest of the film. Shredder is never portrayed as a credible threat to the Turtles with the story lacking a villain for the most part. Krang is supposed to be the big evil here but his on-screen absence is notable.

The Turtles have their hands fool with the footsoldiers and the introduction of fellow mutants Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Sheamus) but they lack a nemesis and as such there is no sense of danger.

Out of the Shadows is a peculiar family film in that it looks too dark for kids but offers little for older audiences. There is nothing unsuitable in the context of the film for younger viewers, but the overall tone and look of the film suggests otherwise.

There are many characters credited with the comic relief role but for all the attempts at humor the script offers little in the way of laughs.

What should be an exciting and fun action comedy comes across as bland and dull.

Tube Talk: Giving a new look to an old town

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

I

admit it. I love most (but not all) of the ghost hunting shows on TV. Some, like Destination America’s Ghost Brothers – centered on a trio of African-American paranormal investigators who acknowledge the humor in their circumstances – are fun and engaging.

Others, like Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures can be so overly dramatic that I tune in mostly to mock their pretension.

What I respond to the most about these kinds of shows is when they delve into stories about previous generations, especially when historic locations are being investigated.

So when I heard Destination America’s newest supernatural series was centered on investigating a copious amount of purported paranormal activity in the historic town of Shepherdstown, West Virginia, I was intrigued.

Located about as far from Washington D.C. as we are from Chicago, Shepherdstown – the oldest town in West Virginia – was directly impacted by the Civil War, with September 1862 proving particularly bloody.

On September 17 of that year, the Battle of Antietam was fought nearby, leading to an estimated 5,000 to 8,000 casualties flooding into and overwhelming the small town. Three days later,

over 100 Confederate soldiers were killed in the Battle of Shepherdstown. That’s a lot of carnage for any town to handle. No wonder Shepherdstown has long had a reputation as one of the most haunted towns in America.

Despite a current population hovering somewhere around 2,000, in just one year local residents reportedly logged over 1,000 calls to

police about paranormal activity. That’s why the premise of Ghosts of Shepherdstown starts with local law enforcement inviting a team of paranormal investigators to town to check out some of those claims and try figure out why there’s been an increase in paranormal claims in recent years.

That investigative team includes Nick Groff

(who also appears on Destination America’s Paranormal Lockdown and used to be on Ghost Adventures), Bill Hartley, and Elizabeth Saint.

While watching a preview episode, I realized something: I didn’t react much to scenes where they peeked into dark corners using EMF meters and infrared cameras, but I really enjoyed the parts where regional history was discussed – having a local historian talk about the people and situations of centuries past really reminds viewers about the important contributions of those who came before. That was definitely more interesting than watching a “psychic medium” trying way too hard to sell me on her abilities.

(I’d watch Monica the Medium over that woman anytime.)

Something that really fascinates me about Ghosts of Shepherdstown is that these aren’t one-and-done ghost hunting episodes. Because the whole series is set in this one small town, we’ll have some context for the stories we hear.

Whether you believe the claims or think the investigations were faked doesn’t even matter when you’re being immersed in a town’s rich and historic backstory.

Programming Note

Ghosts of Shepherdstown premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. on Destination America.

Rauner failing on his ‘mandate’

Capitol Fax

N

ear the top of any list of Illinois government’s many problems is that House Speaker Michael Madigan has made a decades-long game out of messing with the minds and the agendas of our governors.

If there’s one constant since 1983, it’s Speaker Madigan’s jiu-jitsu moves against whoever happens to be governor. Sometimes he was wholly justified (particularly in the waning months of Rod Blagojevich’s administration), but he often appears to do this simply because he can. Just ask Pat Quinn. That guy never did figure out why Madigan messed with him on a constant basis.

Understandably, all that can get on one’s nerves. Governors can start seeing nefarious plots where none actually exist—like when Gov. Bruce Rauner recently shut down a leaders meeting after Senate President John Cullerton spit-balled an idea about a stopgap budget to get the state past the election. Rauner thought at the time that it was somehow a plot by Madigan to scuttle the nonbudget negotiations, even though Madigan said during the meeting that he didn’t support his fellow Democrat’s idea.

closing two downstate nuclear power plants because it couldn’t get its bailout legislation passed.

Passing Exelon’s bill wouldn’t have been a “tough” vote—it would’ve been a stupid vote.

The bill simply isn’t soup yet. Yes, negotiators got closer than they ever did in the spring session’s final days. But the interests that weren’t at the negotiating table have yet to have their say.

The only way a massive corporate subsidy for an otherwise fabulously profitable company can be passed is if all four legislative leaders and the governor are pulling in the same direction. And that can’t happen until all stakeholders have their say.

Without that progress, voting to hike electricity rates on just about everybody to save some jobs is both legislative and political stupidity.

And to grant the company over $2 billion in subsidies that cannot be clawed back if the plants become profitable is, frankly, ridiculous.

Not to mention that one of those districts with a nuke plant targeted for closure is represented

by Republican Rep. Bill Mitchell. I happen to admire the guy for his survival skills, but he has made a career out of railing against welfare and demanding that Chicago secede from the state.

To bail out his district while the governor pub-

licly fumes on an almost daily basis about not wanting to help Chicago’s fiscally bereft public school system is unrealistic in the extreme.

And despite saying that he has “focused” on this problem for “quite a while,” and was “in there fighting hard,” Rauner never once mentioned Exelon’s legislation at the leaders meetings. His staff also reportedly waved off an inquiry by House Democratic staff about where the governor stood.

As the Quad City Times noted in an editorial, Rauner never made any sort of firm public commitment to the proposal except to have his staff say the matter was “under review.”

This Exelon finger-pointing put the governor’s gamesmanship on display. He’s never to blame.

He’s just a helpless victim of the Democrats.

If the governor has any mandate at all from the voters it’s to “Shake up Springfield,” like he endlessly promised during the campaign.

It was, by far, the defining issue for candidate Rauner. And nobody personifies Springfield in voters’ minds more than Speaker Madigan.

To constantly portray himself as powerless to stop Madigan’s sorcery is essentially an admission of failure.

One day, people are gonna catch on to this.

Privitization gone wild

By Nancy Churchill Contributor

T

I do give Rauner some credit, however. The guy has some jiu-jitsu moves of his own. The governor eventually flip-flopped and decided to demand passage of a stopgap appropriations bill at almost literally the spring session’s eleventh hour, completely reversing course from just a few days earlier when he rejected the same idea from Cullerton.

