Angelic Organics Learning Center seeks to fill CSA shares

The summer harvest of vegetables grown by Rockford youth at Blackhawk Courts Farm and the Youth Farm at Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum is approaching with many of these vegetables going to support the Roots & Wings Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.

The Roots & Wings network was launched in 2002 and is coordinated by Angelic Organics Learning Center.

The network is committed to community and youth development through urban agriculture.

Their Youth Leader program educates Rockford youth (ages 1218) to become leaders, the Youth Leaders then teach younger kids about farming and food.

The program also increases job skills through community-based urban farming and business training.

Youth Leaders help plant, grow and harvest vegetables for the Roots & Wings CSA every year.

The Roots & Wings Community Support Agriculture program is hoping to sign-up 25 shareholders before June 22.

CSA customers, referred to as shareholders, buy a share of the farm’s harvest, assuring fresh produce for the buyer and sustainable income for the farm.

“It is both encouraging and exciting to work with the youth year after year, watching them grow and mature into productive leaders in their communities,” said Tedd Snowden, Roots & Wings Market Manager.

“Their commitment to the work is demonstrated through their productivity and enthusiasm.”

Christian Union Pantry a lifeline for those in need

By Richard S. Gubbe Contributor

The Christian Union Pantry extends a helping hand to those in dire need of support to feed themselves and their families but is in need of assistance from the community to sustain its mission.

Located at Kilburn Avenue and Auburn Street on the city’s west side, Christian Union Pantry is one of the ministries of Christian Union Full Gospel Church Ministries. The Pantry has been in existence for more than 16 years in Rockford, serving those in need with dignity and respect. The pantry operates through acts of compassion and service, providing sustenance to all social, religious, gender and racial backgrounds. Even though the church is undergoing needed repairs due to storm damages, the pantry’s mission continues.

Over the years, an increase in the number of individuals seeking assistance continues to escalate, reaching as many as 360 families per month in the 61101, 61102 and 61103 zip codes. In addition to providing food, clothing and household items when available, the pantry also offers hope and friendship to those in need.

“Our mission continues to provide the much-needed help to our neighborhoods despite our ongoing financial challenges,” said the Rev. Leonard James, the Bishop of Christian Union

Church. “We have dedicated volunteers but lack the funds for new equipment and the increasing need for purchasing food to feed the needy.”

The pantry is open Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon, except when Thursday falls on a legal holiday.

Clients may visit once per month, obtaining food for as many as 12 nutritious meals that will best meet their families need.

“Our main goal is we are trying to develop a strong community and fulfill our spiritual mission,”

classified as a “food desert” in Winnebago County with an estimated 46,000 people living in poverty.

The pantry is supported by the church through its financial donors, food pantry outlets and working volunteers. The pantry is affiliated with the Greater Rockford Pantry Coalition. Church members also participate in the Crop Walk yearly and volunteer in the Postal Drive during the month of May by sorting food to be distributed to local pantries.

‘Our mission continues to provide the much-needed help to our neighborhoods despite our ongoing financial challenges.’

-Rev. Leonard James

James told TRRT. “That was the key element that Jesus always preached, to take care of the hungry. If we don’t do that, we are not fulfilling our mission.”

James added that the need for food assistance is great due to high unemployment, under employment and poverty. He said many of the clientele are single parents struggling to provide for their family, along with seniors who cannot afford to purchase food and medication. The population has been

Currently, the pantry is encountering challenges that prevent increasing the amount of food distributed. The immediate goal is to purchase up to 20 percent more food and add additional equipment to accommodate the growing client base.

The pantry is in need of: nEquipment to properly and safely handle food. nA freezer for storage space for frozen food. nNew tables for food distribution.

Chain-link fence becomes artists’ canvas

By Anne O’Keefe From Rockford Area Arts Council

The Rockford Area Arts Council is thrilled to be part of the Public Art Committee, working on projects that make ordinary spaces extraordinaire.

Theseareprojectsthatcalluponstudents,businesses, organizations in the spirit of building community around an arts installation. One project that is underway is the Off the ChainLink, which will transform an everyday chain link fence into a beautiful mural.

You may have noticed the beginning of one that has been installed at Scandroli Construction, 823 Madison St. owned by Joe Scandroli, Jr. Scandroli Construction has been in business for over 100 years and is happy to be a community partner for this project.

Students from Heather Frankfort’s class at Brookview School put paintbrush to CDs in the first round along with Jenny Mathews’ Girl Scout Troop. Ellyn Ahmer and a group of young artists at Fairgrounds are also enthusiastic artists.

The idea was brought forward by committee member, Therese Rowinski, Co-owner and studio director, 317 Studio and Gallery.

“I have a passion for public art and feel like Madison Street is such a major thoroughfare of the city and its location along the river is ideal.

Also, using children’s artwork on repurposed CDs

is very exciting. I love that the mural will change from season to season,” said Rowinski.

It’s estimated that it will take 10,000 CDs to complete this project. Many thanks to Brian Bowman, CD Source, and Randy Newhart, Rockford Public Library for donating to this project.

Because this is a community project we’d like to ask for your help and involvement. Starting in July

we are partnering with City Market to do a CD drive on July 3 and 10. The collection bin will be located at the City Market information booth located next to Pepsi on the east side of the pavilion. If you could leave the cases in your recycling bin at home we would greatly appreciate it! The Rockford Area Arts Council is also accepting collections Monday through Friday during regular business hours.

Many thanks to Cathy McDermott for letting us also participate in the activity area at the July 17 City Market where everyone is welcome to paint CDs. The CDs will then be processed for installation. All are welcome to join us on Monday, July 27 noon to 3 p.m. at Scandroli Construction, 823 Madison Street to help install under the artistic direction of Therese Rowinski.

Previous experience not required, it’s simple and fun. Holes will already be drilled in the CDs and you attach them with zip ties.

If you have a group of artists that would like to pick up supplies and participate as a group on their own time we are happy to prepare take home kits.

Call RAAC office to arrange at 815-963-6765 or email a.naber@artsforeveryone.com.

The entire fence will be magically transformed when the project is finished and we encourage everyone to participate in this first of many, community-based, installations.

nA computer system to aid in tracking clients, family size, children in the home, the elderly and the amount of food stored. nA 3-utility cart with 500-pound capacity. nTwo flatbed carts. nTwo hand trucks. nFive round banquet tables. nTwo wire shelving racks with 5 shelves.

To help with cash or in-kind donations, call the Rev. James at 815 558-1503 or send donations to Christian Union Pantry, 1705 N. Kilburn Ave., Rockford, IL 61101.

Energy & Environment

Learning to transition from the norm

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

here is a well established concern that the dominant global industrialized pattern of economic development is not sustainable. The condition has been labeled as being in overshoot, i.e. consuming resources and releasing wastes at a rate that exceeds the earth’s capacity to meet the ever-increasing demands being placed on it.

Environmental damages from industrialization are diverse and widespread and likely to accelerate given the world’s growing population and the global expansion of industrialization.

Growing recognition of the environmental and economic problems associated with current forms of economic development have led to efforts by individuals, communities, businesses and governments to encourage and support efforts to develop more sustainable patterns of living.

A recent interview of a San Diego couple on National Public Radio’s Here and Now highlighted their efforts to adopt more sustainable living patterns and drew attention to a movement known as Transition Streets. The couple has upgraded the energy efficiency of their home by adding insulation, installing solar power, capturing rainwater from their rooftop to supply water

for their organic gardens and raising chickens.

While many people have done similar things what makes them somewhat unique is that they have planted fruit trees in their front yard and developed a shaded site with a bench and Wi-Fi service to allow people walking through the neighborhood to sit down to rest, read an informational pamphlet or connect with others via their mobile phones while consuming a piece of fruit to add to their comfort. They have also established a children’s play area in the back yard.

They have joined the Transition Street movement to share ideas with others on how

to live more sustainably, and provide periodic discussion sessions in the community helping others to learn how to make similar sustainable practices in their own homes.

They and others are preparing to live comfortably now and in the future as our growing list of environmental and economic problems force an increasing number of us to be more self-sufficient and live less energy intensive lifestyles while reducing our involvement in the consumer society.

While not survivalists of the stored food and weaponized household mentality, they see them-

selves as learning to live less resource intensive lives in the expectation that global ecological trends are likely to force many more of us to adopt similar lifestyles.

The Transition Streets movement is an offshoot of the Transition Town movement founded by Ted Trainer. It focuses on developing community level resilience based on four key assumptions: It sees as inevitable a dramatically lower level of energy consumption and encourages people to make such adjustment now rather than being faced with a sudden emergency; our existing towns and cities are seen as lacking the resilience to withstand the resource shortages inherent when confronted with peak oil and climate changes; it calls for cooperative action now to prepare for such a future; relying on the collective genius of a community a plan can be designed and implemented while building a way of life that is connected to others and enriching.

