Orlando Nightclub Massacre

No, we cannot weep together Sympathy without affirmation rings hollow; it is unworthy of our gratitude.

By Zack Ford ThinkProgress.org

R

ussell Moore is the president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), the policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) — the largest Protestant domination in the United States. Following this weekend’s shooting in Orlando, Moore took to TIME Magazine to ask, “Can We Still Weep Together After Orlando?”

Noting how past tragedies have brought the country together, Moore bemoaned that “it seems now, though, that there’s rarely a time of grieving together.” He blamed social media for the pace of the conversations and the “divisions” that quickly form. “We become more concerned about protecting ourselves from one another’s political pronouncements than we do with mourning with those who mourn.”

“How then do we weep with those who weep?” he asked, before answering his own question: Let’s call our congregations to pray together. Let’s realize that, in this case, our gay and lesbian neighbors are likely quite scared. Who wouldn’t be? Demonstrate the sacrificial love of Jesus to them. We don’t have to agree on the meaning of marriage and sexuality to love one another and to see the murderous sin of terrorism. Let’s also pray for our leaders who have challenging decisions to make in the midst of crisis. Let’s mobilize our congregations and others to give blood for the victims. Let’s call for governing authorities to do their primary duty of keeping its people safe from evildoers.

Here’s a different answer to Moore’s question: on your own.

Know your audience

Moore isn’t wrong; the LGBT community is scared. But as terrified as we might be from the destruction wrought on our brothers and sisters in Orlando, we’re still just as terrified of Moore and those who follow the anti-LGBT beliefs espoused by the SBC and plenty of other Christian denominations.

I’ve met Dr. Moore before. He’s an articulate leader, and he’s welcomed me hospitably to his organization’s events. Knowing full well that this gay progressive atheist disagrees with just about everything he believes and promotes, he greets me by name, shaking my hand, and offering to make sure I feel comfortable at the event.

But the truth is, I never actually feel comfortable

at an ERLC event. How can I in a space where I am surrounded by people who doubt the legitimacy of my identity and who openly promote the notion that I should be treated as a second-class citizen?

I’ve sat in the room when Moore told a room full of SBC pastors to discourage their congregations from attending loved ones’ same-sex weddings, because all witnesses to a marriage ceremony are condoning that union — and same-sex weddings are not to be condoned.

Moore once answered a direct question from me in which he disavowed the idea that a person can change their sexual orientation, but proceeded to add, “The idea that one is simply the sum of one’s sexual identity is something that is psychologically harmful ultimately.” I then watched him gleefully interview several “former homosexuals” about how their faith saved them from the sin of their desire.

— despite traditionally being closed on Sundays.

Conversely, plenty of prominent anti-LGBT conservatives are bending over backwards to reconcile the condemnations they regularly promote with the sympathy they want to be seen expressing this week. Said Ryan T. Anderson, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a rightwing think-tank, on Twitter, “Anti-LGBT bigotry exists & is wrong. Should be condemned. But supporting man-woman marriage and male-female bathrooms aren’t examples of it.”

Matthew Frank of the Witherspoon Institute insisted, “Christians who have resisted the redefinition of marriage, and who now want to be free to live what their faith teaches them is the truth about marriage, do not hate anyone, and legislation to protect their freedom is not ‘anti-LGBT’ except in the minds of the intolerant enforcers of coerced conformity.”

Princeton University law professor Robert George similarly suggested that any attempt to blame Christian homophobia for the Orlando shooting is “outrageous and defamatory,” but forgivable given the circumstances. “It is certain-

If you want us to feel hope, do not encourage us to demonize Islam – that the only way to heal as victims is to victimize others...

And in nearly the same breath, I heard Moore explain that parents should not kick their children out of the house for being gay, but wedding vendors should be able to kick same-sex couples out of their store. “If the government can pave over religious consciences — the deepest part of what motivates people — then the government can do anything,” he said.

Moore is right, of course, that tragedies like the Orlando shooting are reasons for everybody across the planet to grieve and to try to reconcile how such evil can even exist in humanity. He is wrong, however, to assume that everybody would want to grieve together. Just like the sensational violence ISIS uses doesn’t excuse other forms of oppression, this one violent incident was not severe enough to ignore or somehow reconcile other ongoing abuses. Why should he be trusted to provide comfort to the gay community when he has a reputation for doing just the opposite?

Meet them where they are To be fair to Moore, he’s not the only one touting this approach this week. Stories about otherwise anti-LGBT people and organizations offering to help are continuing to pop up. One Southern Baptist church near the Pulse nightclub encouraged members to donate blood. A Chick-fil-A in Orlando delivered sandwiches and iced tea to a blood drive supporting victims

ly not a time for people on either, or any, side of a moral or political dispute to attempt to score points or advance an agenda,” he said.

In a way that Moore probably didn’t intend, these conservatives are proving his point. Less than a day after news of the shooting broke, they were already focused on defending themselves and their own positions. Sympathy, then, serves as their weapon to continue their role as abusers.

Put others’ needs before your own

One religious leader, however, actually demonstrated that there is another option.

Bishop Robert Lynch, who serves the Catholic diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida, didn’t try to reconcile the beliefs his Church espouses. He took responsibility: It is religion, including our own, that targets, mostly verbally, and often breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and transgender people. Attacks today on LGBT men and women often plant the seed of contempt, then hatred, which can ultimately lead to violence.

Those women and men who were mowed down Sunday were all made in the image and likeness of God. We teach that. We should believe that. We must stand for that.

Even before I knew who perpetrated the mass murders at Pulse, I knew that

somewhere in the story there would be a search for religion as motivation. While deranged people do senseless things, all of us observe and judge and act from some kind of religious background. Singling out people for victimization because of their religion, their sexual orientation, their nationality must be offensive to God’s ears. It has to stop, too.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has dedicated millions of dollars to opposing LGBT equality over the years. Bishop Lynch may be the first actively serving member of that organization to admit that these efforts may have had consequences for LGBT people.

Seek first to understand

The LGBT community will not heal quickly from the Orlando shooting, and will be scarred for quite some time thereafter. Moore concluded his piece saying, “We can remind ourselves and our neighbors that this is not the way it is supposed to be.” If people who share Moore’s beliefs reach out to their LGBT neighbors now or in the future, they should consider that what they want us to feel might not be the same as what we actually hear.

If you want us to feel love, then do not tell us our sexuality is wrong or that the only way to be right is to be celibate. What we hear is actually that we are unworthy of love.

If you want us to feel equal, then do not try to justify refusing us jobs, housing, or goods and services in the name of your religious beliefs.

What we hear is that we deserve to be treated as second-class citizens.

If you want us to feel community, then do not tell us that you cannot condone our marriages.

What we hear is that our families are not welcome to share a neighborhood with yours.

If you want us to feel dignity, then do not tell us that we cannot be transgender or try to tell us what bathrooms we can or cannot use. What we hear is that you aren’t actually interested or invested in understanding who we are or supporting our wellness.

If you want us to feel safe, then do not accuse us of politicizing this tragedy by broaching the issue of new gun violence prevention measures.

What we hear is that we should just ignore the one thing that has ever been proven to reduce gun violence and permanently accept the fear that this shooting has instilled in us.

And if you want us to feel hope, do not encourage us to demonize Islam or pass the blame onto terrorism. What we hear is that the only way to heal as victims is to victimize others — that the only way to respond to intolerance is with more intolerance.

There may come a day when we can weep together. In the meantime, sympathy without affirmation rings hollow; it is unworthy of our gratitude.

Rock River Trail

First Air Route in country – fly it!

Today

June 15

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

The Rock River Trail Initiative (RRTI) has announced the first flight trail in the nation, consisting of the nine commercial airports on the 320-mile course of the Rock River.

