Housing Project

RHA still has questions to answer

Special Report

Teetering on the Edge

By John Guevara Winnebago County Board District 19

I

haven’t said much about the South New Towne development. I believe public housing is an important part of helping people when the chips are down. My difficulty with publicly funded housing, is the same difficulty I have with social benefit at large. Government is good at providing assistance. It isn’t good at building a system that helps people move from assistance to independence.

Much has been made of the resolution the County Board passed opposing the South New Towne project. I voted for it. I voted for it because I’m convinced that the project needed to be discussed by the community at large, that a voice needed to be heard saying, “We will not accept anything less than an open, candid discussion of why here, why now, what it means and what the plan is.” I heard no answers to any of these questions until after the resolution passed. So in getting a community conversation started, I believe the resolution was a success.

I must say I’ve been surprised by the conversation’s tone. Why is it wrong to ask for an impact study detailing what people can reasonably expect of the South New Towne project? Why is it wrong to ask what the community plan is based on the impact study?

Asking these questions doesn’t mean that I expect an increase in crime should South New Towne move forward. Asking these questions doesn’t imply anything about public housing in general or Fairgrounds in particular. Asking these questions doesn’t make me racist, an accusation to which I am sensitive as one who has experienced private and institutional racism.

I think the only way to be comfortable with this project is to know what it is, what it means, and how we can make it successful. For me, as a resident, a citizen and a representative in our community to be comfortable with the project I would need to know its details, the impact it will have, and the plan for success.

So far I’ve heard an extensive explanation of the first point. The attitude on the last two has been that I must have some prejudice against public housing or harbor racism in my heart to even consider asking for such information. I will remain opposed to the project until the information on the last two are made public. Call it what you want–I believe it’s the right thing to do.

The Condon-Shumway Building at the corner of Cedar and Rockton is a target for planned historical redevelopment projects.

Tax credits for development under the knife in budget showdown

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

A state program that has provided crucial funds to redevelopment projects in Rockford is possibly set to be a casualty of the ongoing budget showdown in Springfield.

The River Edge Redevelopment Zone (RERZ), legislation providing tax credits for historical redevelopment in five Illinois cities including Rockford, is caught up in the mix as Governor Bruce Rauner (R) and Speaker of the House Mike Madigan (D, Chicago) drive the state closer to a shutdown with fiscal year 2016 less than a week away.

Landmarks Illinois says RERZ projects have brought over $120 million in private investment

‘If we don’t have everyone on board saying this has to happen that could be trouble. This area is one that’s standing on the point of a pin.’

-Winnebago County Board member John Guevara

to projects in Rockford since 2006. Currently, the Condon-Shumway Building on Cedar Street and expansions of the East Rockford Historic District have projects in works that plan to utilize the RERZ program.

“This is a tool that doesn’t cost the state any money,” State Senator Steve Stadelman (D, Rockford) told The Rock River Times Tuesday. “It’s been the one economic development tool we’ve had in this area and it’s important to have it on the table moving forward.”

President’s free trade deal advances in the Senate

By Alice Ollstein ThinkProgress.org

On Tuesday, the Senate voted 60 to 37 to advance a controversial bill to give the president fast-track authority on international free trade agreements, including the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership between the U.S. and 11 other countries across Latin America and Asia.

An unusual coalition of establishment Democrats like Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Republicans like Marco Rubio (R-FL) formed to support the bill — with progressives like Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tea Party Republicans like Ted Cruz (R-TX) standing in opposition.

Just before the vote, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the bill would help “knock down unfair barriers that discriminate against American workers” and that failing to pass the measure would be “ceding the future… to Chinese aggression.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who rarely sides with McConnell, agreed, touting the “economic potential” of the increased U.S. exports he promised the eventual trade deal would create.

But a revolt from the Senate’s Tea Party wing, led by Texas Republican and presidential candidate Ted Cruz rallied lawmakers to oppose the the effort. Though Cruz was silent during the Senate debate on the bill Tuesday, he called the plan “corporate welfare, cronyism and corrupt dealmaking” in an op-ed, and cited “serious

concerns that it would open up the potential for sweeping changes in our laws that trade agreements typically do not include.”