Diverse individual efforts are underway to live more sustainable lives throughout the world. In a sense the effort is like old wine in new bottles. What is appealing about this effort is that is focuses people on their local communities and encourages cooperative endeavors with fellow citizens.

Getting the most out of your cucurbits

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Along with the solanaceous family of peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant, the cucurbitaceous family holds many of the quintessential summer vegetables. Cucurbits, as they are known, include yellow squash, zucchini, winter squash, watermelon, and cucumber. This family also includes the fall crops of pumpkins and gourds.

All of these having vining characteristics meaning that if I am going to plant them I need to be mindful of the spacing requirements. For instance, pumpkin and watermelon may need 8-to-10 feet between plants. Some growers design trellis systems for their cucurbits to climb up on. This allows for a better insect pest control, gets the fruit off the ground, and allows you the ability to reduce the footprint of these vining crops. A plastic netting spread between two wooden stakes can give support to the plant.

You’ll need to continually train the vine to wrap into the netting.

Cucurbits do well as direct seeded although some growers will start the seeds indoors a couple weeks then transplant into the garden. Start-

SOUTH BELOIT ROCKTON ROSCOE ROCKTON TOWNSHIP

ing them earlier allows for extra growth than waiting on the seed to germinate into potentially colder soil. Summer squash and zucchini have either large orange and yellow blossoms that are edible. These can be fried, stuffed, or eaten raw.

If you decide you want to pick them from your plants, you want to remove the male flowers. To know which ones these are, you’ll look behind each flower to see if there is a small fruit developing. If there isn’t a small fruit, then this is a male flower and can be removed. If you remove the female flower then you won’t have a squash or zucchini from that flower.

Like all other vegetables, cucurbits are susceptible to diseases and insect pests.

Downy and powdery mildew both can cause considerable leaf tissue damage on the plants although some plants such as cucumber may be more susceptible than others. With insects, striped and spotted cucumber beetles and squash bugs are the main insect pests we deal with in cucurbits. Even with these insects and disease, cucurbits grow very well in our region and depending on the season, can be prolific in yields. Next week, I’ll talk more about cucurbits’ diseases and insect pests.

Vibe Entertainment Tube Talk

The Un-Reality of reality

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

O

ne of my favorite new summer series is Lifetime’s UnREAL, which debuted earlier this month.

(Yes. Lifetime. Its new slogan could be “Not just cheesy TV movies anymore.”)

UnREAL may take place on the set of a Bachelor-like “reality” show, but instead of glamorizing the genre, UnREAL shows how easily producers can manipulate contestants and edit clips together to make one bachelorette more sympathetic while turning another into a villain.

Constance Zimmer (House of Cards, Entourage) plays the puppet master showrunner, Quinn, a woman with apparently no qualms about exploiting contestants’ vulnerabilities and naivety if it results in a juicier storyline.

When something horrible happens, she’s likely to say, “It makes great TV.” But when the British bachelor (Freddie Stroma, Pitch Perfect, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) fails to choose the woman Quinn has chosen to be the villain, field producers are offered a cash bonus to get footage making one of the remaining contestants the new villain.

Not only does the faux reality show they’re making have a villain and a saint, it has every “type” of contestant you would expect, even if some have to be manufactured with creative editing (or persuaded to go to extremes to get more camera time).

The engineered drama of the show-withinthe-show is nothing compared to the problems facing freelance producer, Rachel (Shiri Appleby, Life Unexpected, Roswell), a former staffer whose train wreck of a personal life includes a public emotional breakdown, debt, homelessness, blackmail, a dysfunctional family and working with her ex and his new fiancée.

While some behind-the-scenes elements are surely played up to make this a highly entertaining show, the fact that one of its co-creators, Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, once worked on The Bachelor leaves you wondering how much, if at all, the line between reality and reality shows has been blurred.

Another summer series, The Astronaut Wives Club, based on author Lily Koppel’s non-fiction book of the same name, tells the story of the women married to some of NASA pioneering astronauts.

Starring Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck) and JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Reba, Once Upon A Time), The Astronaut Wives Club is set in early 1960s. The 10-episode series no doubt dramatizes and condenses the book’s version of these real women’s life stories — which were whitewashed by NASA publicists back in the day to make the astronauts and their families appear more heroic than they already were — into a more linear narrative. But just because a show is based on real-life events doesn’t mean the final result will be any more factual than a so-called “reality” show.

If you watch both shows you’ll probably be left wondering which is closer to reality: the backstabbing antics that go into in creating a salacious reality show as depicted on UnREAL, or a drama fueled TV series based on a book about the actual women who happened to be married to our earliest astronauts?

UnREAL airs Mondays at 9 p.m. CST on Lifetime The Astronauts Wives Club premieres Thursday at 7 p.m. CST on ABC

San Andreas promises action, delivers on it

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

I

t feels like Dwayne Johnson can do no wrong. After helping revamp the Fast and the Furious franchise in 2011, he went on to become the highest grossing actor of 2013. Audiences love him and even the most hardened critics aren’t immune to his charm.

His latest film is the catastrophe laden San Andreas. If it feels familiar, it’s because it should.

This is every disaster film of the last 20 years recycled in 3D, or 2D if you prefer not to get headaches. Johnson has massive shoulders, but is he capable of carrying a film like this to blockbuster status? Or maybe it’s more fun than its premise suggests.

Johnson is Ray Gaines, a Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter-rescue pilot and recognized hero. Despite being an all-round awesome guy, he’s going through a divorce with his estranged wife Emma (Carla Gugino).

Gaines has to grit his teeth and grin when he finds out Emma and their daughter Blake (Alexandra Daddario) are shacking up with Emma’s new boyfriend Daniel (Ioan Gruffud).

Not that Daniel is a suitable replacement for Gaines. When the San Andreas fault starts to shift, Blake finds herself trapped and Daniel leaves her like the coward he is. Gaines must battle his way across the country as he fights nature to save his daughter.

San Andreas puts its cards on the table from the offset. This film is full of clichés, stereotypes and wanton destruction. It does so however in the most unapologetic fashion, and this is partly why it manages to be an enjoyable adventure movie.

Director Brad Peyton can be forgiven for serenading us with disaster porn as this is a film that does what it says on the tin. He is very effective at ramping up the tension and prevents the action from getting stale and overwhelming. Maybe news coverage of real life natural tragedies are too fresh in the memory as there is something genuinely distressing about some of the set-pieces.

Screenwriter Carlton Cruse may be most famous for his work on Lost, however here he keeps things simple. The plot is predictable with many of the characters fulfilling the usual tropes; estranged wife, gutless new boyfriend and the science guy (a criminally underused

Paul Giamatti). Yes, it may seem overly familiar and that’s what makes it work. That and its lead star.

Johnson’s natural charisma makes it difficult to dislike him. The only way he’s made more likable is by contrast to the sniveling Gruffud, who plays the pathetic Daniel with ease. Gugino isn’t given much to sink her teeth into as she inevitably realizes that Ray is a much better catch then Daniel. It would be easy to relegate Daddario to damsel in distress, instead she is one of the stronger characters as she helps keep two brothers alive, as she offers more than a walking talking McGuffin.

San Andreas isn’t going to be bothering judges come awards season, but so what? Not every film has to be thought provoking with deep meaning, some of them can just be fun and with San Andreas, fun is what you get. It may not warrant repeat viewing but as far as disaster films go, it doesn’t pretend to be anything it isn’t. Stock up on popcorn.

Mud pies and green spaces Children do better when they can get outdoors

By Greg Mannion TheConversation.com

When the calendar rolls to spring time inevitably, pupils and teachers start to wish they were outdoors and not stuck in a classroom. There is now a growing body of evidence why teachers should respond to these urges and incorporate outdoor places into their teaching and the school day more widely.

A new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a team of researchers from Spain, Norway, and the US found that time spent near or in green places, especially those in and around schools, can improve learners’ cognitive development. Payam Dadvand and colleagues found that pupils’ ability in memory tasks and to maintain attention improved over time if their schools had green spaces on their campus and nearby.

The study involved 2,500 children aged seven to ten in Barcelona, who were tested every three months over a 12-month period. The researchers found small but significant improvements in

“working memory”, “superior working memory” and “attentiveness” in pupils with green areas near and in their schools. Importantly, in this rigorous study, the effects of greenness were found regardless of the socio-economic background and education of parents.

The Spanish-led team sought mainly to explain and explore the medical reasons for their findings.