The Rock River Trail Air Route is the newest feature of the RRTI which founded the Rock River Trail in 2010; and in 2013, it became the 10th of the 21 rivers in National Park Service Water Trails System.

The Initiative has also passed legislation in Wisconsin and Illinois to create the Rock River Trail Scenic and Historic Route on roads adjacent to the river. Most recently, cue sheets have been completed for a continuous biking route, and hiking trails have also been delineated in the 11 counties of the Rock River. All these features and more about this 320-mile long river are listed at rockrivertrail.com The Rock River Trail Air Route is the brililant idea of Emmons Patzer, a pilot and travel enthusiast. He noted that the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in at Oshkosh, Wisconsin makes it the busiest airport in the nation once a year. He conceived of the course of the Rock River and it’s nine airports as a natural flyway for not only Oshkosh participants but also for any pilot that likes to travel and stop to recreate.

Special camping areas and water landing zones for float planes are also being discussed to be designated for certain areas on the river. Float planes regularly land on Lake Koshkonong in Wisconsin.

Patzer wrote the following for rockrivertrail.com: “Pilots and paddling, helicopters and hiking, barrel rolls and biking…all aviation enthusiasts will want to take advantage of the Rock River Trail’s latest addition – an air route.

“The Rock River Trail Air Route features nine great airports along the river as it flows 320 miles through Wisconsin and Illinois. Each of these airports represents a gateway to the communities that the river has spawned over the many years since man has occupied the area. From the early history of the Middle Mississippian outpost of Aztalan (between the Watertown and Fort Atkinson, WI airports), to the site of Wisconsin’s First Flight in 1909 (Beloit), to the control airport of the first transcontinental flight (Quad Cities, IL airport), your options and experiences can match every need.

“Enjoying the scenic beauty of the Rock River from the air is only part of the experience that the aviation route provides. From ancient Native American Indian Mounds, to replica forts, and modern sports facilities, you can enjoy it all. There are airports with hotels and airports that allow camping. You can make stops to museums of agricultural history (Deere), visit the stomping grounds that built the character of a president (Ronald Reagan) and Speaker of the House (Paul Ryan), or visit an extinct glacial lake that is the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the United States (Horicon Marsh).

“Airport services include fuel, crew cars, on field or nearby restaurants, and

locations that rent bicycles and canoes and kayaks. The Rock River Trail Air Route is one way to enjoy all 320 miles of the trail. Other trail options include: Paddling, Biking, Driving and Hiking.

“The Rock River National Trail Air Route is a cooperative commitment of cities, towns, airports, FBO’s, Parks Directors, State Natural Resource Management, and the many small businesses devoted to your enjoyment of the river and surrounding area. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.” Patzer concluded.

The website then lists the river’s airports in Juneau, Watertown, Fort Atkinson, Janesville, Beloit, Rockford, Dixon, Sterling/Rock Falls and Moline. A navigation link is provided to take a pilot to each airport’s website, accompanied by a county listing and links consisting of general information for each county and city, “Campsites, Paddle Craft Sales and Rentals, Bicycle Sales and Repairs, Outdoor Outfitters, Biking, Hiking, Water Trails and Other Routes of Interest.”

“We are excited to have the opportunity to develop a unique air route to compliment the existing recreation trails on the Rock River,” said Greg Farnham, Rock River Trail Coordinator. “This will be a special feature of the Rock River Trail that will expand our national visibility. We are also working on another new recreation activity to enhance the Rock River Trail and plan to announce those details in the near future.”

Please continue to visit rockrivertrail.com as this and other exciting new features continue to develop on the Rock River Trail.

Frank Schier is the Founder and Coordinator of the Rock River Trail.

Park Service announces recreational, water trails

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis today announced the designation of six local and state National Recreation Trails, adding more than 350 miles to the National Trails System, and three National Water Trails, adding more than 600 miles to the National Water Trails System.

“By designating these new National Trails, we recognize the efforts of local communities to provide outdoor recreational opportunities that can be enjoyed by everyone,” said Jewell. “Our world-class network of national trails provides easily accessible places to enjoy exercise and connect with nature in both urban and rural areas while also boosting tourism and supporting economic opportunities

in local communities across the country.”

On Saturday, June 4, hundreds of organized activities are planned as part of National Trails Day, including hikes, educational programs, bike rides, trail rehabilitation projects, festivals, paddle trips, and trail dedications. A list of activities is available on the American Hiking Society’s website.

“The network of national recreation and water trails offers expansive opportunities for Americans to explorethegreatoutdoors,”saidJarvis.“Withsummer here, I hope everyone will take advantage of a trail nearby to hike, paddle or bike. It’s a great family outing and an opportunity to fill your lungs with fresh air and enjoy the beauty of the world around us.”

National Recreation Trail designation recog-

nizes existing trails and trail systems that link communities to recreational opportunities on public lands and in local parks across the Nation.

Each of the newly designated trails will receive a certificate of designation, a set of trail markers and a letter of congratulations from Secretary Jewell.

While national scenic trails and national historic trails may only be designated by an act of Congress, national recreation trails (including national water trails) may be designated by the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture in response to an application from the trail’s managing agency or organization.

See Page 8 for a complete list of the new trails.

most of our transportation with electric cars, trucks and rail service. Our need for building heat can be met with highly insulated and efficient buildings. Industrial heat will prove a bigger challenge as high temperatures are essential for many practices.

As in previous Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fairs, a variety of presentations, displays and interesting people with whom to discuss energy issues will be available. As a society we know what needs to be done to secure clean energy, protect the environment and provide jobs. The challenge is to implement appropriate energy policies. While it is essential to make our needs and desires known to business and political leaders, we can implement such

practices in our own lives.

Attend the fair and meet the people who are implementing some of the needed changes.

A simple but important change is installing solar power. Edward Caceres recently moved to California where he sells PV systems to small farmers who want to become independent. Klaus Hoffman has made many changes including using solar electricity for the entire house, using evacuated solar tubes to heat water, charging his electric car at home and installing other energy saving options. Dave Merrill will share the stories of numerous north central Illinois residents who have moved to solar power.

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.

Culture Shock celebrates a decade in Rockford <<<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 9 weeks, The Rock River Times will print those ideas for you and invite those who created them to comment. Enjoy the second one in the series, and let us know what you think via email: contact@rockrivertimes.com.

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY If you would have asked Skyler Davis of Culture Shock Clothing & Records a decade ago to predict where his newly opened business would be 10 years into the future, he probably wouldn’t have been able to think that far ahead. “Originally, I just wanted a place to sell band T-shirts, stickers, and music and I was tired of driving out of town to find those things.” said Skyler.

Along with the trials and tribulations of opening a new/very niche boutique and record shop in a destination-location of Rockford as two young inexperienced business owners, came additional concerns and hardships. In 2006 and 2007 the store flooded during the legendary Labor Day floods. Skyler Davis and Lauren Vanags both worked additional part time jobs just to keep the store’s lights on, and try to lightly stock the walls and racks.

What kept them remaining positive for the future was the support of the community, and taking it one day at a time. “Some of the customers who shop here today have been shopping here since the humble beginning, when it was a very different store…” says Lauren Davis, co-owner of Culture Shock Clothing & Records “During our worst times, while we were literally sweeping debris and shoveling water out of our store assuring our guests we would get more product soon, customers promised us they’d come back… and they did, again and again for 10 years.”

Fast forward two location moves, 10 years and many loyal and new customers later, Culture Shock remains strong and positive about the future. They find strength and power in the community that has supported them for 10 years so they give back by stocking over 40 locally made products and local bands’ merchandise in their shop along with hundreds of other independent/ethical brands, new and used vinyl, and vintage audio equipment.

The store has changed drastically, celebrating many different generations of culture, arts and music through their variety of clothing, gifts, accessories and vinyl.