Madigan had told Rauner and the other leaders that he’d only support a stopgap proposal for this fiscal year, not next. So, Rauner can now once again blame Madigan, with justification this time, if a stopgap isn’t approved and the government completely falls apart.

But the governor’s default position that Madigan and the Democrats are to blame for almost everything wrong under the sun also recently got him in a bit of trouble. Rauner embarked on a mostly downstate PR tour designed to loudly blame the Democrats for their inability to yet again close a deal on the budget and his economic reforms.

During that tour, Rauner accused Democrats of shying away from “tough votes” on things like Exelon’s corporate bailout, according to the Quad City Times. Exelon had just announced that it was

oday my inbox had two appeals, this from SumOfUs.org: “The National Parks Service is preparing to open the door to unprecedented corporate sponsorship of parkland, monuments, and conservation areas.”

“Shocking?” the email continues, “Get used to it. It will be the new reality if a new quietly delivered National Parks Director’s Order is allowed to stand....”

“Auditoriums named after Coca-cola and Budweiser. Tour buses wrapped in Starbucks logos. And if this initiative is allowed to go through, it might not be long before ‘Wal-Mart’s Yosemite’ or ‘Monsanto’s Everglades’ become part of our national fabric.”

“Parks director Jonathan Jarvis is massively

expanding the rules for what used to be called philanthropy.... [But the] order does more than simply allow corporate sponsorship – it aggressively pursues it, making fundraising a major duty of civil servants and even making securing new sponsorship contracts essential to the career advancement of superintendents and other parks managers!”

This outrage was followed closely by an email from the League of Conservation Voters: “[T]he House just passed a Defense Authorization bill that guts protections for public lands and is now moving forward with a spending package loaded up with anti-environment provisions.

“EPA funding: Slashed; Clean air and water protections: Blocked; Endangered wildlife protections: Gutted; America’s top parks program: Crippled.

“We’re suddenly facing attacks from every angle – and resources are very tight.”

Nah, really? Congress wouldn’t consider drastically defunding the EPA and the Park Service (blaming it on a serious budget crisis spawned by massive revenue shortfalls thanks to huge tax cuts for giant corporations), forcing the Park Service to raise private funds from these same corporate giants to market them to the public, just to keep its doors open, now, would it?

It appears our government is being reduced to nothing more than a colossal marketing agency for companies that already pay little or no taxes.

Whether an outright conspiracy or just a consensus, so goes the corporate takeover – the privatization – of our country, one huge chunk at a time!

It’s the recipe articulated in the June issue of The Nation, by David Bromwich: “The 2011

sequestration deal – an extortionate bargain signed to avoid the embarrassment of a debt default – shrank the federal budget across the board for the indefinite future. This was the largest of the Tea Party’s victories, and it followed the recipe laid down by Grover Norquist: Starve the government of funds, make it perform so badly that people resent it more than ever, and use the growing popular contempt for government to enact further cuts.”

That recipe – the corporate takeover of our country – is working all too well. It’s flying under the public-awareness radar with entertainment-TV type distractions that pass as news, such as all Trump all the time.

We the People will only take our country back if we elect progressive representatives who will fight for us in Springfield and Washington.

What RFK understood about the economy that Donald Trump still doesn’t

By Joe Romm ThinkProgress.org

D

onald Trump is running on the erroneous belief that ending regulations, particularly environmental ones, is the key to faster economic growth. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-NY, who was assassinated June 6, 1968, explained just how misguided that view was just weeks before he was killed.

U.S. economic growth has emerged as a major issue in the presidential campaign.

Donald Trump has many untenable ideas, as the Washington Post explained in an April piece headlined, “There is math, there is fantasy math, and then there’s Donald Trump’s economic math.”

That article quoted an economist at the Tax Foundation (who helped model Trump’s tax plan) saying, “It’s not consistent with historical experience. It’s more consistent with a world where we’re hiring butlers for our vacation homes on Ganymede” [Jupiter’s largest moon].”

I wanted to zero in on one of Donald Trump’s fictional strategies for boosting economic growth: As he explained last month to CNBC, “we’re going to be getting rid of a tremendous amount of regulations.”

In particular, when Fox News’ Chris Wallace pressed Trump in March on how he’d cut the federal budget, Trump answered “Department of Environmental Protection [sic]. We are going to get rid of it in almost every form.”

In reality, slashing regulations, particularly regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency, would be very counterproductive, as a 2015 Office of Management

Letter to the Editor Embrace a holistic approach to lawn care

Property owners who like an even machine cut for their lawn will not experience the Zen of using a hand grass shears to cut grass one clip at a time nor will they be able to maintain their edge in the competition for the perfect lawn with their neighbors. Originally grass around the house was cut to take away habitat for mosquitoes and to take away the fire hazard of tall and

and Budget (OMB) report to Congress made clear. The OMB found that ten years’ worth of major Federal regulations provided annual benefits to the nation (in 2001 dollars) of between $216 billion and $812 billion, while the estimated annual costs were only between $57 billion and $85 billion.

Of that, EPA regulations delivered the majority of benefits ($132.5 to $652 billion) but only about half the costs ($31 to $37.5 billion).

Of course, lots of those benefits were things like reduced health care costs because the air got cleaner — and those benefits don’t show up in our primary measure of economic growth, GDP. Indeed, reducing sickness and death actually lowers GDP. Who can doubt that our wildly unsustainable global economic system is now the

biggest of Ponzi schemes — where the economy appears to grow faster the more we burn fossil fuels and destroy a livable climate?

Thankfully, Robert F. Kennedy explained why GDP is a useless measure of economic well-being back in the 1960s.

Kennedy was one of the few national politicians ever to challenge our monomaniacal pursuit of GDP to the exclusion of true economic well-being. In Detroit on May 5, 1967 he pointed out: “Let us be clear at the outset that we will find neither national purpose nor personal satisfaction in a mere continuation of economic progress, in an endless amassing of worldly goods.”

Weeks before he was killed, he spoke on this subject at the University of Kansas, March 18, 1968 – in what President Obama

dry grass. Hand tools called a weed whip and a dandelion spade manufactured by Seymour and available at Farm and Fleet stores eliminate the need for lawn mowers. The time spent is about the same. You won’t need time to recover from the shaking or the noise of the lawnmower.