It could be, the authors argue, that with green spaces children are less exposed to traffic and the kinds of pollutants that are likely to negatively influence development, especially at the younger ages. There are also possible explanations such as the reduction of noise, the likelihood that children will be more active, and, the presence of natural microbes – which I think we can take to mean that “making mud pies” is good for your development.

We have some way to go to grasp the other knock-on effects of green space. For example, we know from other studies that exercising in green spaces and greenness in one’s neighbourhood improves mental health through lowering the risk of anxiety and depression. It could be that happier children are better able to learn too.

Finnish psychologist Kalevi Korpela has done useful work in this area. He found that spending “time out”, time alone or times in one’s favourite

place in nature have positive effects: reducing stress levels, muscle tension, heart rate and other physiological factors. It has been argued that being alone in nature is “restorative” for us, allowing us to clear our minds, and deal with our troubles, and feel better about ourselves.

Different “dosages” of green space can have a range of different effects on different kinds of people that are only recently being uncovered.

Richard Mitchell’s work in Scotland has found that access to green or recreational areas led to a narrowing of the differences between rich and poor on some measures around mental health. Another recent study looked at how even visually experiencing nature – in this case looking at photos and videos – may increase one’s disposition to cooperate and to engage in certain actions. For some, the type and duration of the required “dose” of green space in our increasingly urbanised settings is an important consideration as we move towards deeper understandings of its effects.

Lacking in much of the research reported upon above is any in-depth consideration of the way people’s engagement with nature and green spaces are influenced by society and culture, and by the types of natural places they go to. In edu-

cation, we need to do more work to understand better how pupils are using green spaces for travel to and from school, during playtime, and within the curriculum.

Given the wider literature on the effects of having green spaces nearby, we might expect that engaging in more purposeful activity in nature for educational ends (rather than merely looking at it or having it nearby) will boost pupil’s achievements and attainment. In my own research, funded by a consortium led by Scottish Natural Heritage in Scotland, we looked at the provision of outdoor learning opportunities for children.

It seems that research across many areas and disciplines now needs to be combined to fully understand the green uplift effect in many aspects of education, health, development and well-being, particularly for young people. The majority of us will soon be living in cities worldwide so there are new and important reasons for planning for green space in all local areas but within and around schools and pre-schools.

In the meantime, I suggest that we should begin to green our educational provision – and our own backyards and schoolyards are certainly a good place to begin.

Test data misuse reaches absurd levels

By Flynn Ross

TheConversation.com

The promise of the bipartisan No Child Left Behind (NCLB) 2001 legislation was, as the name says, that no child would be left behind. A key piece of this legislation is the annual testing of every child from third through eighth grade and then once in high school.

The data from these tests were intended to provide policymakers and educators with evidence to improve educational outcomes for the most disadvantaged students. But instead of promoting equity and social justice, the data are being used, in some cases, to further punish and disenfranchise the most vulnerable students.

As an educational researcher, teacher and mom, I understand the potential as well as the unintended impacts of the annual testing regime. I also know that it doesn’t have to remain this way. We, as a nation, can do better.

NCLB is a reauthorization of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Many efforts have been made to reauthorize NCLB since 2007, with a big push this spring to get it revised and reauthorized before the fall campaign season.

NCLB’s use of standardized testing has been widely criticized for its inability to improve learning

outcomes, especially for the most vulnerable students. It’s not just excessive testing, but an inappropriate use of the results that are now threatening the quality of public education.

Professional organizations such as the American Evaluation Association and the American Educational Research Association (AERA) have put out public statements about how “high stakes” decisions based on test data violate the code of ethics to “do no harm.”

AERA’s statement lists a set of conditions under which testing programs need to be implemented: alignment of curriculum with the test items, adequate resources and opportunity to learn, validation of the passing scores and means to address the needs of students with language and learning differences.

In addition, AERA has said that test scores should follow a strict ethical code when it comes to evaluations. Much of this is currently missing.

Let’s take stock of just how many tests are currently “out there” and what their different purposes are.

For instance, there are NCLB mandated “accountability” tests, such as Smarter Balanced Assesment (SBAC) and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC);

“diagnostic” tests used by districts to assess students and inform instruction, such as Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEAs); and course-level tests for high school students, such as Advanced Placements and International Baccalaureate.

There are also college entrance tests, such as SAT and ACT. And there is the national sampling for comparison across states – National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and, for international evaluations, there is Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

This is all on top of the classroom- and school-level assessments that actually support the daily teaching and learning process between a teacher and a student.

As a result, what has happened is that there is too much testing and not enough learning.

The testing industry that has emerged from this is now a formidable lobby. Over the past five years it has spent over $20 million to secure the $2 billion annual industry of standardized testing in the US. The data generated from this testing are being used to make critical decisions about students, teachers and schools.

Unfortunately, however, test data have not been used to improve teaching. Instead, data from the NCLB mandated accountability tests are being terribly misused.

There are now several court cases related to the misuse of standardized test scores in teacher evaluations and high school completion tests.

Teachers’ job positions, careers and salaries are being determined by test scores of students they don’t even teach.

US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has pushed for teacher evaluation to be based in part on students’ standardized test scores despite the experiences of Tennessee, Houston and Florida, where misuse of test data has been seen and challenged in court.

In these states, art and physical education teachers were evaluated on students’ English and math test scores. This error has already led to lawsuits in Tennessee and in Florida.

Luke Flynt, an Indian River County teacher, in public testimony to the school committee, discussed how absurdly unreasonable these models of testing are. Flynt was a teacher in Florida who received unsatisfactory ratings because the computer model predicted that his students would score above a perfect score.

Similarly, last year, Sheri Lederman, a fourth grade teacher in New York’s Great Neck Public School district, has challenged the inappropriateness of her teacher evaluation rating. The case will be heard by the New York Supreme Court.

As it is, teachers are frustrated. Testing has only added to it. Between 40 percent and 50 percent of new teachers are leaving the profession within five years. This is leading to a huge loss of social capital and institutional capacity in the

highest-need schools, where the rate of teacher exodus is highest. The annual cost of teacher dissatisfaction, expressed in the high turnover, is estimated to be $2.2 billion.

This misuse of data is also one of the reasons behind the national opt out movement, as parents and teachers say no to testing.

This misuse of data is also driving states to opt out of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

At least 10 states have already dropped the CCSS, and similar legislation is pending in most other states. Several states are “rebranding” the standards by having more local input and revising elements of the standards.

Testing has not worked The National Academies, the premier source of expert advice on pressing societal challenges, have documented that the current test-based accountability models of incentives and sanctions has not been effective for improving learning or achievement.

They have also called for reformed models of accountability that would consider broader-based measures of progress.

As is evident in these details, the true failure of education, as stated by the American Statistical Association (ASA), has been in preparing our legislators and educational policymakers in the ethical use of statistics.

In particular, the Value Added Model (VAM), a complex statistical tool, is being inapproriately used for assessing teachers’ performance.

The ASA has cautioned that these data are not an accurate measure, as standardized test scores are not “causational.” In other words, test results are affected by many factors – not just the teacher. Results need to be interpreted with caution.

And also, for this reason, no high-stakes decisions such as job termination should be made based on the test results.

The basic scientific premise of quality assessment and evaluation is taking multiple measures, using multiple methods, and making use of multiple opportunities for a more accurate representation of anything being studied, particularly something as complex as teaching.

The aspirations of “No Child Left Behind” are essential for our nation’s success. However, the current models based on limited standardized test scores significantly underrepresent the complexity of learning.

Other nations have developed models of educational accountability that are aligned with standards, reduce the number of tests, and help ensure equity and improve educational outcomes by strengthening teaching and learning.

They also cost a lot less.

The question is: do we, as a nation, have the political will to leave behind the illusion of a quick fix from test scores?

Commentary Letters to the Editor

Machesney Park board’s business hypocrisy On May 4, 2015, the Machesney Park Liquor Commission met to review and approve two new liquor license/gaming requests. One for Burden Rd. and one for N. Second St. Liquor commissioners Erick Beck, Ike Trickie and Mayor Bolin voted “yea,” Commissioner Snodgrass voted “nay.”

“I just don’t like them,” she said. (Snodgrass has voted “yea” to other liquor license/ gaming requests in the past, especially on N. Second St.) Both license requests are in a commercially zoned area. There was no documented written or verbal public opposition to either license.

On May 18, 2015, the Village Board approved an ordinance change allowing the licenses and both passed with Trustees Beck, Bailey, Wilson, Johnson and Kidd voting “yea.” Trustee Snodgrass voted “nay.”

Mayor Bolin also voted “yea.”