This Saturday, Culture Shock will celebrate 10 years as an independent locally-owned business in Rockford, and they are proud to call Charles Street Culture Shock’s home. Lauren and Skyler frequently attend their Keith Creek Neighborhood Association meetings and head the non-profit Winnebago Buy Local which encourages local businesses to work

NIU still accepting STEM camp applications

together to succeed. The store owners believe heavily in the power of collaboration, and that when they love the community, the community loves them back.

To celebrate their 10 year milestone on Saturday, Culture Shock will have a tent sale with $1-$10 specials on merchandise, 25 percent off clothing, accessories and gifts in the store, as well as buy-one-get-one-half-off vinyl records. There will be plenty of giveaways from different lines they carry throughout the day. To celebrate 10 years as a business they would like to celebrate their customers and appreciate them with sales and fun.

Skyler added, “We just want to say thank you to all of our existing customers, and show new customers that this is a place they will love.

Maybe knowing that we have been around for 10 years will encourage folks who have never been to Culture Shock to step in and check it out for the first time.”

While the store has changed drastically through the last 10 years, one thing remains constant. Skyler and Lauren consider their customers some of their best friends and can’t wait to continue serving the community for the next decade.

Stephenson Co. to rededicate war memorial

The Freeport Downtown Development Foundation announces Rededication of the Civil War Monument at the Stephenson County Courthouse, 2:30 p.m. Sunday, June 26. The special ceremony takes place 145 years after the original dedication on July 4, 1871.

The ceremony will immediately follow the Dairy Days Parade in front of the courthouse at 15 N. Galena Ave. in downtown Freeport. The festivities include a visit from Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, and Ulysses S. Grant. There will also be performances by the Lena-Winslow Band and Chorus and the First Brigade Band along with period reenactments.

Period dress is encouraged.

The event is being coordinated by Austin Bower of Lena who began raising funds for the monument in 2010, when he was 14 years old, and is responsible for the momentum it created.

Since then, Bower has visited many Civil War battlefields in the United States and participates locally in parades and events. His hard work has paid off and this is a unique opportunity to celebrate it and honor the soldiers who the monument was created for.

–Freeport Downtown Development

As summer begins, nearly 500 campers have already reserved spots at NIU’s STEM Summer Camps. This represents an unprecedented level of interest in these engaging, hands-on programs, which give participants a chance to roll up their sleeves, think creatively, and make friends while building skills for success in the growing fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

“Every year we offer more choices and more sessions, and still the demand grows,” says Pati Sievert, director of STEM Outreach.

“Anyone interested in a summer STEM experience should get online and register right away, before all the camps are full.”

A full schedule is available online. Visit niu. edu/stem/programs/camps for details.

Colwell on Beloit’s old club scene

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

T

his week Rockford Rocked Interviews catches up with former College Inn/ Sharkies owner, Rory Colwell, to talk about the Beloit club scene of yesteryear.

Rockford Rocked Interview: Beloit was a hopping place back in the ’70s and ’80s. You owned The College Inn (later Sharkies). What was it that made the scene so electric and fun?

Rory Colwell: How could you not love the bar scene in Beloit during that period of time? You could bar hop by yourself knowing whatever bar you walked into you were going to see close friends. I was just 21 when I opened Sharkies and still smile when I think back about the fun times I had. My circle of friends were all the same age.

We were all experiencing the bar scene together.

I remember life being a party and the party never seemed to end.

RRI: You bought Beloit’s iconic College Inn bar at a very young age and changed the name to Sharkies. Had you already been involved in the business before that?

RC: Yeah, prior to owning Sharkies the business was operated under the College Inn. I was bartending at the College Inn while I was still attending Hononegah High School. My father owned the Village Pub in Rockton and my uncle also owned a couple bars in the Beloit area. Growing up around a bar was just a normal part of life. I can still remember my brother and I hustling the old timers at the Village Pub playing pool. We also stocked the coolers, mopped the floors, and cleaned the bathrooms. I may have been around a bar all my life but the greatest education I received was the day I opened Sharkies.

RRI: Let’s face it, 18 was a very young age to be legally drinking anywhere. Were the bar patrons well behaved for the most part or was the Beloit Police Department a regular fixture at your club?

RC: For the most part everyone was very well behaved. You always had a few trouble makers

who tried to ruin the party for the majority. I enjoyed a good fight when I was younger so I am sure that contributed to the police presence.

Bottom line, the police had my back but also put me back in place when I was in the wrong. We both had a job to do and for the most part they left me alone.

RRI: How did the change in the drinking age law (1986 – from 19 to 21) affect the bar’s overall revenue if at all?

RC: The change in the drinking age definitely impacted revenue. You had to be creative, innovative, and think outside the box in order to fill the bar after the change to 21. I was always willing to push the envelope when it came to

bringing in business.

RRI: A lot of folks want to know what the deal was with the swimming pool dance floor. Did you ever think about filling it with Jell-O and making some real cash?

RC: The swimming pool/dance floor was awesome! Some people thought I should fill it in and that thought never crossed my mind.

The first couple of years the bar was packed. The arena setting added to the atmosphere and gave the bar its character. I still have pictures of hundreds of people packed into the bar surrounding the dance floor enjoying the show. That damn pool was filled with sand, wet T-shirts, oil, and anything else I could think of to make it a party.

Jell-O was probably the one mess I was not prepared to clean up. (laughs) RRI: Beloit and Janesville were absolutely hopping during this time and there were a lot of clubs within walking distance from each other. Did you feel like there was a bit of competition between Sharkies and the other clubs in town?

RC: Yes, there was always competition between bars. We were all competing for the ever-shrinking customer base. When the drinking age was 18 it was a no-brainer attracting customers. When the age increased to 21 you were fighting for every customer you could get through the door. We may have been competing for business but I have a great deal of respect for the other owners back in the day. It’s not easy owning/operating any business.

RRI: What was the craziest thing that you can remember happening at Sharkies during your time there?

RC: We did so many crazy things at Sharkies it’s hard to remember which one was the craziest. I would have to say the “Sharkies Stripper Bus Trips” rank at the top of the list. I would charter two buses under the pretense of taking our patrons to bachelor/bachelorette parties.

I would fill one bus with 40 women and one bus with 40 men. I would park the buses at the Rockford Clock Tower telling them our church group needed a place to stop/park before traveling to our final destination. Both buses were treated to strippers of the opposite sex. Both were completely nude shows. They were jammed packed with alcohol and people ready to party. The party would end up back at Sharkies and end after hours. I’m giving you the PG version but I think I’m still banned from chartering a bus from the Rockton Bus Company. (laughs) RC: Let me end by saying, to this day opening Sharkies was one of the best things I ever did in my life. I still have great friends from those days, great memories, and I wouldn’t change a thing!

AE concludes the season with Women Who Steal

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

A

rtists’ Ensemble Theater, on the campus of Rockford University, ends its 12th season with Women Who Steal, by Carter W. Lewis. Lewis currently serves as Playwright-in-Residence at Washington University in St. Louis, where he teaches Advanced Playwriting and Dramaturgy.

The show is described as, “gal pals out for night of vengeance,” but the women are brought together as the result of an extra-marital affair, not the usual way of making a new friend.

Betsy Baker, who plays Karen, was born in Belvidere, attended Parkland on a musical theatre scholarship and then attended University of Illinois. Upon her return to Rockford she acted at New American Theatre, Starlight, Studio Theater and Artists’ Ensemble. Scott Chachula, playing multiple roles in this production, has been acting in the region for over 25 years. He is also half of the duo, One Less Tenor, section leader for Mendelssohn Chorale and musical director at St. Bridget’s Church.