Go organic in your lawn care. Let weeds grow that will flower. The bees will like it. Identify goldenrod which produce its gold colored flowers a month before frost. Learn the broad leaf and narrow leaf plantains plants which make an adequate tea. Dandelion leaves are good if eaten

before they flower. After flowering, dandelion leaves make a bitter tea. Some might say that bitter is healthy. Learn catnip which flowers in midsummer and chicory whose root is said to be a coffee substitute after flowering. Burdock root is said to be edible but I have found that not to be true. Yellow dock and sow thistle aren’t so good either. Learn alfalfa and wild carrot also called Queen Ann’s Lace.

The most important reason for an organic lawn is 11 percent of agricultural chemicals are used on lawns. Some of the chemicals are labeled

called “one of the most beautiful of his speeches.”

Here are the key lines: Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross National Product, now, is over $800 billion dollars a year, but that Gross National Product — if we judge the United States of America by that — that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.

It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl.

It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman’s rifle and Speck’s knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.

Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials.

It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.

And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.

When you take this view of economic well-being, a President Trump could well bring this country greatest depression we have ever known. not for crop use. Someone downstream in the aquifer will drink what you put on your lawn.

A book titled “The Sex Life of Plants” says that organic potato crop land teems with life and stores carbon from the atmosphere while land that is farmed using chemicals does not absorb carbon. How serious are we about taking carbon from the atmosphere or preventing breast cancer caused by glypocates?

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A long-standing issue with a family member is about to come to a close. This will have a positive outcome although it may not appear to during the midst of the conflict. It’s time that you set a boundary with an outsider that has way too many opinions regarding your personal life.

New friendships will form as a result of a social or physical activity, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — An annoying neighbor or so called friend could begin to get on your last nerve this week. It may be time to set a firmer boundary with this individual. They just don’t seem to get the hint on their own. Don’t allow this person to get the best of you. They are not the brightest bulb in the box, and are not aware of their own ignorance. The weekend allows time for a getaway. Take advantage of this aspect, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — This will prove to be one of the most productive weeks that you have experienced in a long time. Friends, family and sporting activities have you showing yourself in the best possible light. Make sure you have allowed time for an intimate gathering with food and great conversation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A chance meeting at a restaurant, grocery store parking lot, or music venue will find you in the right place at the right time. Someone who has been checking you out will approach you with some nervous small talk. Try your best to allow them to feel comfortable. You will be amazed at how much you have in common. This energy may also affect your career sector in some way, shape or form. Synchronicity is key here at this time.

Go for it, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You can sense that a friend or family member is not quite up to par at this time. Gently encourage them to explain what exactly is going on that this time. Keep your mouth closed and listen intently. You will have the perfect solution once you have gathered all of the facts. You will be at the right place at the right time by week’s end, Capricorn. Enjoy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — The month of June promises to be a memorable one, with exciting twists and turns on all levels.

Finances improve and you will find a surprise lump sum of cash about to hit your bank account shortly. It’s time to decide what you will do with your unexpected gains. Investing in a sports related or artistic activity would soothe your soul, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Pay close attention to correspondence from afar at this time. You may be missing something in the mix as a result of it. You’re overwhelmed and you’ve been having trouble keeping all of your records straight. An oversight should be addressed immediately. Pay close attention to your watch, you do not need any difficult conflicts with time, money or energy now, Pisces.

Legacy Academy of Excellence Charter School An International Baccalaureate MYP World School “Working Hard at Work Worth Doing” in Pursuit of Excellence (Dr. J. Forte) Barbara Forte, Ph.D. – Executive Director

Legacy Academy of Excellence Charter School’s Board of Directors and the Executive Director, Dr. Barbara Forte are pleased to announce:

Legacy Academy of Excellence received the highly acclaimed recognition from the International Baccalaureate World Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, as an authorized International Baccalaureate MYP World School. Legacy is the “First and Only,” International Baccalaureate MYP World School in Rockford, as well as in Northern Illinois.

The International Baccalaureate Program is consistent with the vision of Legacy Academy of Excellence and embodies all of the tenets of its mission. Legacy envisions a comprehensive program that develops the whole child and embarks on a mission of academic success that instills a lifelong passion for learning. The curriculum is inclusive, rigorous, global-minded and accountable.

Andrew Macdonald, Chief Schools Officer of the International Baccalaureate World Organization, commends Legacy, as follows: “Congratulations on your considerable accomplishment. As an IB World School, you are part of a global community of schools committed to developing knowledgeable, caring young people who will be ready to negotiate their futures successfully and make contributions resulting in a more harmonious and peaceful world. We commend your school’s educators, administrators, students and families for their active roles in choosing to offer the MYP. The positive results of this choice will become evident in your community as classes of MYP students graduate and undertake activities that enhance social, cultural and economic environments locally, nationally and, perhaps, internationally. The IB is committed to the professional development of teachers and looks forward to welcoming your school’s MYP faculty members into the IB community of educators, where they will find collaborators and a dynamic global network of professionals committed to best practices in teaching students and in sharing those practices with each other. We invite you and your faculty to make your own contributions as an active member of this community. Best wishes as you embark on your journey with the MYP. We look forward to working closely with you to realize our shared vision of a better and more peaceful world, achieved through intercultural understanding and respect.” (November 23, 2015) The International Baccalaureate Program (IB) has a proven record of success throughout the United States and the global community.

“Think global, act local,” is a way of life for the IB student. Rigor and academic success are integral components of the IB program, however it is not exam driven, believing: results are key, but the best results occur when students are allowed to help develop their learning and to thoroughly engage themselves, in the curriculum. Therefore, the IB curriculum allows for autonomy and flexibility to meet the individual needs of all students. Legacy’s students will utilize the strengths of the Learner Profile to enhance their Character Virtues and to become actively engaged in the learning process as strong decision-makers. The Learner Profile of the IB program sets the focus on students as Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-Minder, Caring, Risk-taker, Balanced and Reflective. The International Baccalaureate MYP’s Integrated Curriculum embraces Common Core Standards within its emphasis on: Arts – Design - Individuals and Societies - Language Acquisition - Language and Literature – Mathematics - Physical and Health Education – Sciences - Action and Service - Approaches to Learning - Community and Personal Projects. Legacy Academy also provides advanced curricular opportunities for 11th and 12th grade students: Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment Partnership with Rock Valley College.