On June 1, 2015, the Village Board passed the Burden Rd. request 5 to 1, of course Snodgrass was the only “nay” vote. The board then voted 5 to 1 opposing the N. Second St. license request. Trustee Beck deciding now he is a “nay” vote. (Yet he voted “yea” at the Liquor Commission hearing.)

There was no reason given as to why the license was denied.

The approved license request was given to a current business owner, the denied request was for a retired Deputy Sheriff and

Military Veteran [Tyson]. If you are a current business owner or a Rt. 173 corporate giant, the Village Board is there with open arms. Apparently everyone else can just move along.

Mandatory labeling is un-COOL for all of us

On May 18, the World Trade Organization (WTO) published its fourth and final ruling on the United States’ Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) measures for beef and pork. Once again, the verdict was clear: COOL violates the international trade obligations of the United States and this discriminatory measure undermines our shared North America prosperity.

Why should this matter to Americans? A 2015 study contracted by the US Department of Agriculture estimated that over a cumulative ten-year period COOL led to losses of over $8.5 billion to the U.S. beef industry and $1.7 billion to the U.S. pork industry. An estimated 6,000 American jobs have already been lost due to plant closures associated with COOL. And there could be more bad news for the American economy if Canada is forced to retaliate.

Canada is the number one customer for 35 U.S. states, including Illinois. Canadians bought $1 billion in US beef and $900 million in US pork last year alone. We are the USA’s best customer in the world – including for agricultural

exports.

Given this immensely successful trading relationship, the effects of Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of U.S. exports that could include beef, pork, cereals, corn, other agricultural products and even non-agricultural goods, would be significant.

For many years, American feedlots and processing plants have imported live animals from Canada, raising and processing them in the United States. This trade in livestock has helped American plants run at full capacity, which has supported jobs, families and communities on both sides of the border. COOL, by requiring the segregation of livestock and its meat at each step of the supply chain, has damaged these operations by imposing additional costs on farmers, ranchers and consumers. In the process, it has damaged the integrated supply chain that agriculture and countless other industries depend on for our mutual prosperity.

Let’s agree up front on one fact about COOL: it’s not about food safety. The US Department of Agriculture has confirmed this. Canada’s long-standing position on COOL is that the measures for beef and pork serve protectionist objectives above all other stated objectives – and result in discrimination against the USA’s largest trading partner. We are not alone in our position. This policy has hurt a number of American businesses, processing plant workers, and ultimately consumers. Significantly, on May 27, the American Farm Bureau Federation called for the full repeal of

COOL on beef, pork and chicken.

So what comes next? On June 4, Canada requested WTO authorization to levy more than $3 billion in tariffs on U.S. exports to Canada.

It is still hoped that a legislative change to fully repeal the offending provisions of COOL will be supported by U.S. lawmakers. We anticipate a ‘green light’ later this summer – and will have no choice but to proceed if Congress has not by then passed legislation conforming to the USA’s legal obligations. Mexico – the USA’s second best customer – has also committed to act.

There have been encouraging signs. On May 19, the day after the latest WTO verdict, Members of the U.S. House moved swiftly to introduce the bipartisan bill H.R. 2393, to repeal COOL for beef, pork and poultry. On May 20, the House Agriculture Committee overwhelmingly approved that bill. Final consideration is pending in the House. Should it pass, it will then rest with the U.S. Senate to act. Action by both Chambers is required for U.S. trade compliance to be achieved, for the integrated and highly successful North American livestock sector to be restored, and for producers, processors and consumers on both sides of the border to benefit.

After seven years and four verdicts to the effect that U.S. mandatory COOL is illegal, it is time for the USA to end this harmful policy.

One view

Pope Francis can reframe the climate debate

By Matthew Nisbet

Northeastern university

W

arning of “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem,” Pope Francis in an encyclical to be released this week (and already leaked) calls for aggressive action to combat climate change and other environmental problems.

In the special papal letter addressed to the world community, Pope Francis is expected to emphasize the deep moral imperative for rich countries to move away from reliance on fossil fuels, committing to cleaner energy sources and reduced consumption.

Voicing skepticism of market-based strategies like carbon credits, he called on rich nations to directly aid poorer countries in their pursuit of sustainable economic growth and efforts to protect against climate change risks.

In the United States, where debate over climate change remains sharply divided along partisan lines, the release of the encyclical comes at a time of changing cultural dynamics on the issue. In this context, Pope Francis’ appeals may contribute to an important shift in public debate.

Shifting the conversation

Though US Catholic bishops are reportedly divided over Pope Francis’ encyclical, his letter marks the launch of coordinated sermons, homilies, and media outreach on the part of several US bishops and aligned Catholic groups.

The Vatican-led campaign sets the stage for a September visit to the US by Pope Francis in which he will give separate addresses to the United Nations General Assembly and to a joint session of the US Congress, all in the lead up to the United Nations Climate Summit a few months later in Paris.

Surveys suggest that US Catholics, who number almost 80 million and comprise about a quarter of voters, are more likely than other Christians to believe that climate change is happening, that it is human caused, and to support policy action.

But instead of strongly held opinions, these beliefs are mostly weak sentiments, according a survey done earlier this year by the Yale University Project on Climate Change Communication. Rather than identify the issue as one that involves considerations of right and wrong, most Catholics like other Americans still think about climate change abstractly and in technical terms.

Yet the Vatican-led campaign on climate change has the potential to reframe the issue as a religious and moral imperative, helping parishioners articulate why climate change matters, deepening their commitment to action.

Pope Francis has said global warming will cause “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem.” Those pushing for climate legislation reform hope the shift from the Catholic Church can push more traditional Conservatives to see that change is needed to head off a catastrophe. Aleteia Image Department

Pope Francis is viewed favorably by 90 percent of US Catholics and by 70 percent of all Americans. Given his popularity, the September visit is likely to command the type of saturation media coverage more typical of a Royal wedding or Super Bowl.

Such coverage will help elevate discussion of the moral significance of climate change. Many Catholic churches are also likely to be transformed into engines of civic engagement, as clergy and aligned groups exhort churchgoers to get involved, to reach out to others in their communities, and to contact elected officials.

A changing political context

The Vatican’s campaign coincides with the start of the Republican Party’s nomination race for president, posing a serious challenge to conservatives who continue to deny the warnings of climate scientists or

who oppose efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

Among declared or likely Republican candidates, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, George Pataki, Rick Santorum, and Bobby Jindal all identify as faithful Catholics. The Pope’s outspoken advocacy on the issue is likely to trigger uncomfortable questions that will dog Republican candidates on the campaign trail and in debates.

His address to a joint session of Congress will generate similar tensions for the more than 80 Republican members who are Catholic, including Speaker of the House John Boehner and former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

Jay Faison, a conservative Republican and entrepreneur, recently announced he was donating $165 million to endow a climate change and clean energy foundation. For members of his party, as Faison told The Washington Post, the significance

of the Vatican’s campaign is clear: “There’s a good argument to be made that losing Catholics will lose you the election.”

It’s impossible to predict precisely the impact of Pope Francis’ moral call to action on climate change, making it an exaggeration to say that his encyclical is a political game changer. But the Vatican-led campaign is a significant sign that the conversation about climate change may be shifting.

As Vatican adviser and Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs argues, it’s also important to stay focused on the major technical hurdles to decarbonizing the world economy.

Such a transformation will require not just moral commitment and more mindful consumption, but most importantly major government financing of innovations in solar, wind, nuclear energy, and carbon capture and storage technologies.

Policy

EPA Clean Power Plan reignites US climate efforts

By Jonas Monast TheConversation.com

For the first time this summer, the nation’s fleet of existing power plants will face limits on carbon dioxide emissions.

Depending on whom you ask, the release of the EPA’s final Clean Power Plan is either an important step in addressing the challenge of climate change, an example of overreach by the federal government or largely insignificant.

Understanding the structure and potential impacts of the Clean Power Plan requires some context.

First, it is difficult to overstate the pace and scale of the transition already under way in the nation’s electric power sector.

Natural gas prices, once characterized by significant volatility, are projected to remain low for the foreseeable future due to the rapid expansion of shale gas production via hydraulic fracturing. Electric utilities are facing new limits on emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

The cost of solar energy continues to drop. Wind power is increasing. Future electricity demand is expected to remain relatively flat due in part to improved efficiency of appliances and electronics. Utilities are also retiring a large number of older coalfired power plants. Together, these factors are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of electricity.

Second, the EPA is developing the Clean Power Plan based on its authority under the Clean Air Act. This is the latest in a string of steps following the 2007 US Supreme Court case Massachusetts v. EPA that concluded the Clean Air Act applied to greenhouse gas emissions. The specific section of the law at play here – section 111(d) – has rarely been triggered and there are no direct judicial decisions interpreting the statutory language.