Though the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) remains secret, inaccessible to the public and even members of Congress, sections of the agreement released by Wikileaks mirror past trade

agreements in that they allow member countries to sue each other in international courts for passing laws protecting the environment, food safety, or open access to the Internet.

Moments after the bill passed on Tuesday, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) angrily called it “a day of celebration in the corporate suites in this country.”

“People will lose jobs because of decisions we are making today,” he said, citing the tens of thousands of jobs that left Ohio following past free trade agreements. “We’re going to inflict pain on these workers. It’s shameful to ignore them.

What a betrayal.”

Brown said he was especially frustrated that the Senate had revoked its promise to tie together the fast-track bill with Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), a program to support and retrain American workers who lose their jobs because of the increased global competition from freer trade.

Though the Senate will hold a vote TAA later this week, it will follow a final voting on giving the president fast-track authority. Brown and others worry that without the political pressure, the funding for displaced workers will not pass. Remarks

by Senate Republicans, including Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), stoked those fears. Hatch called the program “redundant and ineffective” and said of the workers set to lose their jobs to outsourcing, “Even those who encounter temporary setbacks can find new opportunities.”

“It’s clear free trade creates winners and losers,” Brown shot back. “Now, we’ve gotten the worst of both words. We’re passing [fast-track] without knowing what’s in TPP. We’re giving up the leverage we have as we’re kept in the dark. That’s why there’s anger in this country. That’s why so many in my state are asking, ‘Why are you moving so fast? Why don’t we know more about this process?’”

Energy & Environment

Climate change – will appropriate solutions be implemented?

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

he EPA Clean Power Plan is seen

by Jonas Monsat as having shifted the debate from whether to regulate carbon emissions from power plants to how to regulate them. While federal authority to regulate carbon exists, how it will be done is left in the hands of individual states. Illinois must produce a plan; federal guidelines suggest efficiency, renewable energy and nuclear power are likely to play major roles within it.

Protecting the earth’s climate from adverse impacts of carbon releases has been described as the world’s most pressing environmental problem but efforts to reduce them to a climate safe level have not been implemented.

The problem is well documented in the scientific literature but actions have been thwarted by selected financial interests, corporations and government officials.

A moral dimension has just been injected

by Pope Francis’ encyclical calling for global solutions to climate change along with questioning the foundations of society that has created wealth for some at the expense of others and the planet. The global economy is seen as profiting at the environment’s expense. He called for replacing fossil fuels with wind, solar and energy efficiency.

The rich countries must make deep cuts in carbon emissions and help finance the transition to renewable energy in poorer countries. The only way out of the problem is to stop burning oil, gas and coal.

New global trade deals are seen by some as effectively undoing many efforts which have gone into making the world cleaner, safer, and more sustainable. Of current interest is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Treaty between the United States and Europe. It is aimed at reducing

trade barriers between the two blocks and is expected to have a major impact on our economy, businesses and society.

The EU has banned administering growth hormones to cattle or pigs and washing chickens and turkey meat with chlorine dioxide.

They also ban growing genetically modified grain. The rules are based on the precautionary principle – that those interests seeking to sell a product must demonstrate it does not threaten consumer health.

In the US the burden of proof rests with

the public – as long as it has not been proven that certain chemicals, pesticides or production methods are harmful they remain permissible. In the case of fracking for oil and gas, existing environmental laws were excluded from being applied.

Both the EU and the US have expressed interest in increasing the sale of oil and gas from fracking operations. Depending on the outcome of the negotiations, fracking bans in New York, France and other locations might be considered as interfering with free trade and potential profits.

We know little about the ongoing negotiations as they are kept secret and members of Congress have only limited, restricted access to the documents. However, the agreements are the result of global corporate interests who have been involved in their development.

Of grave concern is that these secret trade deals undermine democratic processes and can serve to override the laws enacted by our legislators. Any violations of the treaty agreements are subject to arbitration by industry representatives. If a country is found in violation of the agreements, the guilty country could be fined to compensate for the losses incurred.