Susan Gosdick, who plays Peggy, received her MFA from the University of California,

San Diego and a BA from the University of Notre Dame. Gosdick is currently teaching Voice at Columbia College Chicago and has served as Visiting Assistant Professor of Voice and Speech at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

The crew behind the scene includes: Director, Richard Raether; Costume Designer, Pam Ruenger; Sets and Light Design, Angelo O’Dierno; Stage Manager, Amy Creuziger; Technical Director, Laurie Oliver; and Production Assistant, Kris Walters.

On June 18 for the 8 p.m. performance you can grab your BFF and take advantage of the “Girls’ Night” Special, two tickets for just $50, mention Girls’ Night when you call the box office to order your tickets. And on Fridays and Saturdays during the run of the show when you dine at Five Forks mention “Steal of a Deal,” when ordering and you will get a free dessert!

Also, 10 percent of your bill will be donated to Artists’ Ensemble, because Betsy said so and she may be packing a BB gun!

Commentary

Mass-schootings a public health emergency

Editor’s note: The Conversation turned to two public health researchers on gun violence to help us understand the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Florida. Sandro Galea is the dean of Boston University’s School of Public Health. Ziming Xuan is an assistant professor at the school who recently led a study of state gun laws and youth gun-carrying in the United States.

How common are mass shootings in the U.S.? Do you consider gun violence a public health issue?

Sandro Galea: Mass shootings have been occurring with regularity in the U.S. for years now, but they are far from the only way people are affected by gun violence in this country. There were 64 school shootings in America in 2015. More than 32,000 people die from firearms every year, as many as die from car accidents. This is clearly a public health issue, and one with a solution – the control of widespread gun availability. This approach has been shown to work in countries like Australia.

Ziming Xuan: How common are mass shootings? One indication is that after the Umpqua shooting last October, President Obama spoke about the “routine” nature of mass shootings in our country.

We’ve regularly heard from the president on the issue. After the Kansas mass shooting in February 2016, Obama also urged the country not to become numb to gun violence. And just this weekend, he said: “to actively do nothing is a decision as well.”

While mass shootings galvanize the nation’s attention, a sad truth is that mass shootings represent a very small proportion of total firearm homicides in U.S. In 2012, fewer than one percent of firearm homicide victims were killed in mass shootings, defined by the FBI as a shooting with four or more victims. Gun violence is often among the leading causes of death (homicides and suicides) and nonfatal injuries among youth, and affects families and communities across the U.S. Gun violence has created a major and unique public health problem for the U.S., compared to other developed countries. In order to protect youth, the governments and adults in other developed countries such as France have made it difficult for youth to access handguns. However,

a recent study showed that about a quarter of U.S. adolescents reported they had easy access to a gun in their home. Meanwhile, the majority of young respondents told researchers they wished to live in a society where it is impossible for teens to obtain guns.

What else should people know to understand gun violence in the U.S.?

Sandro Galea: Firearm deaths are driven principally by availability of firearms. While frequently after these events we link them to mental illness, the evidence is very clear that this is a negligible part of the problem. People with mental illness are much more likely to be victims than perpetrators of firearm violence.

Ziming Xuan: Considering the magnitude of the gun violence problem in the U.S., gun-related research is limited in part because there is very limited funding from the federal government to advance our understanding about the nature and mechanism of gun violence or to evaluate and identify effective prevention strategies.

Parents definitely need to teach their chil-

dren to be responsible with risky and lethal products such as alcohol, guns, cars and so on. However, parents sometimes do not fully understand child and youth development, impulsiveness or curiosity.

A recent study shows that what parents report about their children’s access to guns often contradicts children’s reports. The kids reveal that they know the location of guns in the house and have handled the gun, while parents reported they did not. For injury prevention, it is far more effective and long-lasting to change the environment by changing modifiable policies and norms than to try to change the way children behave.

Compared to other states, Florida puts few restrictions on gun ownership. Was this a factor in the shooting in Orlando?

Ziming Xuan: Florida is ranked 25th in terms of gun law environment score, according to the state scorecard provided annually by the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

States with more restrictive gun laws tend to have lower level of gun ownership,

lower gun-related nonfatal injuries and lower gun-related fatalities including homicide and suicide. States that require background checks for all handgun sales had fewer mass shootings as compared to states without background checks requirement.

Many factors contributed to the shooting in Orlando, but the less restrictive state gun laws in Florida made it easy for the shooter to get an assault-style weapon.

Oregon – where a mass shooting took place in October 2015 – is one of nine states that allow guns on college campuses. What impact will ‘campus carry’ laws have on gun violence?

Sandro Galea: Wider availability of firearms is associated with more firearm-related injury.

Allowing guns on campus is the wrong strategy for reducing firearm injury.

Ziming Xuan: Published research has shown that states with weak laws and more guns are associated with more gun violence in the forms of suicide, homicides and other injuries and accidents.

Commentary

Voters want things shaken, not stirred

By Paula Coulahan Guest Contributor

P

erhaps the most unsettling thing we have learned during Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has not been about Donald Trump at all, but about ourselves as a country.

Certainly, many of us thought Trump would never get this far.

Clearly, that includes a legion of old-guard Republicans and Paul Ryan. Ryan, who may have a future in presidential politics himself, is probably in the worst spot of all. He is doing that dance that is somewhere between placating the voters who have spoken and being able to look his own children in the eye one day and tell them that, ultimately, he supported Trump.

But a more pressing issue, is

By Rich Miller

the “why?”. Why have Republican voters spoken in favor of Trump over others who displayed the proper decorum and credentials expected of presidential candidates? Even more concerning is this question: Why have Republican voters been either complicit or dismissive in relation to his racial slurs? What does this say about America?

Partly, it says that when you make xenophobic comments about Hispanics, Muslims, and the Black Lives Matter movement, you can unearth a lot of racist Americans who agree with you, and who will vote for you.

Also, there is a fringe percentage that sees it as acceptable for their candidate to rally his supporters to bad-mouth a Federal Court Judge. If you or I did that, we’d be in jail. There is a racist, entitled faction, but this still does not

fully explain Trump’s free pass.

Probably the biggest piece of the puzzle is that voters are looking for a candidate who is not part of the inside circles of Washington. This is huge, and it’s not going away. Trump obviously fits this bill, even though he is way out in left field when it comes to the issues and his demeanor. Look back at Will Ferrell’s hilarious Saturday Night Live opening from December of 2015 where he portrayed George W. Bush. Ferrell chided that Jeb Bush “…didn’t stand a chance in this field. He’s an insider who knows how to govern. Republicans voters don’t want that. They want someone who is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.”

While this made my family and me double over with laughter, we cannot fail to recognize that, for whatever inexplicable reason, Trump has appeal

for some voters.

On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders has rallied millions of supporters, me among them, who want to see real and positive change for people. There is a write-in campaign mounting for Bernie and, in an attempt to defeat the status quo, it could defeat Hillary by changing the margin just enough. Many polls have projected that Bernie would have the greater margin of victory against Trump. Business as usual is over. Voters want things “shaken, not stirred” this time around.

While we need to be careful not to pin a “violent” label on any one group, certainly we have seen outrage on both sides of the political fence throughout the Primary. This, I think, will play out at the conventions. The City of Cleveland has used part of

a $50 million federal grant to order 2,000 full sets of riot gear and three miles of metal fencing barrier for the Republican National Convention, according to the June 4 issue of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Department of Justice awarded the City of Philadelphia a $43 million grant to pay for police and fire protection, bomb squads, traffic cones, etc. during the four-day Democratic National Convention in late July, according to nbcphiladelphia.com/.

Now, do the math: 2,000 sets of riot gear; three miles of metal barrier; 11,200 attendees at Trump’s Costa Mesa rally; 28,000 attendees at Sanders’ Portland rally; 96 hours for each convention; two presumptive nominees who are still being contested vocally by voters and, in Trump’s case, by his own party.

Poll: Why? Because... Madigan!

Capitol Fax

T

he Democrats got a bit of good news and some serious bad news in a recent Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll. And that bad news is particularly negative for anyone who can be credibly connected to House Speaker Michael Madigan.