This lack of precedent, combined with the broad terms that Congress included in section 111(d), grants the EPA and the states significant flexibility as they assess strategies to reduce CO2 emissions from the electric power sector.

State targets

State-specific emissions targets lie at the heart of the Clean Power Plan. The EPA has proposed calculating the state emission targets based on four criteria: improving efficiency at existing coal-fired power plants; increasing the use of existing natural gas facilities; increasing or maintaining generation from zero-emitting sources (including renewable and nuclear facilities); and increasing energy efficiency.

Individual state targets will differ because the potential for reducing emissions under each category varies from one state to another.

State officials will then have wide latitude to develop their own plans to meet the targets. If states refuse to submit a plan, or if the EPA determines that the submitted plan is inadequate, a federal plan would apply.

The long-term impacts of this new regulation will depend on forthcoming decisions by the EPA, the states and the courts.

The more stringent the emissions limits, for example, the more steps that state regulators and electric utilities must take to comply and the greater the reduction in the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Long-term impacts will also turn on the degree of guidance the EPA provides regarding compliance options. Many states have limited capacity to evaluate the full range of the options on their own. If the EPA reduces administrative and technical hurdles for some choices, there is a good chance that many states will pursue those options.

How states choose to implement the actual targets will determine how utilities respond to the new rule. For example, whether or not states approach compliance on an individual basis or as part of a multistate effort may have a major impact on the overall cost of the program.

With the exception of most of Texas, the nation’s electricity grids span state borders. If neighboring states make different implementation choices, it could affect how companies operate their existing power plants and where they site new facilities.

Courts will also play an important role in determining whether and how the Clean Power Plan moves forward. The EPA has already survived one court challenge to the Clean Power Plan, but more are certain to follow issuance of the final rule.

The EPA initially proposed requiring states to submit their plans within one year, with the possibility of a one- or two-year extension. That timeline will likely change in the final rule. Legal challenges could also potentially delay implementation.

New discussion

While it will take some time to assess the long-term implications of the Clean Power Plan, the regulatory process has already produced a notable result.

By moving forward under its existing legal authority, the EPA has shifted the policy debate from “whether to regulate CO2 emissions” to “how to regulate CO2 emissions.”

This, in turn, has reinvigorated serious conversations among state regulators, utility executives and environmental groups regarding policy options to achieve meaningful environmental benefits in a cost-effective manner.

States have always been at the forefront of efforts to address climate change, and that leadership will continue under the Clean Power Plan.

With deliberate planning, this process could provide state regulators with a tool for guiding the electricity sector into the future.

Voices from the Grave

The Witch of McGregor Road

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

his story has been around for years – some people say it started circulating in the 1980s while others put the origin even further back. Over the years the story changed until there were several different versions.

One story claimed that there was an old witch named Beulah that lived in a house in some secluded woods on McGregor Road. She was allegedly responsible for abducting children to use in her satanic practices. Instead of deterring teenagers from going to the woman’s house, this story had the opposite effect.

Another version claimed that this woman had been a teacher in a one room schoolhouse located on McGregor Road. While Beulah was teaching one day, the building caught fire and two of her students died. Beulah was so devastated by the fire she purchased the school and turned it into her home.

The parents of the children she taught held her responsible for the deaths and ostracized Beulah. The guilt she felt and the treatment by the locals pushed her over the edge into insanity.

She was seen wandering the woods around her house, calling to the children that were lost in the fire. Beulah was sometimes accompanied by her two large German Shepherds, one white and one black.

No matter the version heard, the stories always caused the same reaction and gave locals a reason to drive by Beulah’s house at all hours of the night and day. These visitors would throw items into her yard and beep their horns in an attempt to get a glimpse of the witch.

Researching stories like these for anything factual is always challenging and this story is no different. There are no newspaper articles for the time period (Beulah was supposedly alive into the 1980s) claiming that anyone named Beulah was a witch.

There was an article, however, about two men who were arrested for harassing a retired school teacher who lived on McGregor and Weldon Roads. The 1973 article listed the elderly woman’s name as Marie Buskie and further research confirmed this as the identity of the woman who lived on McGregor road.

Marie Buskie was born on May 7, 1907 to parents Richard and Augusta Buskie. There would be two boys and three girls born into the family.

Marie was active in several clubs in high school and participated on the swim team. She showed interest in working with children as a teacher very early. The family was very involved in the Calvary Lutheran Church and Marie, like her sisters, would teach Sunday school there.

Marie and her sisters also appeared to be quite daring. In a newspaper article dated 1925, Marie and her sister, Lulu were attending college cours-

es in DeKalb when the girls and their roommates decided to walk home to Rockford. The roommates gave up after only a few miles but the girls made it all the way to Rockford. They accepted a few rides from “kind motorists” but the girls estimated they walked over 22 miles. It took them five and a half hours to get home. The sisters decided to take the train back down to school, claiming that they had already obtained a good deal of their gym credits for the year.

Marie taught in several Rockford schools after obtaining her degree, including Highland and Kishwaukee schools. She also continued her work with children through her church and during summers at supervised playgrounds.

Unlike her siblings who all married, Marie lived with her parents on Prairie Road until their deaths. Her mother died in 1949 and her father in 1958. Sometime in the early 1960s, she moved into the house on McGregor Road.

Though Marie dedicated her life to children, she never had any of her own.

Marie was 78 years old when she died on March 31, 1986 in Amberwood Care Center on Rockton Avenue.

The legend of “Beulah the Witch” will, no doubt continue. The real mystery might just be why this elderly woman, who spent her life caring for children, would become the target of such maliciousness in the first place and why this story would continue for decades.

Farming

Reaching beyond the backyard

By Emily Hanlin

Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau

Claretta Farms, the Mueller family’s dairy farm, has been in the capable hands of the Mueller family for more than 50 years.

Originally stationed in Peotone and then St. Charles, the Mueller dairy is now located in Garden Prairie.

Now, after four generations, Brent Mueller and his wife, Amber, and their children Samantha and Logan, are milking the registered Holstein herd and they have growth on their minds.

“Ever since we moved to Garden Prairie in 1995, we have been in expansion mode,” Mueller said. “We have added cows, added buildings and added grain facilities.”

Once Mueller turned 18, and became too old for 4-H, he joined the Illinois Farm Bureau. Since then, he also has served on the Winnebago-Boone County Farm Bureau Board of Directors.

“Besides a night away every month, the benefits of the Farm Bureau are good as far as keeping its members up to date on state and federal legislation and policies,” Mueller said.

“Since I’m on the board, I get the chance to know firsthand what is happening and we get the information right away and get to bring it back to other farmers in the area.”

Brent also is on the Mid-West Dairymen’s Board of Directors, a position he said he enjoys because it helps keep his fellow dairy producers well-informed.

“I get information firsthand,” Mueller said.

“Once I get the information, I give it to somebody else and get their feedback and go back and forth.”

For Mueller, one of the most important aspects of his family’s farm is the ‘open gate’ policy they keep with consumers and the public.

“Anyone can walk into my barn at any time and I know nothing is going to be going on that would give us a bad name,” Mueller said. “We need to be our own voices and invite people in.

I’m married to a teacher and they bring all of the kindergarteners out here and show them what we do. Those kids remember us and still have a connection to the farm. That sticks with them and I like being that voice to show people what is really going on.”

In the end, Mueller said he truly enjoys his profession and knows that he provides a service for his community by doing what he loves.

“I find joy in dairy farming because, in a way, every day is different,” Mueller said. “Sometimes you wake up and it’s six below and other days it could be fifty degrees. You never know. It’s mainly just a joy to see things grow.”

Home. Cooked.

GOODNESS.

Travel like an Architect

Spend time socializing

By Lynn and Rob Belles Independent Vacation Specialists

Talk with the people you meet. Be genuine and interested, and you will make lifelong friends on a global scale. When we travel we socialize, talk, listen and make new friends.

Our new friends may be hosts in a foreign port, other cruise passengers or cruise ship staff. We enjoy them all.

Starting eight years ago, Suzee made friends with Robbie - a young tablemate that was traveling with his parents. He now lives with them in China and any spring now we anticipate hearing which college he will be attending. On that same trip, Suzee and Max were the only two teenagers on the ship, hence they spent their days with Jessen the teen director. Jessen had been with Carnival for over 10 years. He is from the Philippines but now lives in Brighton, England. On this trip Suzee got to sit at the piano bar and sing songs with Greg Gallello of Canada. To this date, she is still the youngest person he has had at his piano bar.