So the question remains – will appropriate solutions to climate change be implemented?

Farming

Fighting insects and pests on your cucurbits

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

As discussed last week in introducing cucurbits, there are some insect pests and diseases that this plant family is targeted by. All of these insects feed on the leaves, stem, and even fruit. They also tend to target all members of the cucurbit family. Today I’ll focus on three insect pests: striped/spotted cucumber beetles, squash vine borer, and squash bug.

Striped/spotted cucumber beetles are small, yellow/green beetles that have spots or stripes in their adult form. While called cucumber beetles, they can attack many cucurbits. These beetles can also vector the pathogen that causes Bacterial Wilt in their mouths. They are notorious for hiding all over the plant including the blossoms. Controlling cucumber beetles can be laborious as there can be large populations on your plants. Because the beetles like the color of the cucurbit flowers, some growers will trap them with yellow/orange sticky traps.

Squash vine borer is a reddish moth that “bores” into the stem of the plant and lays its eggs. The entry point at the base of the plant

SOUTH BELOIT ROCKTON ROSCOE ROCKTON TOWNSHIP

will appear to look like saw dust. Once the eggs hatch, the juvenile form is a fat, cream colored worm that will eat inside the plant stem. If your plant starts to show wilt conditions, it may be caused by a juvenile eating.

Some growers will try to remove the juveniles by cutting into the stem and then wrapping electrical tape around the hole. This can be a good solution but there may be more than one juvenile in the plant. Mulching around cucurbits can block the stem of the plant from the squash vine borer.

Squash bug looks very similar to other stink bugs. The juveniles are a small, grayish form of the adult. Like cucumber beetles, they also tend to hide around the plant including dead leaves. Squash bugs cause damage by removing plant sap. Because of the size of adult squash bugs, you may be able to handpick them. You also want to look under leaves for their red eggs to remove.

Keep an eye out for these insect pests.

If these become hard to control, chemical solutions are available. As always, catching them early on can ensure that you still have successful plant growth and yield.

Market volatility more perception than reality

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – When grain and other commodity prices experienced explosive episodes between 2004 and 2013, the finger pointed toward index traders as the cause. University of Illinois researchers identified and date-stamped both upward and downward price bubbles for grain during that time period. They found that not only were index traders not to blame but that the bubbles didn’t last nearly as long as many thought they did.

“To an economist, a bubble is a period when the price is either above or below its true economic fundamental value, which is determined by the market,” explained U of I agricultural economist Scott Irwin. “During those nine years, we experienced painful increases in gasoline prices that were actually justified by the market fundamentals; there was just too much demand relative to supply, and price had to allocate.

“The controversy that began to surface was that index traders in commodity futures markets were charged with overwhelming the normal supply and demand in the markets and causing prices to dramatically spike upward. The argument was being made repeatedly to Congress and regulatory bodies that crude oil prices were as much as 50 percent overvalued,” Irwin said.

Grain prices were also at record highs, particularly from 2007 to 2008—spring wheat was $25 per bushel and corn soared to the unheard-of level of $8 per bushel.

The researchers used a new test to determine when a bubble started and when it ended. They found that the massive price spikes in crude oil and grain didn’t line up with the bubbles they detected.

“When crude oil prices were spiking in the spring of 2008, for example, when we had that incredible run-up in wheat prices, we didn’t find a single day of bubbles,” Irwin said. “Bubbles in the grain markets occurred more often during the second half of the year rather than from February to May, which could correspond to periods of production problems. By our test, the prices were increasing dramatically (take corn prices up from $4 to $8 per bushel) but the move was not a bubble.”

The longest bubble lasted only 17 to 18 business days. To investors, 18 days may

Advertise in TRRT: 815.964.9767 or email ads@rockrivertimes.com

seem like a long time, but when put in perspective, over the nine-year span of the study, bubbles occurred 2 percent of the time.