The poll of 1,231 registered Illinois voters found presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leading presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump by 12 points, 47-35. Another 7 percent said they were voting for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and 12 percent were undecided. The poll was taken June 5 and 6, had a margin of error of +/-3 percent, and 39 percent of the responses came from mobile phone users.

John Kerry won this state by 12 points in 2004, the last time an Illinois resident wasn’t on the presidential ticket. So, Clinton’s numbers are already aligning with Kerry’s. And the poll was taken before Illinois’ U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and other Republicans withdrew their support from Trump.

Clinton is leading 67-17 in Chicago and 47-35 in suburban Cook County. Trump, however, is ahead 42-38 in the suburban collar counties and leads by 10 points, 45-35, among Downstate voters - the location of some potentially very hot state legislative battles, so it’s not all good news for the Dems. Then again, Democratic presidential candidates haven’t fared well in

some Downstate regions in a long time, but Democratic legislators have mostly managed to hold onto their seats.

When looking at gender, location and voting history, the Libertarian candidate Johnson does his best with folks who have voted in the last three Republican primaries, scoring 11 percent not good news for Trump at all.

But as Gov. Bruce Rauner’s people have been warning for months, the Democratic House Speaker is getting the blame for the yearlong governmental impasse by a huge margin.

“The Illinois General Assembly has once again adjourned its spring session without a budget agreement – an ongoing situation that some feel is caused by a clash between Governor Bruce Rauner and Speaker Mike Madigan,” poll respondents were told. They were then asked to assign blame between the two men.

The poll found that voters blame Madigan by a decisive 21-point margin, 55-34, with just

9 percent saying “both” and a mere 2 percent saying they were still undecided.

The polling company conducted a similar survey late last month for another client. Based on that earlier polling, the firm’s principal Gregg Durham said there “seems to be a widening gap putting the Speaker in the lead in the budget blame game.” Durham noted that while Rauner enjoys “relative solidarity among Republican voters, Speaker Madigan’s numbers are comparatively soft among Democrats.” For example, 28 percent of people who have taken Democratic ballots two out of the last three cycles say Madigan is chiefly to blame. Independents blamed Madigan 49-39.

Durham also said there were significantly more people who said they were undecided in the earlier poll. So, positions appear to be hardening.

Chicago is the only region that blames Gov. Rauner over Speaker Madigan for the impasse, 52-35. But there is only one contested race

in the city, and Chicago GOP Rep. Michael McAuliffe’s district includes suburban Cook territory as well, where Madigan is blamed 5436. And there are lots of expectedly competitive legislative races coming up in suburban Cook. About 7 percent blame both in Cook County and 3 percent are undecided.

Downstate voters predictably blame Madigan over Rauner 59-29, with 11 percent blaming both and an almost microscopic 1 percent saying they’re undecided. Just about everybody has an opinion on this one, and that opinion is not good for the Democrats.

Madigan does worst among collar county voters, where 64 percent blame the Speaker and just 27 percent blame Rauner, with 2 percent undecided and 8 percent blaming both men.

Just 29 percent of men blame Rauner, but a very strong 62 percent blame Madigan.

Another 7 percent say both are to blame and 1 percent are undecided.

Fifty percent of female votes point their finger at Madigan as opposed to 38 percent who blame Rauner. 10 percent of women blame both and 3 percent are undecided.

The results reportedly confirm similar polling taken by the House Democrats and they definitely confirm polls taken by the Republicans.

So, why continue down this path? The answer from multiple sources is that Madigan is convinced it’s up to him to stop Rauner in his tracks, even if that means taking some losses.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— An unusual turn of events with your personal life leaves you blown away and filled with possibilities

this week. Slow down now and allow this to develop to its full potential. If you try to rush this, it will only create more delays. A love from your past will surface this month. Expect the unexpected, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You’re able to clear up an unresolved issue regarding affairs of the heart during this lunar cycle. This puts your mind at ease and opens the door for new opportunities in the future. Meanwhile, your career sector continues to grow and develop at a fever pitch. Your co-workers will be singing your praises by week’s end, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Romance starts to heat up midweek in the best possible light.

your concerns. Now is not the time. A gentle approach and acknowledgment of your love is all it takes this week, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Romance is loud and clear for you now even though you may not have it entirely aligned. Allow another to come to you as a whole being as opposed to trying to help them become whole. This is not your job, when you try to fix another you end up getting hurt. You are desirable, all eyes are on you. Go for it, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Once you overcome this obstacle you can move forward in a new direction. This hurry up and wait energy is getting on your last nerve and causing anxiety. Rome wasn’t built in a day and patience has never been a virtue of yours.

Remember that timing is everything. Love finds a way to conquer all, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You may feel like stepping back from a loved one, now would not be the time. Let all emotions play out for a while. Is it possible that you’re trying to fix or change them into what you think they need to be? Remember, we are all a work in progress. If we lead by example others will follow suit, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Romance may have left you with little to be desired early on this week. However; the fireworks have yet to be displayed. This weekend promises to be one to remember for you and your loved ones. Enjoy life’s little pleasures now. An unexpected phone call provides a ton of information. Keep this to yourself for now, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — It may be time to have a heart-to-heart talk with your loved one about their emotional state. If you go about this in a gentle manner, you will get the best results. A reality check may be best for both of you now. Remember, there is still a lot of love underneath the surface of all of these fears. By week’s end you will begin to see results, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Finances are in tip top shape this week. You are moving into an extremely busy time frame filled with prosperity. Your personal life begins to improve as well. Recent emotional stress has put a damper on your ability to receive love.

You’re a hot commodity in the months to come, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Romance may start out a bit bumpy this week. However; by week’s end the tables have turned in your favor. Sometimes we need to clear the air a bit before we can move forward into a deeper level of commitment. Once you have these aspects in alignment, there will be no stopping you from obtaining your goals, Pisces.

RVCU Helps Adopt A Camper 4

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

Using Homocysteine, CRP, Fibrinogen and Estrogen to Strawberry determine Stroke, Aneurysm and Heart Disease season begins

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

With farmers market season underway, we are in the middle of the first transition at the market.

Many of the cool season perennial crops like asparagus and rhubarb are now longer available.

However, there are a number of new crops being brought each week. Many cool season vegetables like lettuces, spinach, and kale are starting to show up. You might also find broccoli.

Last week brought the start of strawberry season for many farms in Northern Illinois. Vendors at farmers markets will be bringing strawberries if they have them. If you want to pick up strawberries at the farmers market, you need to plan to get there when the market opens. Strawberries and many other fruits are typically the first to be sold out.

There are some pick your own strawberry farms in our area. Many of these have been established for decades. At these farms, you have the ability to go into the field and pick your strawberries to then purchase. Strawberries might be sold based on pound or size of container. The reason you might pick your own is that you need an abundance of strawberries for preserving or for special meals.

A great family activity is to visit strawberry

farms to pick your own. Kids can gain a greater understanding of where their food comes from and also see how strawberries are grown. Many farms that offer pick your own strawberries may be selling other produce too. In addition, pick your own strawberries allows farmers to not have to spend as much time in the fields picking for market.

When it comes to visiting a pick your own strawberry farm, you want to expect to get dirty.

As you will be in the field, you need to have closed toe shoes, wear sunscreen, and have work clothes that can get dirty. While farms will provide you with containers to collect strawberries in, you might bring extra containers if you are planning to divide among family members.

Times and locations of pick your own strawberry farms will vary. You can easily find these farms by searching online for them in your area. Keep in mind that weather and rain is a factor in strawberry picking. Farms will be closed for picking on rainy days. We may also have a shorter strawberry season if we get regular rains so you need to plan to go to these strawberry farms sooner than later.

Know your numbers and ask for test

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D.