Lynn and Rob have kept in touch with Robbie’s parents Debbie and Bob. She is a retired Air Force pilot, and he a retired UPS pilot. We get regular updates and invites to visit them in China. Lynn and Max’s mother, Carmen, chat regularly using Facebook messenger, and once in a while they even talk on the phone. Carmen’s English continues to improve - and is way better than Lynn’s Spanish. Twice a year Carmen encourages us to come visit them at their

home in San Salvadore. Max recently graduated from the University of Louisiana and lives in Baton Rouge.

This year, we reunited with Greg Gallello at his piano bar, where we met some very new (soon to be old) friends, all with a common interest in his music. We are now following, emailing and calling Maggie from the UK, Mary from Yellow Spring, Ohio (follow her blog at msteries.livejournal.com) and Caludette and Lisa from Toronto Canada.

Perhaps we will all meet in Grand Bend, OT one summer to hear Greg Gallello play in his home town.

With the help of the internet we have kept in touch with many friends. We have watched children grow into adults. We have seen homes being built. And we have followed each other in our travels. Always looking forward to when our paths will cross again. We are ever so grateful for the technology that is making our world so small. Through our global friendships we learn, we grow, we prosper.

Rob and Lynn Belles are owners of Belles Firm of Architecture a local professional design firm, and the only real Architect Travel Agents known of. They are seasoned travelers with family and adult only international travel experience.

They are teaching others what they know about traveling as a family, a couple, and as business owners who stay connected with their clients, even while they are traveling abroad.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of June 17-23, 2015

This Week: The new moon in Gemini arrives June 16 which allows us the opportunity to focus on new beginnings. This would be the most productive way to utilize this moon phase, however sometimes the new moon can cause us to feel extremely emotional, weepy or anxious. There is always so much emphasis on the full moon, nobody really looks at how complicated the new moon can be for us. Many of you pet owners/lovers out there may notice your four-legged friends behaving erratically, overly clingy or easily agitated. In the future, make note of how the new moon as well as the full moon affect your household. You may be surprised at the outcome. Saturn has bounced back into Scorpio for a little refresher course, while allowing Sagittarius to take a little breather throughout the summer months. Never fear Sagittarius, once Saturn takes up residence in your sign again you will be fully equipped to handle all of the opportunities and muscle mass Saturn will provide. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You need to put your fiery foot down hard now within your home life.

The pin the tail on the donkey game is up. Everyone is passing the buck with their responsibilities and you’re stuck trying to do it all. Then when you fall short the finger is pointing at you. Delegate your

authority and stick to your guns. If you need to kick someone to the curb to accomplish this so be it. Peace at any price Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Last minute travel plans may need to be tweaked to insure the best results. You have an opportunity to mix business with pleasure, so take advantage of this when the time arrives. A friend or family member may be challenged with a health issue that may have them feeling a little bit fearful. Show your emotional support and let them know that you have their back Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Choose your words very carefully and stay on task when it comes to communication, even if another is having a tantrum. This may be a fear based reaction to a childhood memory and they may have no idea where these feelings are coming from. Maintain your honor and dignity while allowing them to see your side of the story. We draw a lot more bees with honey than vinegar Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — This will prove to be a very lucky time frame especially with financial aspects. An unexpected windfall will occur now.

Your hard work and efforts are noticed by others as well as your talent. The media may take a shine to you at this time. A phone call from a friend or lover from the past will prove to be very enlightening Cancer Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Everything begins to slow down to a snails pace for a while midweek, so try not to panic. This is giving you the opportunity to rest and recover a bit from a health issue or an overbooked schedule. Romantic opportunities are becoming a focus at this time. Single Leos are in

a position to make new acquaintances. Attached Leos fall into a second honeymoon stage with their significant other.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A friend or romantic interest may call you on the carpet about your behavior. Count to ten before you lash out and try to take a good look at what they are trying to say. Maybe they are worried about your health and welfare. Don’t dismiss them until you’ve had the chance to digest their intentions. They may be trying to help you out. Your fuse can get quite short at times, try to lengthen it a bit this week Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Your worries about your personal life will become unfounded shortly.

The past has greatly affected the way you see your future unfolding. Innocent until proven guilty should become your motto at this time. Trust and be trustworthy and all will fall into place. Take a day off to get all of your annoying responsibilities out of the way. Once you feel caught up it’s easier to stay that way Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Slow down a bit here Scorpio. Although you should be patted on the back for your efforts and your work ethics, try not to overdo this week. Muscle pains or emotional discomfort may be something you will be working through at this time. The body and mind will heal simultaneously. They connect on very powerful levels. Take time out to get together with a friend for a meal. Relax and enjoy some down time Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You will be watching the motives of another very closely at this time. Someone is preparing to fall short of their responsibilities and allow you to pick up the slack.

You will need to set a boundary with this person immediately, otherwise the inmates will take over the prison. Put an end to ugly gossip that is flying around the neighborhood or workplace at this time.

You will be held in high regard if you do Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Busy schedules have not permitted you to connect with friends or family as you would wish to until now. It almost appears as though you may feel a bit estranged from loved ones this week. Try not to take the behaviors of others personal now.

As information is revealed you will find that those around you have been overwhelmed with emotional issues. Perhaps they were trying not to burden you with these aspects Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Romance and finance are the main course this week providing you with plenty of wells to draw from at this time.

You’re making some physical changes that will affect your emotional status in a positive light.

Now would be a good time to leave some bad habits behind for good. Not only will this improve your health and outlook, this will also fatten up your wallet Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Once you make the decision to change residence or a career path, stick to it. Change is not an easy element to deal with. The unknown always kicks up some fear and reservations. But you need to break free of the stagnation that’s been bringing you down. Even your loved ones will encourage you to take a leap of faith.

Go for it Pisces.

Prairie Street Brewhouse: d Story and Photos By Jon McGinty

A

fter almost 15 years of renovation and repair, the Prairie Street Brewhouse at 200 Prairie Street in Rockford is finally complete. Just this past spring, Rockford Brewing Company, the building’s major tenant, opened two new event spaces—the Petritz Board Room and the Peacock Room—bringing to eight the number of event spaces for rent in the beautifully restored and historic five-story building.

“We can accommodate groups as small as a corporate meeting or as large as a big wedding reception, with various sizes in between,” says Chris Manuel, Vice-President of Rockford Brewing Company and Prairie Street Brewhouse Events.

According to Manuel, about 12,000 square feet of the building’s 85,000 square feet is devoted to such rentable space. The rest includes 10 loft apartments, four offices, a kitchen and two tap room/restaurants. Their next addition will be another kitchen to accommodate their growing catering business. A handful of boat slips and two luxury apartments, featuring panoramic river and city views from the building’s roof-top decks, remain available to lease.

Manuel and partners Dustin Koch and Reed Shostrom formed the Rockford Brewing Company in 2013 and opened the 15-barrel hand-crafted brewery and restaurant the follow-

ing year. The Brewhouse has rapidly become one of downtown Rockford’s fastest-growing destination hot spots, especially since they started Dinner on the Dock in 2011.

Every Thursday evening May through August, from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m., patrons can enjoy live music performed outside (in good weather) as they dine on a “backyard buffet” menu along the Rock River. Large docks allow diners to tie up their boats and attend the festivities. A regular movie series, Brews and Views, will return this September.

“Dustin and I grew up along the Rock River,” says Manuel, “and got our boating licenses as teenagers. Bringing food and entertainment to a riverside location was a ‘no-brainer’ for us.”

Brewhouse History

T

he history of brewing beer at the Prairie Street location began in 1849, when Englishman Jonathan Peacock bought a home on Prairie Street and started what he called the Rockford Brewery. In 1857, he constructed the first building at the present site, using artesian wells for water, winter river ice for refrigeration in the summer, and access to the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad for transporting his product.

The company was bought by Croatian immi-

Chris Manuel, VP of the Rockford Brewing Company and the Prairie Street Brewhouse: “Bringing food and entertainment to a riverside location was a ‘no-brainer.’”

downtown’s new landmark

The Brewhouse’s new Dockstide Taproom opened earlier this year. Providing a relaxed atmosphere in the building’s lower level, the Taproom features beers from both Prairie Street and other Midwest breweries as well as TVs, dartboards and pinball.

grant John Petritz in 1899, and he erected the five-story brick-and-stone building which still stands. He also changed the name to Rockford Brewing Company.

At the height of production in 1909, Petritz produced 75,000 barrels of beer in one year. Prohibition came in 1917, and Petritz was shut down after trying to produce beer. By 1919, the company became the Rockford Storage Warehouses. After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Petritz’s son reopened the business as Petritz Brewery. Under new ownership, it became a cold storage locker in 1934, then the Rock River Brewing Company in 1937. All brewing activity ceased in 1939.