“Some may think that during price spikes the markets are excessively speculative, excessively volatile, or excessively hysterical,” Irwin said. “People see a big price spike and then a rapid drop-off in price and call that a bubble without realizing that it was absolutely necessary to equilibrate supply and demand. This study says that there are some hiccups but overall the market is doing a very good job of accessing and getting the price right.”

Irwin said he hopes that objective evidence like this could lead to more rational understanding of what’s going on in the commodity markets, but he’s not particularly optimistic.

According to Irwin, 99 percent of the conversations people have about market fluctuations are about the dramatic upward price spikes. In reality, when the researchers did find bubble behavior, about one-third of them were downward in price.

Another important implication of this research is on speculation, Irwin said. “The new index investors are a new version of speculator. These investors have a lot of money, and they can hit the market in waves, so there is potential for excess price pressure.

However, commodity futures markets are not the type of market one would suspect of being highly susceptible to price bubbles in the first place.

Irwin used the housing market in 2006 as a counter-example. “This is a market with slow turnover, and it is hard to short the market if you think it is overvalued,” he said. “This was compounded by cheap credit and something of a social mania. But in this study there is really limited evidence that speculation was harming producers or consumers of grains.”

Irwin said the data in this shorter nineyear time period is very representative of long-term results. He referred to another study that looked at 40 years of grain market data, beginning in 1970.

“The last comparable boom in prices was 1973 to 1976-77,” he said. “We actually found evidence of more bubble behavior way back then, than we do now.”

Vibe Entertainment Rockford Rocked catches up with Michael Banks

By Todd Houston Special to TRRT

RRI: You and your bands The Rude Boys and Robin Banks were a big part of the early ‘80s music scene here in Rockford, IL. Before we get ahead of ourselves first tell us how and why you got into music in the first place.

MB: My dad was a singer and guitar player. I grew up listening to him and naturally wanted to follow in his footsteps. I was also influenced by arguably the best bands and era of music of all time, up to this point in time and I wanted to be like them.

RRI: Where were the best clubs to play at when you first started playing out live?

MB: CJ’s Lounge, Great Illinois Purchase, Prairie Moon, Off Broadway, Plaza Suite and later Park Place. Let’s not forget about Beloit, which was a good outlet for us, starting with Sgt. Peppers and the Pier!

RRI: I recall seeing Robin Banks perform at the annual Mother’s Day concert (Rockford Speedway) in front of a huge crowd! Do you remember anything about that particular show?

MB: I honestly don’t remember much about that show except that my dad was there, right up front, which was a rare thing! It was a great crowd and a beautiful sunny day, I do remember that much. I believe the headliner was Art in America.

RRI: A short time ago I spoke with Brent Alberts (former Y95 Program Director) about the good old days of Rockford radio. He told me that he was involved with managing Robin Banks early on and mentioned that you guys did a video for the WYFE Y95 Radio Vision show. What was that like?

MB: We did three Radio Vision videos, two with the original Robin’ Banks lineup. It was

a blast! For all three videos we performed original tunes. Brent was always a great help to Robin’ Banks and to other bands in our music community as well.

RRI: More recently you were involved in a project with Rick Pemperton. Reports say that you gave the mic up to Holland Zander.

Thoughts?”

MB: I was the original singer and one of the founding members of the Sensations. It was really cool to work with Rick, he is a great guitar player and a nice guy. When I stepped out, the band got better when Holland stepped in. She has the talent, energy and “essence” the band needed to move forward. Great band!

RRI: Rumor has it that one of your former bands had all their equipment stolen at one

point! Did you ever recover anything?

MB: This goes way back to the Arctic Waste Band. The thieves chiseled through the brick to gain entry and robbed us blind. It was honestly heart breaking for all of us.

RRI: Please elaborate on the following if you would: Superstring Studios.

MB: I built a pro-audio recording studio called Superstring Studios. I did the best I could with the design, outboard gear and mic collection. I have been tracking a few local and regional bands, as my time allows, pro bono.

The studio allows me to stay active in music and to support and enjoy the creativity of others, which is really cool! The studio keeps me creative as well.

RRI: Harley Davidson motorcycles.