Legacy Academy of Excellence Charter School an International Baccalaureate MYP World School is now accepting applications for the 2016/2017 school year for grades K – 12. All inquires should be made to 815-961-1100 or emailed to info@legacy-academy.com.

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

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city.

“The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifcats.

“The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.”

If you’re a local historian and would like to add to any part of the story, feel free to email us your insights and input: contact@ rockrivertimes.com.

This week, we explore the city’s first steamboat ferry, which opened travel to the area before the railways reached Rockford.

Voices from the Grave

Remembering Belvidere WWII casualty, Jack Magee

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

J

ack Magee was born in Rockford on August 6, 1916. He was one of six children born to Harry and Ethel Magee. They lived on Chicago Avenue before relocating to Belvidere around 1929.

Jack married Lucia Burton in 1937. They had a son that they named Charles after her father. Jack got a job driving a truck for the Harry Perkins Transfer Company.

In August of 1941, Jack left his family to join the Coast Guard. Jack was assigned to the 102nd Coastal Artillery Battalion from California. The battalion left San Francisco on the ship, Mastonian. It was a former luxury liner converted into a troop transport ship.

Jack was assigned to fly on the Short Empire Flying Boat named Corithian. They flew into Groote Eylant in Australia on March 20, 1942 to be a part of the first mission for World War II. It was a massive undertaking. Every available airplane was being piloted by American, Dutch and English pilots. They were gathering at Port Darwin to begin their assault.

Jack’s plane left for Port Darwin, and around 1 a.m. they began their descent. There were several theories about what happened next. One stated that their flying boat hit debris during the landing

and sank two nautical miles from Darwin.

There were several men on board the aircraft including Capt. Tapp. He re-entered the hull after the crash in an attempt to save his men. Despite the other men’s efforts, Jack and another man, Sgt. Edward J. Endres, died in the crash. Their bodies were never recovered.

The crash happened in water that at low tide was about 30 feet deep. The tail of the plane actually stuck out from the water. The plane was embedded so deeply into the silt and mud that the decision was made to scuttle the ship instead of salvaging it. This was done quickly to clear the waterway for the shipping and other flying boats.

Jack Magee was the first casualty in Belvidere from World War II. Though his body could not be returned to his family, they were able to place a marker in the family plot at Cedar Bluff Cemetery.

On Memorial Day of 1942, The Thomas G. Lawler Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars joined Jack’s family in honoring him as well as several others buried in Cedar Bluff.

The other men honored that day were Roger Atkinson, a RAF pilot who died over England; Albert K. Herron, a soldier killed in the Philippines; and Lt. Mike Tony Tangora, an Army flier who was killed in a west coast airplane crash.

Though Jack’s body lay in a watery grave many miles from his family, maybe it brought the family

comfort to know that his name would be listed next to the rest of his family.

Jack’s wife and son lived for a time in New Milford before moving to Floresville, Texas. Lucia died in 1995 and was buried there in Floresville Cemetery. Charles Owen died in 1998 and was buried next to his mother.

Jack’s stone tell of his military title and states, “Lost at Sea”.

The remains of the wrecked plane once known as Corithian were allegedly found by a Darwin high school teacher, Sasha Muller, and her students in 2004.

• The Rockford Historical Society will host a Cemetery Tour in Cedar Bluff Cemetery on June 18 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. There is no charge for this event but donations will be accepted.

Local Historian, Kathi Kresol from Haunted Rockford will be joining the Rockford Historical Cemetery Tour during the day and then will be back to host an evening event. The Cedar Bluff Cemetery

by Lamplight Tour will begin at 7 p.m. Kathi will be joined by local historian, author and teacher, Amanda Becker. The price for this event is $20. For tickets or more information on these events, please visit the website at hauntedrockford.com.

Backyard weed management

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

To find a weed-free garden is a rare feat in any area. Weeds are defined as an unwanted plant.

They have the ability to germinate quickly, have many seeds, tolerate bad environments, and compete with your plants.

Your main goal for backyard weed management is to keep a weed’s seeds from entering into the soil. If the weed goes to seed and these seeds enter the soil, it’s going to be very hard to control any weeds for the next years to come.

Another important aspect of weed management is knowing your enemy. Weeds are classified as annual or perennial then broadleaf or grass.

These characteristics are important as they will help you decide how to manage them.

You also want to identify the weeds early on as this will give you a better idea of management strategies. In assisting in weed identification, the University of Illinois Extension offers the Master Gardener hotline where samples can be brought in to determine your weed and effective strategies for control. Hours and days of the week vary so

visit the website of the county you live in. There are also Extension online guides that can assist with identification.

Weed management strategies depend on keeping the weed plant/seed from getting what it needs: sunlight, water, and soil nutrients. If you can eliminate one of these, it will assist you in managing your weed populations. For instance, laying mulch around your main plant will block out sunlight from weed plants.

Target your watering at the base of your plant.

Sometimes simply removing weeds by hand is a fine approach. While these strategies might work, keep in mind that the weeds in your garden are fighters and will do what they have to do to compete with your plants. Certain vining weeds can move under mulch layers to find the sunlight that they need.

Chemical control is another option and you want to match up the type of weed you have with the herbicide you plan to use while also taking into account if it can be used in your garden with your vegetables already planted.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

Of the two Dearly Departed Sisters, Aunt Millie grew into the garden queen.

The houses I remember her family living in were on Glenwood off of Ridge Street here in Rockford; some subdivision home near a quarry in Racine, Wisc.; and a farmette near Ellsworth. The gardens became larger with each move.

When Cousin Bill and I weren’t throwing rocks, jumping off cliffs into quarries (he had

more guts than I did for that) or smashing around a farm-field, figure-eight racetrack in his old International pickup truck, we were enlisted into picking radishes, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers or beans.

Unlike Henry David Thoreau, I was not “determined to know beans,” but Aunt Millie was determined her two boys would pick beans and anything else she required out of her many gardens. So here’s to you getting to “know beans” – green ones, in a dill pickled way – courtesy of the Dearly Departed Sisters.

Ma Schier and Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

Pickled Dilled Green Beans

2 1/2 lbs. green beans

boiling water 1 bunch fresh dill, stems trimmed 2 1/2 C white vinegar 2 1/2 C water 1/4 C coarse salt 4 garlic cloves 1 t ground red pepper Prep: Prepare jars. Cut beans into length to fit jars. Blanch 3 minutes. Drain, pack tightly into jars – hot and sterilized. Divide dill among jars.