The building was a storage warehouse and automated laundry facility in 1945, washing the bed linens of Chicago and Milwaukee hotels for several years before becoming vacant. The building’s present owners, the Koch family, obtained the property in 2000, and operated the Rockford Marina there until 2004. Since then it has housed a woodworking shop, a photo studio and a t-shirt decorating plant, among other uses. Loyd and Diane Koch’s family began serious renovation and restoration work in 2009, in

conjunction with architect Gary Anderson, bringing it to its present multiuse condition and historic preservation. But it seems to also have become one of those “well-kept secrets” of downtown Rockford.

“I still meet people who don’t know we are open for lunch and dinner here seven days a week,” comments Manuel. “Our restaurant and events menus offer everything from fine dining to burgers and cheese curds, and our catering business has grown ten-fold in the last year.”

During last winter, the Brewery collaborated with downtown arts groups to show family-friendly movies once a month. This summer they provide beer and food at several other venues: Music in the Parks at the Sinnissippi Band Shell every Tuesday and Thursday evenings; Wednesday evenings at the Nicholson Conservatory’s Tunes on the Terrace; and Fridays at the City Market dinner cruises on the Forest City Queen.

Brewhouse hours are: Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Thursdays, 11 a.m. to midnight; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, view their website at rockfordbrewingco.com.

Youth Sports

Video tech can help prevent injuries to pitchers

By Sakiko Oyama TheConversation.com

These days, it seems like elbow surgery for pitchers is a rite of passage.

Whether it’s stars like Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez or lesser-known players like Colorado Rockies reliever Adam Ottavino, the number of pitchers going under the knife to correct torn elbow ligaments – so-called Tommy John surgery – continues to rise.

To date, 988 of these procedures have been performed. But in recent years, numbers have skyrocketed. Today, 25 percent of major league pitchers have had the procedure done, while 40 percent of all Tommy John surgeries are being performed on adolescent ballplayers.

In order to better understand this trend, it’s important to look at when most professional players began playing the game: as kids.

It’s become increasingly common among youth sport participants to specialize in a sport at a young age. For baseball players, this means picking a position and sticking to it. And if you’ve decided to be a pitcher, it means putting added mileage on the bones and ligaments of a developing arm.

As the numbers show, many are paying the price with surgery down the road. But this is far from inevitable; existing research – along with recent research I conducted with colleagues – presents simple techniques and practices that could help young pitchers avoid injury.

The stress of throwing

While pitching is a whole-body movement, most of the injuries in pitchers take place at the shoulder and elbow joints. This happens because during a pitcher’s stride, the momentum produced by the powerful muscles in the legs and trunk is funneled to the throwing arm.

The momentum transferred to the arm causes the arm to rotate backwards – to the point where the forearm becomes near or past parallel to the ground – and then rotate forward in a whip-like motion.

Accordingly, the pitching movement creates a great amount of stress on bones, ligaments, capsules and muscles that make up shoulder and elbow joints, and any of these structures can become damaged. The surface of the bone (the cartilage) may become worn out, growth plates may become damaged, and ligaments and muscles may weaken or tear. Youth pitchers are susceptible to growth plate injuries since their growth plates are still open.

Pitchers’ joints experience constant stress over the course of games, seasons and years of playing. For this reason, it’s not uncommon to see pitchers with damage to the cartilage, growth plate or tendons even when they’re not experiencing any joint pain.

As the innings add up, the arm wears down.

Research shows that pitchers who pitch more than

100 innings over the course of a year and pitchers who pitch in multiple leagues at the same time have higher risk of injury. In addition, throwing with a fatigued arm, playing baseball year-round, and pitching for traveling teams and in showcase tournaments are all linked to arm injuries.

There’s also been more heightened awareness of arm injuries in the medical community, which has led to more diagnoses. Injuries that used to be considered general joint pain and soreness are now being correctly identified as injuries.

Pitching smart

While some level of deterioration is impossible to avoid, recent research has identified a number of ways young pitchers can improve their chances of avoiding major injuries that require surgery, which can sideline pitchers for over a year.

To protect a young pitcher’s arm, there are three important things to keep in mind: nProper care of the throwing arm nAdequate rest between pitching appearances

A focus on good pitching technique

Pitch Smart, a website developed by Major League Baseball, offers recommendations for pitchers of differing ages. Throwing too many pitches without adequate rest will gradually weaken the throwing arm, making it more susceptible to injury.

For this reason, the site suggests following pitch counts and rest period guidelines to avoid over-pitching. And because it’s been documented that a pitcher’s arm loses strength and flexibility after pitching in a game, it’s important to do exercises to keep the arm strong and joints flexible throughout the season.

Focusing on good technique – and not compromising technique for speed, especially as the pitchers start to get tired – is also very important.

For example, the Pitch Smart site discourages the use of radar gun for young pitchers, as it can shift their focus from technique to ball speed.

But employing good technique is easier said than done. This is because there’s no real consensus on what “good technique” should look like.

“Good technique” is often defined by anecdotal evidence and coaching philosophies, but there’s not enough scientific evidence to support many claims. Some even contradict themselves.

For example, some coaches say having arms in an “inverted W” position during the stride is good, because having the arms in a mirror image helps to maintain balance, while some say this arm position causes a delay in arm movement, which can add stress on the joints. (A recent study found that this “inverted W” position is not associated with risk of surgery in Major League baseball players.)

Another issue is that some movements during pitching that are linked to higher joint loading (such as the angle of a pitcher’s elbow) are difficult to discern with the naked eye – and even video cameras.

Looking at the lean

For this reason, my colleagues and I wondered if there were certain unknown “tells” in the pitching motion that could indicate increased – and unnecessary – joint loading.

In our recent research, we focused on pitchers’ trunk movement pattern that can be identified using video recordings, and studied whether the movement pattern is linked to increased joint loading. Specifically, we looked at pitchers who lean too far to the side when pitching. While it’s normal for pitchers to lean to the side when pitching, leaning too far is anecdotally considered “faulty” technique.

Comparing the joint loading between pitchers who lean too much with those who didn’t, we found that pitchers who lean too much achieved higher ball speed but also experienced approximately 10 percent higher stress loads on their shoulder and elbow joints. We also found that pitchers who failed to keep their head balanced over the feet (ie, leaned back) and planted their

foot across their body were much more likely to lean too far during pitching.

Another study has shown that opening up the shoulders to the hitter too early could increase joint loading.

It’s likely that advancements in video camera technology will reveal more movement patterns that increase stress on the joints. Identifying these patterns will help us better understand what a “good technique” is, and help us prevent injuries in baseball pitchers, young and old.

Cubs roller coaster season continues

FBI probes Cardinals over stolen Astros data

By Nick Schaefer Contributor

T

he New York Times threw a big ol’ rock at the social media hive on Tuesday when it broke the news that the FBI was investigating the St. Louis Cardinals for cyber-espionage against the Houston Astros.

The short version goes as follows: Current Astros GM Jeff Luhnow used to work as the Assistant GM with the Cardinals. When Luhnow began with the Astros, they built a database where they would keep their proprietary information presumably this would consist of statistics, data, and scouting reports, etc. that they developed internally. Apparently, Luhnow used the same passwords for this database as were used during his time in St. Louis.

In other words, the Cardinals stole Jeff Luhnow’s car – but they were able to do it because the Astros left the keys in the ignition.

It is difficult to say what sort of competitive advantage St. Louis may or may not have accrued as a result of this fiasco. The Cardinals were very successful before this happened and have been very successful since. If they simply had some more defensive metrics to put alongside their own, for example, the impact may have been negligible.

Or, perhaps they were able to essentially double their pre-draft scouting information, which would be a huge boon. It’s also unclear what level of the St. Louis organization participated or directed the cyber-infiltration. As of now, the Cardinals have basically only said, “No comment.”

The news is shocking from many different per-

Timeline

hire Jeff Luhnow as 2011 Astros General Manager.

Luhnow spearheads “Ground 2012 Control,” the Astros in-house data collection and analytics system.

A June 30 report on Deadspin 2014 shows that information culled from the Astros system has been posted anonymously online.

The FBI and DOJ announce Tues. an investigation into members of the Cardinals front-office over

spectives. MLB has historically functioned more as a cabal of owners working largely in concert.

For all that the various organizations compete on the field and try to act in their own best interest, you don’t usually see this sort of attack from one front office to another. Besides, there’s no sense in alienating another organization that you may want in your corner for voting purposes or for future trades. What’s more, the news came out of nowhere: the Astros haven’t been in the Cardinals’ division for several years now – theoretically the Cardinals-Astros rivalry was only going to diminish into the realm of Historical Footnote as time went on.