MB: I don’t know much about Harley Davidson motorcycles although I do own a Road King. I don’t consider myself a biker. I am a musician with a motorcycle. Motor Bikin’!

RRI: David Spencer (local musician).

MB: David (Davey Love) has to be one of the coolest guys in this town and he is a nice guy! That’s a unique combo!

RRI: The Great Illinois Purchase (former Rockford club).

MB: What a live music club should be! The constant stench of stale beer and cigarettes and a really cool stage that had a trampoline effect! You could bounce all over the place…I loved it! The dressing rooms were pure Rock & Roll, painted flat black and seedy to the core!

RRI: Off Broadway (band).

MB: One of my favorite bar bands of all time right up there with Cheap Trick! I have both of their discs in my car right now.

RRI: Where can we go to hear new music from Michael Banks?

MB: I have been working on a new record, although I am not ready to release anything to the public, yet…maybe this fall. When I do it will be available for free downloads.

RRI: Anything else we should know about?

MB: I am proud to be a Rockford musician and to be part of the current musical community history. We should all be proud. This is a great town for music, past and present. So many people are knocking Rockford right now, we can always find the bad if that’s what we are looking for it but that doesn’t mean the good no longer exists.

Rockford has a lot to offer music lovers. Thanks for Rockford Rocked, it’s a really cool thing and is waking people up to who we were and who we are. You are doing a really cool thing here!

na Deaderson, as well as Jennifer Lenius and Eric Reed as the older Deaderson children.

And we couldn’t have asked for a better or more entertaining supporting cast.”

The Deadersons is shot in and around Rockford. For the pilot — which you can watch at youtube.com/watch?v=6zZ-IaVQV3c — Elliot says, “We had some help from the great people at Game Pros in Freeport. They allowed us to turn their video game store into a butcher shop.

[But] the front of the store is Clyde’s Comic’s on Broadway, in Rockford.”

The second episode is currently filming, and a third is in preproduction.

The Deadersons isn’t a slickly produced network sitcom, but the time, energy and skill Williamson, Elliot and company have put into it shows. It’s quirky, entertaining, and best of all it’s a local production. For those reasons alone, even zombie haters have to give them credit —or better yet, volunteer a location, donate props or play an extra.

“We can use as much help as we can get from the community,” Elliot says. “We are actively looking for sponsorships. The show features fake commercials now, but we would love to have The Deadersons promote real products, local and national.”

Williamson adds, “It would be wonderful if we could continue to get support from other businesses when we need new locations. We’re also planning to start an account on a crowdfunding site to help us begin raising funds— most importantly so we can start paying our actors. Right now, they are all passionate enough about The Deadersons to work for food.”

One of these days you might be able to purchase The Deadersons merchandise online or in local stores to help raise funds to keep the show going.

etflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and other video streaming options are quickly becoming the great equalizer in the entertainment industry. No longer do writers need to know somebody who knows somebody to land an agent who can pitch their ideas for TV shows (or films) to producers and studios who will either reject the idea or put it in the lengthy development process. Industrious folks — like Rockford-based Kris Williamson and Wyatt Elliot — are making their own shows and releasing them on YouTube.

Elliot‘s company, Notebook Entertainment, has produced over 300 short YouTube films, including 200 episodes of FMyLife, which he calls his flagship show. So last fall when Williamson had the idea for a retro-inspired zombie-centric sitcom, she wrote a pilot for The Deadersons and shared it with Elliot.

“After I sent the script to Wyatt, it took him three or four months to actually read it. But once he did, we went right into planning mode and now he knows better than to question me,” Williamson says.

“From casting to table read to filming was all in about a three month time. Then about a month of post-production until air date on June 7.”

Unlike a conventional TV series with a huge crew and studio support, The Deadersons is a labor of love, shooting around everyone’s schedules. So instead of weekly installments Williamson and Elliot are aiming to release new episodes on a monthly basis.