Have you ever noticed red dots on your face or forehead? This should worry you for these are markers that are telling me as a Naturopathic Practitioner that you are headed for an Aneurysm or Stroke. In the past looking at total cholesterol was adequate for heart issues but not anymore. Checking CRP, LDL, homocysteine and other clinical markers gives me more of an accurate picture of a person’s cardiovascular health.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker of system inflammation. Because stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVD)are primarily inflammatory disease, it is a powerful indicator to me of your CVD risk. A CRP level over 3 .0 already indicates to me a high risk for CVD. I have a wonderful protocol that reduces CRP and it is clinically documented that it works.

Homocysteine is involved in mitral valve processes as well as carotid stenosis. It is a protein that indicates if you are detoxifying substances in the body. Elevated homocysteine is associated with thrombosis, thyroid dysfunction and Alzheimer’s disease.

If your homocysteine is over 16 you increase stroke risk by 31 percent and coronary heart disease risk by 33 percent. This number should be less than 6. My protocol to reduce this is documented as well.

Cholesterol and Lipoproteins are indicators that need to be looked at along with the above numbers. I have found that lipoproteins are more

significant than cholesterol alone LDL or Low density lipoproteins are your bad cholesterol and is associated with high CVD risk. I cannot believe all the young people that is see in my office that have very high LDL readings. With higher LDL readings, they are at a 44 percent risk at this age of having major health issues through CVD. You have to treat elevated LDL levels or atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction will happen. Lipoprotein a is extremely harmful and is linked to developing thrombosis and blood clots. Apolipoprotein B is an indicator of vascular health and inflammation.

Wonderful documented protocols I have in my office for these issues.

Fibrinogen is a protein involved in the blood clotting process.

Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is released continuously by the heart at low levels however a spiked BNP level indicates congestive heart failure (CHF). Again, wonderful documented protocols.

If any of these test are elevated and you are not able to see your markers going down, please call upon my services so I can educate you on a new and proven protocol for stroke, aneurysm and cardiovascular diseases.

Life is too short and your health depends on a long life.

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

While the Dearly Departed Sisters are resting coolly underground and out of this world, the rest of us are in the worldly temperatures of an early summer. We need to cool down, so let’s try a salad.

This recipe practically jumped out of the recipe box as I was grinning with

appreciation of all the effort it took to compile their collection. I am also grateful for your readership of their collection, my recollections of them, and smartie comments by you know who you are.

They loved a good laugh. So laugh it up as you chop this salad up for a cool treat for kids and others kids disguised as adults – that’s everybody I know.

Ma Schier and Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

Large planting expectations not hindering corn prices

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Corn futures prices have increased about 75 cents per bushel since the surprisingly large 2016 corn planting intentions were reported on March 31. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist, the increase reflects declining South American production prospects and the associated strength in export demand for U.S. corn; expectations that planted acreage fell short of intentions; and recent yield concerns associated with an extended period of hot weather.

“Prices will continue to reflect weather conditions and summer weather forecasts, but will also be influenced by the USDA’s Grain Stocks and Acreage reports to be released on June 30,” says Darrel Good.

“The estimate of corn stocks as of June 1 will reflect the recent increase in the pace of exports and will reveal the pace of feed and residual use during the third quarter of the marketing year. The expected size of June 1 stocks can be calculated based on consumption data that are currently available and on the assumption that feed and residual use is on pace with the USDA projection of 5.25 billion bushels for the year.”

Based on the USDA’s Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production reports for March and April and on the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) weekly estimates of ethanol production during May, corn used for ethanol production during the third quarter of the marketing year is estimated at 1.24 billion bushels. Corn used for other domestic industrial and food products is estimated at 360 million bushels.

Cumulative export inspections during the first three quarters of the marketing year (September 2015 to May 2016), totaled 1.149 billion bushels.

Through April, however, cumulative Census export estimates exceeded cumulative inspections by 49 million bushels. If that margin persisted through May, exports during the first three quarters of the year totaled 1.198 billion bushels and exports during the third quarter totaled 555 million bushels.

For the marketing year, the USDA projects feed

and residual use of corn at 5.25 billion bushels.

Based on the Dec. 1, 2015, and March 1, 2016, corn stocks estimates, feed and residual use during the first half of the year totaled 3.634 billion bushels.

“Use during the last half of the year needs to total 1.616 billion bushels for total use to reach the USDA projection,” Good says.

“The historical distribution of feed and residual use between the third and fourth quarters has varied considerably. Use near 1.05 billion bushels during the third quarter this year would be near the mid-point of expectations based on the historical range. With March 1 stocks of 7.808 billion bushels and imports during the quarter of 20 million bushels, the estimates of consumption during the quarter point to June 1 stocks being 4.623 billion bushels,170 million larger than stocks of a year ago.

Stocks would likely have to differ from that estimate by more than 50 million bushels to produce a price response.”

According to Good, the June estimate of planted acreage of corn is expected to be less than intentions of 93.6 million acres reported in March. Some acreage may have been switched to soybeans due to the increase in soybean prices relative to corn prices and due to some delayed corn planting in the eastern Corn Belt. However, with the decline in prevent-plant acres this year and some increase in crop prices during the planting season, total acreage of spring-planted crops may have exceeded the surprisingly small March intentions.

“That potential increase creates some uncer-

tainty about the magnitude of corn acreage,” Good says. “A June estimate near March intentions would be somewhat bearish, depending on late month weather and weather forecasts. The June acreage estimate will not likely be adjusted until FSA certified acreage data becomes available in October, but there is a strong history of the final acreage estimate released in January to be less than the June estimate.

During the past 20 years when planting decisions were not directly impacted by farm programs, the final estimate of acreage exceeded June intentions only four times.”

Good says that without substantial surprises in the upcoming USDA reports, corn prices will be mostly influenced by weather and yield expectations, which is usually the case this time of year. The market has begun to price the elevated risk of a 2016 average yield that is below trend that have been discussed for a few months.

Increasingly, analysts are drawing parallels between the late 1982-83 weather pattern that resulted in very low corn yields and the 2015-16 weather pattern to date.

“Producers have waited for and now welcome the higher corn prices,” Good says. “The higher prices coupled with uncertainty about summer weather means that producers now have more price risk along with some production risk. December futures prices are now 60 cents above the crop revenue insurance price established in February so there is revenue risk for unpriced new-crop corn. Still, prices would continue to increase

with unfavorable weather conditions. What to do? Managing the current new-crop price risk can be accomplished with a combination of the timing of incremental sales and the use of options or options-based cash contracts. The choice of strategy will be influenced by local crop conditions and production expectations. While developing a marketing strategy is challenging, it is important to have a strategy because weather markets provide a window of pricing opportunity that typically persists for a relatively short period. The strategy probably should include plans for pricing some of the 2017 crop,” he says.

Bears Offseason Report

Long road traveled for Miller

By Robert Zeglinski

product could produce.

But the best-laid plans are laid to waste and sometimes completely forgotten.

A dislocated shoulder ended Miller’s 2011 season prematurely before he was really getting into a groove. With no horseshoe present for the young Miller, he later partially tore his Achilles and calf muscle while flashing in a preseason game the following season.

With that, another promising career seemed like a flash in the pan.

While Miller seemed like damaged goods and another also ran in the pile of lost potential, a dirty secret of the league, is that it’s cyclical. Players will go through gates multiple times before they’re completely run dry as everyone’s fighting for a job and looking to fill roster spots.

Tampa Bay would give him that second winding shot, but another preseason injury, this time a concussion, would pre-empt any honeymoon phase, and in this instance probably permanently end Miller’s career.

It is here where many professional athletes in their mid-20s may have taken stock of their shortcomings and terrible fortune and given in. Thus, Miller’s perseverance became a testament to breaking that trend and recognizing there was still a chance, no matter how faint.