Bring rest of recipe to a boil in medium sauce pan. Pour into jars to within a half inch of the top. Seal and hot water bath for 10 minutes. Store in cool dark place. Refrigerate after opening.

Bears Offseason Report

Talent vs. loyalty: the Alshon Jeffery saga

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

I

t’s no secret the Ryan Pace led Bears have been molding a franchise with discipline, organization, and all of the cliché frustrating assessments you will hear from a general national NFL analyst.

However, there’s a reason you hear these overused soapbox rants.

They have a measure of merit in how successful a team can eventually be and whether that summit is ever topped. A championship winner doesn’t make mistakes and sticks together. The team left standing in February has a complete semblance of unity and talent, a dangerous but entertaining mix.

It’s what you’ve seen when the Patriots have been at their best or in other sports, when everyone’s new favorite team to hate, the Golden State Warriors, are running on all cylinders.

It’s basically the perfect example of your general high school football movie climactic speech put into motion. Pick one, any one. The players believe in each other, they have the talent to overcome, and they have the confidence. This might be what people mean by momentum in football even if it feels like a sham from the outside.

For all of the feel-good instilled in the Bears recently with guys “buying in” (again, it’s probably just best to not fully go along with these clichés as a fan for the sake of mental sanity), there’s been a situation that looms over one of Chicago’s best and

most important players.

This is, of course, calling into question the uber-talented 26-year-old star receiver, Alshon Jeffery.

In early June with no consequential football activity, it feels odd to bring up a player like Jeffery who if you look at everything on paper, (3,728 yards and 24 touchdowns in four incomplete seasons speaks for itself) should have fans ecstatic over what he brings to the field. Yet as in always in professional sports, and really in any craft at any level, there comes the issue of compensation for service.

Jeffery to this point still hasn’t attended anyone of the Bears continually growing kumbaya mini-camp OTA’s where the brotherhood is being facilitated.

This situation pertains to the wideout only being signed to a franchise tender, not a long-term deal.

Jeffery and his camp are doing their own form of rightful protest (it all depends on the perspective you take) by training hard for the upcoming season but sending passive aggressive messages by having that training not involve any teammates with no attendance at Halas Hall.

It’s a simple scheme any James Bond villain would love that many other stars have executed to a tee before. We can’t be sure if Jeffery follows a similar script when the time comes.

This isn’t an easy to bridge to cross for Pace and head coach John Fox. According to the Chica-

MLB

Cubs continue to set pace as Sox drift further away

By Cat Garcia Contributor

T

hings are still looking quite rosy on the North side of Chicago, as the Cubs began a nine-game road trip in Philly Monday night after coming off an shining 8-2 homestand at Wrigley Field.

The starting pitching staff for the Cubs has been exceptional thus far, posting the lowest ERA in the National League at just 2.60. They may not have the best batting average or slugging percentage as a staff, though they are among the top 10 in the NL, but they continue to hold onto a steady OBP and walk rate, good for the second in the league and first in the league, respectively.

Having suffered a slight bump in the road offensively, first-baseman Anthony Rizzo found his groove over the last homestand at Wrigley

Field. Over the last week, Rizzo has posted a slash line of .450/.542/.800. Rizzo’s hot streak was unrelenting to begin the Cubs road trip, as he went 3-5 with 2 RBIs against the Phillies on Monday night.

The Cubs did have another slight injury scare Monday at Citizen’s Bank Park when outfielder Jorge Soler exited the game in the third inning due to a left hamstring injury. The Cubs recalled outfield prospect Albert Almora Jr. from Triple-A Iowa Tuesday after Soler hit the DL. Almora has posted an impressive .318/.335/.444 line through his 55 games at Triple-A Iowa this season. Almora currently only holds a walk rate of 3.7 percent in Triple-A, giving rise to the conversation about his plate discipline. However, Almora has only posted a 12.7 percent strikeout rate which is not extremely poor considering how

go Tribune, contract discussions by Pace have been “cordial and “productive”. It doesn’t take an advanced translator to recognize that means discussions haven’t really progressed whatsoever if Jeffery is still yet to appear in Lake Forest.

You can really tell things have gone haywire when you note that Jeffery made the trek up to Wrigley last week for the first pitch of a Cubs game but then promptly went back down to Florida to train in his program without even visiting team facilities. With the Tribune further reporting that it’s unlikely Jeffery gets a long-term deal before the July 15 deadline by the league for such contracts, you see the difficulty in wrapping the tension together.

Think of it like a Bears awkward family Thanksgiving dinner but there’s no one to say grace.

If we take a look at both sides of the standoff, there will be an opportunity for understanding.

From the Bears’ point of view, Jeffery missed half of the 2015 season and missed a lot of his rookie 2013 campaign due to injury. A rational person may look at the injuries as bumps in the road but a major sports enterprise sees a risky investment like any stockbroker.

Jeffery is without a doubt a top-tier number one receiver but that’s purely when he’s ready and able to play, at least in the team’s eyes. If he wants to be paid approximately $15 million (his franchise tender is $14.6) like other franchise wideouts, he has to prove he can stay on the field even if he’s proven he can consistently produce.

Evidently enough, the Bears either believe the injuries Jeffery has sustained have become a pattern where he isn’t taking care of himself or where he lets simple nagging injuries hold him out that others would play through.

There’s severed trust in the shadows here.

It’s the right of way in a league that purely sees players in a “What have you done for me lately?” spotlight.

Yet in Jeffery’s mind, he also has plenty of leverage.

All of these playoff aspirations and bids for contention have the air popped out if Jeffery isn’t a viable contributor either due to injury or his contract situation. Yes, recent teams have won the Super Bowl without superstar talent on the outside, but that’s not how this roster is being constructed for Jay Cutler and his offense.

A Chicago offense without Jeffery even if rookie Kevin White lives up to the hype in the coming years, is demonstratively worse. It’s likely the Bears know that same harsh truth which is why they can only send subtle messages through press conferences as any head coach or front office member has done with their players before so as to not alienate the 26-year-old.

And then there’s the ultimate win-lose scenario where Jeffery goes out and dominates in the fall playing all 16 games, helps the Bears into the playoffs, but earns himself greater contract offers from other teams, potentially rivals, and potentially pricing himself out of a relative perfect situation on the lakefront. While the Bears have a lot of cap space (approximately $26 million at the moment), they would be wise to avoid letting things escalate to that point, because you can never go wrong in having more roster flexibility.