“This is a whole new challenge because it’s a full 30-minute sitcom. The internet has a real short attention span, which is why my FML series works well. It’s only 2-3 minutes an episode,” Elliot says. “The advantage is Kris and I get to be our own boss, and whatever she writes, I read it and film it. We don’t have to go through network executives, producers and censors. On a creative level, it’s completely freeing. The downside, is the budget is low. Kris and I are funding this series entirely ourselves. “ Williamson says the advantages can also be major challenges when producing your own series.

“Complete creative control over your work is something writers like myself dream about,”

she says. “But that also means we’re in charge of every aspect of production, including finding the funds to keep going. But the challenge is definitely worth the advantage and so we’ll keep pushing on with the hope of finding a VOD [Video On Demand] service to pick up our series and let us maintain creative control of it through Notebook Entertainment.”

The crew is small, so the division of duties starts with Williamson writing and overseeing costumes, hair & makeup and Elliot handling

filming and finding locations. They share other tasks, like directing, editing, casting and funding.

“We’ve been lucky enough to have awesome and talented friends like BJ Boehm and [Rockford filmmaker] Travis Legge come help out as cameramen, as well as Val Marin, Chris German and Veronica Handeland to assist with makeup,” Williamson says. “We’ve been lucky to have the amazing Derek L. Cook and Valerie Meachum as parents David and Don-

Americans for the Arts calls for community transformation

By Anne E. O’Keefe

From Rockford Area Arts Council

This will likely read like “what I learned this summer at the AFTA Conference.” It was more thought provoking and engaging than summer camp so please read on.

First, about Americans for the Arts; AFTA’s mission is, “to serve, advance, and lead the network of organizations and individuals who cultivate, promote, sustain, and support the arts in America. Connecting your best ideas and leaders from the arts, communities, and business, together we can work to ensure that every American has access to the transformative power of the arts.”

There’s that word–transformative. We need to be bold, take risks, spread the word, demand

equity in the arts for all. I mean, for all, not just all students but veterans, ex-offenders, people with disabilities, older adults, arts for everyone.

It always makes me proud to represent Rockford on these occasions because we are involved in programs and grants that can be transformative. The U.S. Department of Education grant is a prime example.

In 2014 Rockford Public Schools District 205 received a grant for professional development in the amount of $295,248. Our school district is one of just 34 in the country that received funds “to help arts educators grow and improve arts instruction, and share effective models of arts in education that support student achievement in the arts and other areas.”

This grant will have long range impact on

the District’s vision for how the arts can impact students in preparation for success in the 21st Century workforce. This program enables the implementation of high-quality model professional development programs in elementary and secondary education for music, dance, drama, media arts, visual arts, including folk arts, for educators and other arts instructional staff, K-12 in schools with high-poverty rates.

AFTA serves as a great resource to us as we look to set Public Art Policies and Procedures. They provide tools, including studies and data so that we can to talk to legislators, local politicians, school board members as to the importance of the arts for a community the thrives rather than survives.

We toured the Pilsen neighborhood to see the murals that line 16th Street and tell the stories of

the community. We saw the once gritty neighborhood gentrifying, almost before our eyes.

The conversation turned to the struggle between gentrification and preservation.

This is not a new topic, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer, but there does seem to be this incredible ability on the part of artists to be flexible and accepting of change.

The highlight of the conference was spending time with my esteemed friends who serve the people of Illinois well every day. I’m very fortunate to be a member of the Arts Alliance Illinois Board of Directors (www.artsalliance.org). The President and CEO, Ra Joy, continues to inspire those of us serving on the front line. Ra Joy offers words of encouragement, support and inspiration, pushing us to be transformative.

Tomorrowland not deserving of harsh criticism

By Thomas Simpson Film Columnist

H

ollywood is often criticized for its lack of original ideas. Films are generally adaptations, remakes or reboots of some sort. When it comes to Disney nothing is off limits, including drawing inspiration from its theme park rides. Pirates of the Caribbean raked in almost $4 billion at the box office so it’s no wonder Disney started perusing the park for more ideas. Which took them to Tomorrowland. A pretty obscure choice to bring to the big screen. With Brad Bird directing a script by Damon Lindelof it was clear Disney were taking this seriously. Could audiences?

Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) is your

everyday sassy and rebellious teenage girl. She exhibits a too cool for school swagger but her heart is in the right place. When she attempts to sabotage a NASA launch pad to ensure her Dad isn’t out of a job, she finds herself arrested. Upon release she discovers a strange pin has been included in her possessions.

Upon touching this pin she is given a vision of an alternative world called Tomorrowland.

Her newfound toy attracts some sinister attention and she is advised to seek out Frank Walker, a former boy genius who has been to Tomorrowland. Frank has grown up to be a grumpy George Clooney and he has no desire to entertain Casey. He is forced to change his mind when he realizes Casey might be the key

to changing a catastrophic event.

Tomorrowland hasn’t fared too well at the box office, and that’s a shame. It’s a fun kid’s film with a surprisingly grim undertone.

The action is light and breezy to begin with but the utopian dream that is being sold gradually fades as something more devastating is revealed.

Perhaps the plot unravels too slowly. The film doesn’t drag, far from it, though once we reach the third act I realized there wasn’t much time left to wrap things up and it ended up feeling rushed. The story is left open for a sequel which now looks unlikely for a film that has barely clawed back its budget.

Clooney is great as the bitter old scientist

and is the perfect fodder for Robertson’s optimistic and bright eyed Casey. Raffey Cassidy plays Athena, a resident of Tomorrowland and childhood friend of Frank. Her deadpan delivery provides appropriate comic relief and she gets bonus points for not being an annoying child character. Her relationship with Frank could easily have been creepy yet it’s handled delicately and with warmth.

It’s difficult to pinpoint why Tomorrowland has flopped at the box office or why critics have been so harsh. It’s an entertaining and enjoyable sci-fi that should leave kids in awe and adults pondering. Hopefully it finds its audience on DVD as Tomorrowland really deserves a second chance.

An economic mirage: Real vs Phantom wealth

By Nancy Churchill Contributor

M

itt Romney said, “Corporations are people, my friend.” I disagree, but many believe it’s true (including, apparently, our illustrious Supreme Court with their “money-is-speech” Citizens United decision). So if they are people, corporations should clue into Jesus’ precept, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” They’re charged with serving human needs, after all.

Trouble is, corporate “people” trade only in phantom wealth. That is, money or assets “unrelated to the creation of anything of real value,” according to the New Economy Working Group. “It can appear or disappear as if by magic, as in the case of the inflation and ultimate collapse of the tech-stock and housing bubbles.” Its “debt pyramids” feed complex trading schemes that appear to generate profits but only justify monstrous management fees.

The Working Group says we long ago chose this “phantom wealth” model of Wall Street capitalism over Soviet communism, believing we were getting democracy and market choice. Instead, “we see the reality that Wall Street capitalism seeks to limit our political choices to politicians who serve Wall Street interests and our market choices to those that maximize Wall Street profits.” Their motto apparently is the non-Biblical, “to whosoever extracteth much wealth from the poor, huge tax cuts shall be given.”

Necessities of life are “real wealth” to humans: “healthful food, fertile land, pure water, clean air, caring relationships and loving parents, quality education, affordable health care, fulfilling opportunities for service,

peo ple (n) pl. [pē puh l]

2. persons, whether men, women, or children, considered as numerable individuals forming a group Twenty people volunteered to help.

and time for meditation and spiritual reflection.” Having these leads to “healthy children, loving families, caring communities, and a beautiful natural environment.”

Advice for corporate “relatives” extracting phantom wealth from essential life needs: give back by paying higher taxes! You’ll so blessed, and much happier, to boot!

To Monsanto, in particular, I say, accept GMO labeling, for crying out loud! Jesus will bless you, and so will we!

And to KCBX, owned by Charles and David Koch: just clean up, at your own expense, the huge piles of petroleum coke that’s sickening the Tenth Ward on Chicago’s South East Side because it’s your mess. You’ll feel so much better about yourself, as will Chicago!

To proponents of fast-tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement: give it up, already! Past trade deals have hurt real workers and economies as multinational corporate “people” make secret deals to potentially overrule local and national laws, foul clean air and water and plunge real humans into greater poverty.