The Bears, in a flier to add depth, given that Martellus Bennett was still with the team, signed Miller in 2013, allowing him to prove himself. It’s funny how the football gods seemingly laughed in the face of this plan. After showcasing his ability in a dynamic contest against Philadelphia in 2014, Miller suffered a Lisfranc injury the following exhibition.

Most justifiably wondered whether Miller’s body could absorb the toll of the league before this injury, and now most were eulogizing a promising talent.

A man who had worked through mental, physical, and emotional strain in a perplexing NFL career just couldn’t catch a break.

To the Bears’ credit, even with his extensive injury history, they stuck with the 31-yearold. Maybe it was blind faith or maybe it was genuine belief in Miller’s abilities, it doesn’t matter.

The ramifications to move forward with the determined Miller have had nothing but positive ramifications for a franchise in much more than a transitional phase. This is a franchise looking to end a drought of contention that is now relying on a player once considered scrap heap by others.

A 2015 relative breakout season where Miller had 34 receptions, 439 yards, and 5 touchdowns, wasn’t as explosive as say someone like Rob Gronkowski, but it pointed the arrow in the right direction.

For the first time in over three seasons, Miller

U.S. Cellular Field have unfolded were surely not among that list.

During Shields’ debut last Wednesday night on the south side, he allowed eight hits and seven earned runs including three home runs in just two innings of work before exiting the game against the Nationals. Having seen just two innings of work from their starter, the White Sox bullpen was worn quite thin, resorting to position player J.B. Shuck to take the mound in the ninth inning to close out an 11-4 blowout loss at U.S Cellular Field.

In Shields’ second start at home on Monday evening, this time against the division rival Tigers, things didn’t look much different.

Shields immediately surrendered a home run on the second pitch of the ballgame to Ian Kinsler, breaking ground on two innings

that would have Shields digging the White Sox into a hole early with a seven run deficit.

Shields has now allowed 14 earned runs, six walks, and four home runs over seven innings of work with the White Sox. It’s never over until it’s over though – and the White Sox rallied to win Monday’s contest 10-9 after a spectacular 12 inning marathon. The White Sox saw their offense step up to support the struggling Shields, including Jose Abreu, who went 2-4 with three RBIs on the evening.

Second basemen Brett Lawrie contributed to the rally as well by going 3-6 with two RBIs while the White Sox bullpen locked down the game only allowing two runs to score after Shields departed. Shields went a total of 5 innings, putting together two scoreless innings to end his outing on the day, something he says he wishes to build

upon after experiencing a rough stretch over the course of his last three starts dating back to his time in San Diego.

With an off day on Thursday, the White Sox will now head to Progressive Field to take on the division leading Cleveland Indians for three games before heading to Boston to face the Red Sox at Fenway Park in a four-game set. The White Sox are currently fourth in the American League Central, trailing behind the Indians, Royals, and Tigers.

ndividual success in the NFL isn’t just about possessing the necessary talent and physique. A player must land in a situation where his abilities are maximized and he’s coached properly. Once that happens, circumstances of fortune in staying healthy in an inherently brutal game have to swing in your favor.

An average career life span is three years in the NFL for a reason and it’s why the continuous grinder of promising careers stays at the forefront. It’s inevitable that many a superstar talent will fall victim to this vicious cycle. The human body can only take so much punishment and injury.

Everyone once thought Bears tight end, Zach Miller, was set to spin in the same unfortunate wheel of fate.

After being drafted in the sixth round of the 2009 draft out of the unheralded Nebraska-Omaha by the Jacksonville Jaguars, there weren’t many expectations for Miller. The quarterback-convert was described as someone with innate speed, route running ability, and a natural dynamic 6-foot-5 frame. However he didn’t have the necessary size and girth to succeed at one of the more physical and versatile positions in football.

It would take time and patience with the developmental project and at first everything seemed to go quite swimmingly.

Most of Miller’s first two seasons in Jacksonville went off without a hitch as the number-two tight end to the incumbent Marcedes Lewis.

Miller appeared in 29 games amassing 41 receptions as a reliable check down option for Jaguars quarterbacks. He began to flash the potential coaches and scouts originally believed the raw

lent his support on Twitter shortly after, and now, Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez wants a place in the lineup, too.

“I want in for sure,” Fernandez told the Miami Herald’s Clark Spencer on Sunday. “Oh my God, it would be amazing.”

Of course, getting managers and front offices around the majors to sign off on the idea may be a stretch too far.

Shields struggles in open frames for Sox

The arrival of James Shields on the south side of Chicago was likely envisioned in multiple ways, but the way in which his first two outings at

The Rock River Times | RockRiverTimes.com | June 15-21, 2016 |

and the Bears appeared in at least 15 games and as he transitioned to the number-one tight end role over the course of the season with Bennett losing favor, he only successively grew into the player he was envisioned to be.

Trust isn’t something easy to earn in the NFL yet everyone within the organization can appreciate how Miller has evolved into his current budding star role.

It’s why head coach John Fox and his staff gradually handed over the reins to the 32-yearold as they grew tired of Bennett’s antics. Miller proved to be a responsible team player.

It’s why Jay Cutler routinely uses Miller as a safety blanket when things are collapsing in the pocket. Take a look at any highlight tape of Cutler to Miller and you’ll see most of the quality plays between the two, being made under adverse pressure. Miller proved to be a playmaking teammate.

There’s a chemistry and close-knit relationship with everyone who supports Miller because he’s proven worthy of that respect. He’s been humbled by his past experiences and is maximizing his current opportunity in a way that those close to him innately notice and appreciate

his effort.

Now, the Bears go into the 2016 season with Miller as the alpha dog of the tight end group. The big target and safety valve who controls the middle of the field the way the position inherently dictates. It is no doubt exciting and harrowing for Miller to understand his platform.

While Chicago’s ultimate success moving forward now and in the future won’t completely hedge on Miller’s transformation into a star, it will certainly still play a factor.

Some will still question his health, especially now that he’s the guy and will be expected to appear on a regular basis, but that’s the wrong focus.

By centering in on his troubled past as the sole indicator of his career worth, you’re ignoring Miller’s final destination. They say you cannot grow into greatness and learn without failure.

If you’re not sure what that means, take a look at the glowing current Miller and you’ll understand..

Horse Racing

Creator closes out Triple Crown season at Belmont

By Susan Johnson Guest Contributor

T

hree races – three different winners.

At last Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, it was two gray horses a nose apart at the finish. In a field of 13 horses, Creator upset the favorite Exaggerator, who had run about fourth or fifth at the top of the stretch, but eventually faded to 11th.

Known to locals as “the Big Sandy,” the mileand-a-half Belmont Stakes in Elmont, New York, has earned the title of “test of champions.” Trained

by Steve Asmussen, who also ran Gettysburg as an early pace-setter, Creator “pulled off a miracle” as one commentator put it, in a surprise last-minute surge. Creator had run 13th in the Kentucky Derby but skipped the Preakness. As jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. urged him to the finish, Creator battled it out with Destin, who finished second by a nose.

A little farther back was Lani, the temperamental Japanese import at third, one of only three horses who ran in all three races. Creator paid $34.80, $14.60 and $9.40. Destin paid $9.40 and $6.20, and Lani paid $6.60.

The Desormeaux brothers, Keith (trainer) and Kent (jockey), were interviewed by NBC commentators before the race. They were in good spirits, coming off Exaggerator’s impressive victory in the Preakness. Both seemed pleased that Kent had voluntarily entered alcohol rehab after the Preakness and was determined to keep his new, clean lifestyle on track.

A look at race history

Does history repeat itself? The team of J. Paul Reddam, Doug O’Neill and jockey Mario Gutierrez certainly hoped so – up to a point.

They recalled 2012, when owner Reddam and trainer O’Neill had a horse called I’ll Have Another.