It’s called “betting on yourself” and it worked out well for a previous young Chicago star athlete (see: Saad, Brandon).

One thing’s for certain: a future breakup wouldn’t be pretty, as these two are better together than apart. This relationship has a lot of tested patience.

low his walk rate is.

The Cubs will continue their series against the Phillies before heading down to Atlanta to take on the Braves for a three-game set at Turner Field this weekend.

On the South side of town, the White Sox are currently coming off a road trip in which they were swept by the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park this weekend. White Sox starters Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, and Carlos Rodon all made starts during the series, leaving White Sox fans a bit unsettled as the state of the starting rotation on the South side has been in question as of late.

But the cry for help was not in vain, as White Sox GM Rick Hahn closed a deal with the San Diego Padres on Saturday afternoon that sent starting pitcher Erik Johnson and White Sox infield prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. to San Diego in return for veteran starter James Shields.

Shields looks to be the strong presence that will bolster the shaky back end of this White Sox rotation. The 34-year-old currently has a 4.28 ERA in 11 starts in San Diego. The major concern with Shields is his tendency to give up home runs while moving to a hitter friendly ballpark. Shields is currently posting a HR/FB rate of nearly 15 percent – the second-highest total of his career

(last year his total was 17 percent).

However, Shields has also been keeping the ball on the ground at a 48 percent clip this season, making him a heavy ground ball pitcher. He has a strikeout rate of nearly 20 percent, which is inline with his career average, and a walk rate of just under 10 percent this season, which is around the total he posted last season though it is up from his career norms. Shields is set to make his White Sox debut on Wednesday night against Max Scherzer and the Nationals.

The White Sox are currently third place in the AL Central, hovering just around the .500 mark, and beginning a homestand that will have them facing the Washington Nationals for three games before taking on the Kansas City Royals this weekend.

The Royals stand in second place in the division after a brutal four-game sweep this weekend by the Indians at Progressive Field. Chris Sale will make the start on Friday night to begin the series against the Royals at U.S. Cellular Field.

Muhammad Ali | 1942-2016

Writing the rule book for athlete as activist

By David Rowe The Conversation

T

he descriptor “icon” is vastly overused in these celebrity-fixated times, but it could have been invented for Muhammad Ali, who has died aged 74. Thirty-five years after he threw his last punch in the ring, Ali is still front of mind in any discussion of the most-important sportsman ever.

He does not occupy this status because he is widely regarded as the best boxer there has ever been, who narcissistically called himself “The Greatest”, and then forced a reluctant boxing world to agree. Ali was much bigger than boxing. He came, from the late 1960s onwards, to symbolize resistance to racism, militarism and inequality.

He embodied the intimate relationship between sport and politics that so troubles those, like nationalistic politicians, who deny its existence while ruthlessly exploiting it.

So how did Ali so consistently receive the kind of acclaim heaped on him by human rights activist and sports scholar Richard E. Lapchick, who describes Ali as “not a one-in-a million figure, but a once-in-a-lifetime person”?

Ali was a superlative boxer, but it was his great physical beauty and quick wit that made a major impression on those who knew little of boxing or were repelled by its brutality.

Under his birth name, Cassius Clay, he forced himself into public consciousness by theatrically talking up his “prettiness”, athletic brilliance and verbal facility.

From early in his career he self-consciously played the role of anti-hero with a racial twist. Knowing the white-dominated boxing establishment and fan base were always searching, especially in the prestigious heavyweight division, for a “great white hope” to put African-American champions in their place, Ali goaded them to find him another fighter to beat.

Decades before sports people used social media to communicate directly with the world and polish their image, Ali bent the media of the day to his will through outrageous publicity stunts,

quirky poems and memorable catchphrases. Another white-dominated institution, the mainstream media, had to deal with an unprecedented, freewheeling assault on its familiar control routines by a black athlete who refused to be deferent and grateful.

This boxing-related pantomime was entertaining. But it was when the brand new world heavyweight champion rejected his “slave name” in 1964, became Muhammad Ali and declared his allegiance to the black separatist Nation of Islam that he

became a major political presence in popular culture.

His subsequent refusal – on religious and ethical grounds – to be conscripted to the US armed forces and to fight in the Vietnam War turned him into both a figure of hate and a symbol of hope in a bitterly divided America.

The world beyond boxing and America now had even more reason to pay close attention to Muhammad Ali. Once more, Ali was ahead of the game. Anticipating the deep political divisions over the two Gulf Wars and their disastrous outcomes, here was a vibrant celebrity around whom dissenters could rally.

Banned from boxing for three years because of his political stance, Ali acquired the status of a martyr to his convictions. He stood conspicuous among fellow sport stars who kept their heads down on matters of politics – whatever their private views.

In retrospect, it is remarkable that he was not assassinated like the Kennedys, Martin Luther King Jr, and Malcolm X. When he returned to the ring, Ali became the focus of spectacular media-sport events like “The Rumble in the Jungle” and “The Thrilla in Manila”. These boxing matches helped write the rule book of 21st-century “sportainment”.

Ali’s boxing career petered out, yet he remained an instantly recognizable global celebrity. But by 1984 the savage toll that boxing took on his body, especially his brain, became evident.

It is believed to have exacerbated the Parkinson’s disease that progressively debilitated him.

Some of the most touching and heart-breaking moments in sport came when his shaking body performed ceremonial duties at the 1996 Atlanta and 2012 London Olympics. When Ali spoke in public, his rapid-fire repartee was reduced to a low, slow whisper.

Despite his failing health, Ali relentlessly pursued his humanistic activities.

He supported charities and foundations such as Athletes for Hope, UNICEF, and his own Muhammad Ali Center.

Ali was no saint. His cruel mocking of rival Joe Frazier, which he later regretted, saw him treat a fellow African American as a “dumb”, “ugly”, racially complicit Uncle Tom in a manner that resonated with some of the worst racist stereotypes. His complicated history of intimate relationships with women and his many offspring is of soap-opera proportions.

But, in touching and enhancing the lives of so many people across the globe, here was a man much more sinned against than sinning.

Ali’s passing comes at a time of increasing concern about sport-induced traumatic brain injury. The near-fatal outcome of a recent bout in the UK between Nick Blackwell and Chris Eubank Jr has once again put boxing in an unfavorable spotlight.