From another angle, the story is delicious in its irony – the Cardinals have been the subject of some ridicule as they have made every effort to hold themselves up as beacons of propriety in recent memory. Here, they may have been caught

red-handed in Nixon-like fashion trying to steal information from a less successful competitor.

Similarly, the Astros have been the subject of minor controversies as they have adopted an extremely analytics-oriented front office, going scorched earth with their rebuild. They have drawn attention for attempting to execute bold draft strategies that sometimes work, and sometimes blow up in their face. Here, we have the Model Front Office of Modern Analytics using the same security for their intellectual property as some guy in 1998 signing up with AOL from a CD in the mail.

In the end, what makes the story so compelling is the novelty and the uncertainty of what is to come. It is a blank canvas for wild speculation as there isn’t a whole lot of precedent on point. In the time line of the sport, proprietary digital data is an extremely recent development. Social media commentators have attempted to make links between the recent Patriots scandal and this incident, but the shoe doesn’t quite fit on that analogy. This isn’t the traditional Messing With Equipment To Get An Advantage On The Field scenario that has played out since time immemorial. Rather, this is an off-the-field cyber attack in order to get an advantage on the field – or, as some have speculated, acting out on grudges against Luhnow that developed when he was still with the Cardinals.

People may go to jail. The most successful front office in recent memory may wind up dismantled.

It is unclear what the precise fallout will be, but it has devastating potential.

On Twitter: @Nick_TCS

nother week for the Cubs, another roller coaster ride reflective of this season already filled with ups and downs, excitement and heavily guarded optimism. Splitting the week’s six games against Detroit and Cincinnati kept the Cubs treading water to a certain extent but a pair of walk-off wins to wrap up the stretch soothed the sting of last Tuesday’s 6-0 loss, only the fourth time they’ve been shut out so far this season.

The back-to-back walk-offs, giving Chicago eight such wins so far this season, were both sealed by clutch base hits by shortstop Starlin Castro. The eight wins gives the Cubs the most in the majors by a far sight, as well as twelve wins in their final at-bat. Numbers like these support manager Joe Maddon’s confident talk about making a serious postseason run despite the youth of the team.

Castro is one of three Cub infielders with a shot at a starting berth in next month’s MLB All-Star Game, to be held at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park. As of MLB’s latest tallies, Castro sits in fourth place at shortstop (St. Louis’s Jhonny Peralta currently leads), first baseman Anthony Rizzo is in fourth as well (Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt) and standout rookie Kris Bryant only follows Cardinal Matt Carpenter in third base voting, despite not being on the major-league roster for the first two weeks of the season.

Besides the continued offensive success of Bryant (currently riding an 11-game hitting streak, his second 10-plus stretch of the season) and Rizzo and Castro’s late-inning heroics, veteran outfielder Chris Coghlan has joined the attack, hitting .370 and slugging .543 since the start of June.

On the other side of the ball, the pitching has started to solidify, as the bullpen has been nearly untouchable over the past three weeks. The bullpen as a whole has posted a 1.54 ERA over the last 64 innings and has held batters to a .183 batting average against through that span. Jason Motte, who has been a big part of the pen’s resurgence, has turned in 12 straight scoreless outings, capped by pitching out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth on Sunday to put the team in position for the second act of Castro’s winning weekend.

Someone who won’t be in the All-Star Game is catcher Kyle Schwarber. After tearing up AA pitching in the first two months of the season, Schwarber was given the call to bring his bat to Cleveland and Detroit to serve as the team’s designated hitter and get a taste of the bigs during the five-game interleague trip.

Stanley Cup

This one may mean the most to the Blackhawks

By Adam Hess

‘This season would be different. It had to be, and it had the feel that it would be. From preseason to playoffs, we knew that this team would be special.’

Second City Hockey

P

ut aside the talks of dynasty. Ignore the five Western Conference Finals in seven years and three Stanley Cups in six years.

Ignore the upcoming cap crunch that will surely see some major changes. For a moment, I want to talk about these Blackhawks, the 2014-15 edition, that quite honestly might be my favorite group of them all.

It starts with the way last year ended. After going down 3-1 to the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Final, the Blackhawks battled back to tie the series at 3-3. The series came down to little more than a crap shoot, with Game 7 going to overtime. It was a well contested OT, and then on a innocent little play, it was over. Nick Leddy got hit by a shot that squeezed through his armpit and over Corey Crawford.

Nothing either could do. Unfair and unjust, the Hawks were done.

This season would be different. It had to be, and it had the feel that it would be. From preseason to playoffs, we knew that this team would be special. After the Kings won last year’s Stanley Cup, the Blackhawks were instantly named the odds-on favorite to win it this year. The additions of Brad Richards, Antoine Vermette, and Teuvo Teravainen along the way helped to solidify these Blackhawks as a Cup favorite, even after earning only the three seed in the tough Central Division when the regular season came to a close.

They battled through a playoffs where at almost every turn there were doubters waiting to see them fall from grace. Pekka Rinne was supposed to be unsolvable. The Minnesota Wild were too hot to lose. The Anaheim Ducks were too physical for the shallow Chicago blue line.

The Tampa Bay Lightning were waiting in the wings to become the next Blackhawks. All of them presented obstacles to these Blackhawks, yet none could stop them.

But more so than the tough playoff grind, what impressed me and endeared me most to

this edition of the Blackhawks was the way they battled through one of the hardest regular seasons any team faced in the NHL this year. Not in competition or schedule, which are ideally equal across the board, but in the off-the-ice world, where they’re not hockey players, but human beings with family and friends.

In the early part of the season, defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk suffered a broken kneecap, effectively ending what had been a strong and promising rookie season to that point. In November, Patrick Sharp suffered a leg injury that kept him out for a month. At the Winter Classic, Kris Versteeg saw what was a solid season to that point come to halt due to a broken hand. In February, Patrick Kane suffered a broken clavicle and was told he’d miss three months. All impacting the players and team in different ways, creating doubt in this group and presenting reason for shaken hopes. But in the end, the injuries didn’t matter.

Van Riemsdyk returned and made four appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. Sharp played a key role on one of the Blackhawks best lines this postseason alongside Vermette and Teravainen.

Versteeg came up big in Games 5 and 6 against Tampa Bay. Patrick Kane returned for the beginning of the playoffs, and, well, was Patrick Kane.

But more than injuries to the body, it was injuries and shots to the heart that perhaps took the greatest toll on this team.

These Blackhawks struggled through the deaths of two close friends in equipment manager Clint Reif and former teammate Steve Monta-

dor, both of which came under unfortunate and trying circumstances. I’ve never experienced something as jarring as a friend taking their own life, but I imagine there’s a great load of grief and guilt involved, especially when you’re around that person every day. You wonder if there’s more you could’ve done. You miss that presence in the room. And not just that, but at that time of Reif ’s death, the team was being followed around by camera crews recording EPIX’s Road to the Winter Classic. Grief on full display for the world to see.

Then, near the trade deadline, rumors began to swirl again about unrest in the locker room due to infidelities and issues off the ice. A public relations lose-lose situation for the team, as if you cop to it being true, you’re only feeding the monster, and if you deny it, people will just chalk it up as a common denial. “What else are they supposed to say?”

Then there was Monday’s heartbreaking news on the unfortunate state of one of the greatest men to don the Four Feathers, Stan Mikita. Suffering from dementia and possible CTE, Mikita has been in poor health at a Chicago facility since January. His memory of his incredible NHL career is gone. His family described him as a shell of himself.

Horrible and unfair events that certainly jarred them as humans, but somehow they needed to put that aside for 60 minutes a night and act like they’re nothing more than hockey players. And as time wore on, as they became more removed from the immediacy of those events, I’m sure that got a bit easier for them to do. But I don’t doubt that it stuck with them, and I’d bet my last dollar that they had Clint, Steve, Stan and their families on their mind as they hoisted that Cup above their heads and skated it around the

ice in front of a raucous crowd.

The Cup runs of 2010 and 2013 were fun and exciting. The first time was all about this young core finally showing what they were about, and that they would be here to stay. The second time was a return to that level after two years of a bit of reloading. This time, the Cup shows that this group is among the best, most resilient teams the NHL–or any sport, really–has ever seen.

But this team was about more than solidifying a dynasty or asserting dominance. This group was about standing toe to toe with adversity and heartbreak, and rather than letting it cause an implosion, using it as inspiration. And that’s what makes this group so special. This is more than a Cup. This is closure.

Thank you, 2014-15 Chicago Blackhawks, for a season I’ll never forget.