Many experts were surprised when this previously unheralded horse won the Kentucky Derby, and then the Preakness. He was scheduled to run in the Belmont Stakes as well, but the day before the race,

he was diagnosed with tendinitis and had to be pulled out of the competition.

Fast-forward to 2016: The same team is together again. This time they have an undefeated colt named Nyquist with seven wins to his credit. He won the Kentucky Derby, managed to finish third in a rainy Preakness, and was entered in the Belmont.

But May 24, fate struck again. Nyquist was running a fever and had a high white blood cell count.

Once again, the owner and trainer had to make the difficult but right decision for the health of the horse. Nyquist was withdrawn from the Belmont.

Attention was now focused on his nearest competitor – Exaggerator. This ever-striving horse had been beaten by Nyquist four times, but the fifth time was the charm. This horse was also said to have a quicker recover time between races, which may have given him an advantage over Nyquist.

At Pimlico, with the rain pouring down in torrents, Exaggerator made up ground along the rail, eventually surging to the lead to win the Preakness by 3-1/2 lengths, passing Cherry Wine and the tiring Nyquist. It was the same type of track on which he won the Santa Anita Derby in California on another drenching day.

For the record, only five unbeaten horses have won the Preakness Stakes, but all ran on a fast, dry track. Last year, coming into the Preakness, eventual Triple Crown winner American Pharoah had won six out of eight starts. On another Preakness day in 1973, Secretariat may have set the time record, but it could not be registered as official due to a clock malfunction.

However, it seems certain that his margin of victory in that year’s Belmont Stakes – 13 lengths!

– will never be equaled.

In attendance at this year’s Belmont Stakes were the last four living jockeys of Triple Crown winners: Ron Turcotte (Secretariat, 1973); Jean Cruguet (Seattle Slew, 1977); Steve Cauthen (Affirmed, 1978); and Victor Espinoza (American Pharoah, 2015).

Creator (13), ridden by jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., won last weekend’s Belmont Stakes in a photo finish, beating Destin to the line by a nose. Screencap, NBC Sports

The Southside’s savior?

Tim Anderson is the most exciting White Sox prospect to break through in years, and that’s sad.

By James Fegan Contributor

A

aron Rowand; Joe Crede.

These are the go-to names when trying to recall the last above-average position players the White Sox drafted, developed and turned into above-average members of their regular lineup, a far cry from the days of turning out a Ventura, Thomas or Durham every few years.

Pitchers taken at the top of the draft by the Sox like Chris Sale and Carlos Rodon are contributing to the major league staff in no time, and even relatively stalled developmental projects turn into bullpen members like Nate Jones and Jake Petricka.

But White Sox position prospects, they just die on the vine.

If the excitement and buzz for Tim Anderson, an unpolished 22-year-old who might never post even an .800 OPS season in his career, and would still meet scouting expec-

tations for his hitting, remember to place it in this context. The paucity of Sox positional prospects who have even played a significant role on the major league roster means Anderson’s arrival is still haunted by the ghost of Gordon Beckham, and rather than unbridled excitement for a promising replacement and the chance to see the top prospect in the organization, Anderson will have to dismiss concerns that he’s been rushed to the majors too quickly.

Anderson’s early assignments certainly won’t dissuade those worries. Just to be called up, Anderson had to unseat his Spring Training mentor and borderline Hall of Famer Jimmy Rollins right off the roster, and in his fourth game ever as a big leaguer, manager Robin Ventura unseated Adam Eaton – his regular leadoff man since 2014 – and stuck the rookie at the top of the lineup.

Anderson drilled one solid single in the sixth inning Monday night, pushing Dioner

Navarro to third, from where he would eventually score on a sacrifice fly. When Melky Cabrera ripped a double down the right field line, Anderson’s legs suddenly whirred to life.

You can look at a scouting report and see a note about plus-plus speed, and still watch a player for multiple games, especially a player still finding his place like Anderson, and wonder how often it will ever be relevant. Yet when Anderson flashed from first to third in an instant, with only the chains popping around his neck giving away how hard he was pushing, it seems like a nightmarish weapon that can change games.

That single was Anderson’s only hit of the night, and the first time he had reached base in three games.

These kinds of fits and starts should be expected for a while. Anderson was primarily focused on basketball until the latter half of his high school career, and only played two years at community college before being drafted. The time he has had to develop baseball skill pales in comparison to his peers, but his raw ability and knack for adjusting to new levels of play has always pushed him beyond where prudent man-

agement would leave him.

Anderson’s elite athleticism made it a natural choice to push him to shortstop, but he still has to prove he has the hand skills to stick there. His incredible bat speed portends power production in the future, but it will be a while before we know how consistent that will come, and while the focus on his paltry minor league walk rates failed to put his development in the right context, he will likely be swinging his way out of at-bats early on. He’s a prospect still, not a star.

Just two months ago, advocates of Anderson’s talent were preaching patience as he weathered a rough introduction to Triple-A; now he’s dealing with a an even rougher one. For a team that is desperate for any boost to their flagging playoff hopes, it’s an uncomfortable placement for a youngster that could frustrate as much as he wows to start. But if Anderson is not the savior, he can at least be the solace; a position prospect that will be worth the time to watch, even when the team isn’t.

Jake Arrieta has won 21 of his last 22 decisions and is set to go to the mound for the first game of this weekend’s series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field. MLB.com

Big-3 ready for big weekend

Arrieta, Lester, Lackey all set for matchup with Pirates, starting Friday

By Cat Garcia Contributor

T

he lengthy nine-game road trip that spanned over 11 days for the Cubs will finally come to an end today, but after an off day on Thursday, the road ahead is where the real challenge lies. Friday, the Cubs will return home to Wrigley Field for a six-game homestand that will have them hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals each for a three-game set.

Though the Cubs still find themselves with a substantial lead over these two teams in the divi-

sion, playing them back-to-back will leave much room to solidify the division lead even further as we head into the dog days of summer. However, there is also the danger that it leaves a bit of potential for the lead they currently have to shrink.

Recently, it seems to be a theme of former Cubs to always find their way back to the Friendly Confines, and this was proven yet again when, to the surprise of most, it was announced that former Cubs outfielder Chris Coghlan had rejoined the team. The Cubs brass completed a deal for Coghlan with the Oakland A’s in exchange for once highly-touted prospect Arismendy Alcantara on Thursday.

Coghlan was originally traded to the Oakland A’s during Spring Training this year to make room for the rejoining Dexter Fowler, but now will serve to help bolster the Cubs outfield that is currently without Kyle Schwarber for the season and outfielder

Jorge Soler. Coghlan was an exceptional addition to the 2015 Cubs bench, and batted .250/.341/.443 over 148 games with the Cubs while contributing above-average defense in left field.

The Cubs pitching staff continues to dominate the league two months into the season, and their starting staff still holds an NL leading ERA of 2.34, just above the second place Mets staff who are currently posting an ERA of 3.22. The Cardinals and Pirates are currently seventh and eighth in the league, respectively, with ERAs over four.

Jake Arrieta is scheduled to make the start for the Cubs on Friday in the series opener against the Pirates, while Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks will take the mound for the remainder of the series, leaving John Lackey and Jason Hammel in line to start during the Cardinals series early next week.

Derby aspirations

Being among the elite pitchers in the game isn’t enough for Arrieta. Now he wants to make a splash with his bat, as well.

The Cubs starter is among a number of pitchers who would like to see a home run derby featuring the league’s best hurlers, with the charge being led by the Giants Madison Bumgarner.

“We both love to hit,” Arrieta told MLB.com of Bumgarner. “You talk to a lot of people who don’t like pitchers to hit, but we love it. We take it really seriously. We’re in the cage hitting, we’re actually trying to work on things. We have the ability to help ourselves out. I’m not going up there trying to make an out.”