Ali paid a ferocious price for his fame. Most leading medical associations would ban the sport that brought him to prominence.

Yet, paradoxically, it is boxing that we have to thank for somehow – out of the violence and pain of its self-proclaimed “sweet science” – delivering to the world Muhammad Ali, The People’s Champion.

Muhammad Ali | 1942-2016

What made Ali

THE GREATEST the ring has ever seen?

By Allan Hahn

M

The Conversation

any factors came together to create recognition of Muhammad Ali, who has died aged 74, as “the greatest” boxer in history.

There is no doubt Ali’s determination to overcome racial inequality, his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War, his emergence as a representative of Islam and his highly engaging media persona coalesced to make him by far the most widely known boxer of all time. He came to be popularly regarded as a champion of the oppressed and a seeker of justice for the persecuted. This resonated globally.

Central to the celebrity Ali achieved, though, was his exceptional ability as a boxer.

A unique style

Various boxing authorities have ranked Ali as the best heavyweight boxer in history. He and the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson have been bracketed as the top two across all weight divisions.

Ali won a gold medal (as a light heavyweight) at the 1960 Rome Olympics as the culmination of an amateur boxing career in which he won 100 of 105 bouts.

As a professional, Ali won the world heavyweight championship on three separate occasions over 14 years. He was victorious in 56 of 61 professional bouts, with three of the losses coming late in his career when his athleticism had faded. Sports Illustrated named him as its Sportsman of the 20th Century.

What made Ali such an outstanding exponent of his sport?

It certainly wasn’t sheer strength and power.

He was never considered to be among boxing’s hardest punchers and more than one-third of his professional contests lasted their full scheduled duration. Nor was he remarkable in terms of height or weight.

Rather, Ali’s speed, agility, footwork and general athleticism were among the attributes that most distinguished him from other competitors. It was said he was a heavyweight who moved like a lightweight.

In the early years of his career, Ali also displayed outstanding aerobic endurance: he was able to relentlessly maintain his dancing, up-on-the-toes style.

‘His distinctive, unconventional boxing style was in keeping with the fierce individualism and rejection of norms that pervaded other aspects of his life and created almost universal interest in him.’

There is no doubt Ali was uniquely skilled.

But he employed techniques that, while clearly effective, were far from classical. In stark contrast to contemporary views of best practice, he often held his hands by his sides at waist level, and he sometimes avoided the punches of opponents by pulling his head backwards away from them.

Many boxing experts regarded these as high-risk behaviors made viable only by Ali’s astonishing speed, but the unorthodoxy served to confuse his adversaries and lure them into errors. He was seldom the aggressor, preferring a method that capitalized on the aggression of others.

Ali very aptly characterized his own style as “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. His distinctive, unconventional boxing style was in keeping with the fierce individualism and rejec-

tion of norms that pervaded other aspects of his life and created almost universal interest in him.

Mental strength

Ali also demonstrated major psychological strengths. He was renowned for his self-belief, which frequently extended beyond vociferous pre-contest expressions of confidence to actually nominating the very round in which he would win.

He was predisposed to composing rap-style poems designed to extol his talents and unsettle opponents, and was well-known for his intimidating stares and for subjecting opponents to verbal taunts during bouts.

Over time, Ali’s perennial competitive success seemed increasingly to justify the self-belief and enabled him to inculcate an impression

that he was almost superhuman. That was an impression that a public seeking new heroes in turbulent social and political times was very willing to accept. In addition, it appears to have been embraced by Ali himself.

The self-belief and illusion of superhuman qualities were arguably instrumental in enabling Ali to get through a number of torturous contests. These included the “Thrilla in Manila”, where he and Joe Frazier inflicted shocking damage on each other in what he later described as a near-death experience, and the “Rumble in the Jungle”.

In the Rumble in the Jungle, Ali absorbed some massively forceful punches from George Foreman as part of a contrived “rope-a-dope” strategy. This eventually brought him an unlikely victory that proved to be the crowning glory of his incredible boxing journey.

In the phase of his boxing career commencing after his three-and-a-half-year suspension from the sport due to his refusal to enter the U.S. Armed Forces, Ali became famous for an extraordinary ability to “take a punch”. This – along with the courage and commitment to purpose that it implies – has been viewed as another reason for his boxing greatness.

The taking of punches, though, very likely had a significant downside in causing neurological injury and contributing to the Parkinson’s disease that affected his life from the mid-1980s onwards and was soon greatly debilitating.

Ali not only competed during the “golden years of heavyweight boxing” but was the fundamental reason for them. He brought completely new dimensions to the sport and gave it a sort of aestheticism and a broader relevance that was without precedent.

Despite the health problems that he suffered in retirement, he reportedly continued to enjoy being Muhammad Ali. That enjoyment was well-earned. He inspired and empowered multitudes of people around the world and engendered cultural change.

Ali’s passing has evoked widespread sadness, particularly among the many admirers who somehow identified so strongly with him that they felt a quite intensively personal sharing of his triumphs and defeats, both in the ring and outside it. He leaves an enduring and highly influential legacy, that in the final analysis has been made possible by the qualities that made him genuinely “the greatest” as a boxer.

and intersected with so many lives, ordinary and extraordinary.”

Ali’s commitment deepened and the media, which had earlier warmed to his extravagance, turned against him. A rift occurred between Ali and Joe Louis, the former heavyweight champion who was once described as “a credit to his race.” This presaged several other conflicts with other black boxers whom Ali believed had allowed themselves to become assimilated into white America and had failed to face themselves as true black people.

The events that followed Ali’s call-up by the military in February 1966 were dramatised by a background of growing resistance to the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Ali’s oft-quoted remark “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong” made headlines around the world. He insisted that his conscience not cowardice guided his decision not to serve in the military and, so, to many others, he became a mighty signifier of pacifism. To others he was just another draft dodger.

At the nadir of his popularity, he fought Ernie Terrell, who, like Patterson, persisted in calling him “Clay.” The fight in Houston had a grim subtext with Ali constantly taunting Terrell. “What’s my name, Uncle Tom?” Ali asked Terrell as he administered a callous beating. Ali prolonged the torment until the 14th round. Media reaction to the fight was wholly negative. Jimmy Cannon, a boxing writer of the day wrote: “It was a bad fight, nasty with the evil of religious fanaticism. This wasn’t an athletic contest.

It was a kind of lynching … [Ali] is a vicious propagandist for a spiteful mob that works the religious underworld.”

The Conversation

n October 2, 1980, Muhammad Ali, then aged 38, and Larry Holmes, the heavyweight champion of the world, entered a temporary arena built at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. A gate of nearly 25,000 had paid $5,766,125, a record in its day.

“It wasn’t a fight; it was an execution,” wrote Ali’s biographer Thomas Hauser. After ten sickeningly one-sided rounds, Ali’s trainer Angelo Dundee signalled Ali’s retirement. Ali’s aide and confidante Bundini Brown pleaded: “One more round.” But, Dundee snapped back: “Fuck you!

No! … The ballgame’s over.”

In a way, he was right: one game had indeed finished. Ali fought only once more. His health had been deteriorating for several years before the ill-advised Holmes fight and the savaging he took repulsed even his sternest critics. Ali the “fearsome warrior,” as Hauser calls him, would disappear, replaced by a “benevolent monarch and ultimately to a benign venerated figure”.

And now that venerated figure has died, aged 74.

Muhammad Ali was also a symbol of black protest, a cipher for the anti-Vietnam movement, a martyr (or traitor, depending on one’s perspective), a self-regarding braggart, and many more things beside. While there have been several sports icons, none have approached Ali in terms of complexity, endowment and sheer potency. Jeffrey Sammons suggests: “Perhaps no single person embodied the ethic of protest

Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in the segregated south, Cassius Clay, as he was christened, was made forcibly aware of America’s “two nations,” one black, one white. After winning a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics, he returned home to be refused service at a restaurant. This kind of incident was to influence his later commitments.

Clay both infuriated and fascinated audiences with his outrageous claims to be the greatest boxer of all times, his belittling of opponents, his poetry and his habit of predicting (often accurately) the round in which his fights would end. “It’s hard to be modest when you’re as great as I am,” he remarked.

He beat Sonny Liston for the world heavyweight title in 1964 and easily dismissed him in the rematch. Between the two fights, he proclaimed his change of name to Muhammad Ali, reflecting his conversion to Islam. While he’d made public his membership of the Nation of Islam (NoI), sometimes known as the Black Muslims, prior to the first Liston fight, few understood the implications. The NoI was led by Elijah Muhammad and had among its most famous followers Malcolm X, who kept company with Ali and who was to be assassinated in 1965.

Among the NoI’s principles was a belief that whites were intent on keeping black people in a state of subjugation and that integration was not only impossible, but undesirable. Blacks and whites should live separately; preferably living in different states. The view was in stark distinction to North America’s melting pot ideal.

Ali’s refusal to serve in the armed forces resulted in a five-year legal struggle, during which time Ali was stripped of his title. During his exile, Ali had angered the NoI by announcing his wish to return to boxing if this was ever possible. Elijah, the supreme minister, denounced Ali for playing “the white man’s games of civilisation”. He meant sports.

Other evaluations of sport were gathering force.

The black power inspired protests of John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Olympics, combined with the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa had made clear that sport could be used to amplify the experiences of black people the world over. While Ali was a bête noir for many whites and indeed blacks, several civil rights leaders, sports performers and entertainers came out publicly in his defence. He was hailed as their champion.

Given the growing respect he was afforded, he was seen as an influential figure. Ali’s moves were monitored by government intelligence organizations; his conversations were wiretapped. But the mood of the times was changing: he was widely regarded as a martyr by the by-then formidable anti-war movement and practically anyone who felt affinity with civil rights.

His years of exile over, he returned to boxing.

But prospect of a smooth transition back to the title was dashed March 1971 by Joe Frazier, who had taken the title in Ali’s absence and defended it with unexpected tenacity in a contest that started one of the most virulent rivalries in sport. Ali had called Frazier a “white man’s champion” and declared: “Any black man who’s for Joe Frazier

is a traitor.” Ali lost once to Frazier and beat him twice over the following years, every fight being viciously fought.

Ali had to wait until 1974 before getting another chance at the world title. By this time, Ali, at 32, was not favoured; in fact, many feared for his well being against the hitherto unbeaten George Foreman. The fight in Zaire became immortalised as “The Rumble in the Jungle” and Ali emerged again as champion.

Later years

In June 1979, Ali announced his retirement from boxing. At 37, he appeared to have made a graceful exit when he moved to Los Angeles with his third wife Veronica whom he had married two years before. His first marriage lasted less than a year ending in 1966; Ali married again in 1967, again in 1977 and then in 1986 to his current wife Yolanda Williams.

Hauser estimates Ali’s career earnings to 1979 to be “tens of millions of dollars”. Yet, on his retirement, Ali was not wealthy.

Within 15 months of his retirement, Ali returned to the ring, his principal motivation being money.

He also made several poor business investments and, while prolonging his sports career seemed suicidal, he managed one more fight, again ending in defeat. He was 39 and had fought 61 times.

In 1984, he disappointed his supporters when he nominally supported Ronald Reagan’s re-election bid. He also endorsed George Bush in 1988. The Republican Party’s policies, particularly in regard to affirmative action programs, were widely seen as detrimental to the interests of African Americans and Ali’s actions were, for many, tantamount to a betrayal.

Ali’s public appearances gave substance to stories of his ill health. By 1987, he was the subject of much medical interest. Slurred speech and uncoordinated bodily movements gave rise to several theories about his condition, which was ultimately revealed as Parkinson’s syndrome. His public appearances became rarer and he became Hauser’s “benign venerated figure.”

Over a period of five decades, Ali excited a variety of responses: admiration and respect, but also condemnation. At different points in his life, he drew the adulation of young people committed to peace, civil rights and black power; and the anger of those pursuing social integration.

Ali engaged with the central issues that preoccupied America: race and war. But it would be remiss to understand him as a symbol of social healing; much of his mission was to expose and, perhaps, to deepen divisions. He preached peace, yet aligned himself with a movement that sanctioned racial separation and the subordination of women. He accepted a role with the liberal Democratic administration of Jimmy Carter, yet later sided with reactionaries, Reagan and Bush. He advocated black pride, yet disparaged and dehumanised fellow blacks. He taught the importance of self-determination, yet allowed himself to be sucked into so many doubtful business deals that he was forced to prolong his career to the point where his dignity was effaced. Like any towering symbol, he had very human contradictions.