To NRA’s gun lobby: what about the 2nd Amendment “well-regulated” do you not understand? Support sensible laws to keep guns out of the hands of crazies!

Stop the killing! Jesus would approve!

An alternative, democratic solution to corporate “persons” are private, worker-owned corporations. Capitalism remains intact as real wealth and market choice gets first dibs since every worker has a stake in how the corporation is run.

Guest Column

Morrissey administration rejects compromise

By Paul Arena

What the city did instead

Rockford Apartment Association

A

The Morrissey administration was so opposed to the oversight of the Housing Board that they illegally changed the language of the ordinance as it was originally passed to make the Housing Board optional. Click here for an explanation of how the ordinance was changed.

RAA recognized shortly after it was published that the ordinance language was changed. Despite that fact, RAA still worked with the city for two years in the hope that the intent of the last council would be honored and the ordinance would be used as intended. We volunteered our time to help develop the registration software, to help people register, and we allowed the city to forward phone calls to us from citizens who had questions on the ordinance.

We were continually promised the philosophy of the original ordinance would be honored.

We brought the evidence of the illegal language change to the attention of aldermen. Aldermen Chiarelli, Beach, Beck, McNamara, Newburg, and Oddo were all provided the documentation.

When asked, Aldermen Thompson Kelly and Aldermen Getchius told me they didn’t even want to see it.

RAA did all we could to find a compromise.

In the end the city took all they wanted and gave us nothing. Instead of resolving behavior issues the housing board will be used to tell people to cut their grass. Will that reduce crime?

s you probably know, the Morrissey administration successfully passed an ordinance amendment that will target landlords with code enforcement for the misbehavior of tenants. That policy harms even the most responsible landlord. By not focusing on holding tenants accountable, criminal behavior goes unchecked and is repeated. That fact affects even well managed properties by degrading the quality of life in the neighborhoods we have invested in and eventually driving away good tenants.

After all of the work we did and the patience we have had with the city’s conduct, the council still voted to impose the same failed policy that contributes to Rockford’s high crime rate. The city never intended to give the common sense ideas that were part of the original ordinance a chance to work.

Associating code enforcement with crime is now the law in Rockford, not just a misguided policy.

How we got here

Six years ago the City of Rockford approached RAA claiming they needed to regulate you so they could know who to contact regarding issues at rented property. The RAA questioned why this was necessary. Government sends us tax bills and water bills. Those bills get paid. Contact was already being made but we still were willing to cooperate.

Disruptive behavior at rental property was a reason given for the need to contact the person responsible for a rented property.

RAA’s concern was the fact that often the city delegates government’s responsibility to control crime onto property owners. The city uses code enforcement as leverage to punish property owners when tenant behavior disturbs the neighborhood. The goal is to force the property owner to solve the problem on their own.

A reasonable solution

We agreed to work with the city on providing contact registration. In return we wanted to end the practice of using code enforcement as a method to penalize property owners over tenant behavior. Rental property owners should be expected to provide a product that is safe and well maintained. Tenant should be expected to not cause code violations and to not disturb their neighbors. Government should be expected to enforce the laws on the people who have violated the law.

What can you do now?

‘The Rockford Apartment Association would like to see an end to the policy of using code enforcement as a method to penalize property owners for tenant conduct. Now that it has become part of the law we have a better opportunity to challenge the policy in court.’

That commons sense, balanced approach was the basis of a comprehensive ordinance that was eventually passed. The city administration didn’t like it so they refused to implement it. Holding landlords accountable was fine with the city but the obligation the ordinance placed on the city

was not well received. The balanced structure of the original ordinance would have been imposed by the use of an independent group of citizens called a Housing Board.

That board became the focus of the dispute over the Residential Quality Support Ordinance.

To be ignored is unacceptable. We have a political problem. We are responsible business people who made a legitimate effort to help government.

In the past real estate investors have not participated in political campaigns in an organized manner and that needs to change. RAA wants to partner with responsible investors like you to find and support candidates for office who embrace compromise. People who have invested in this community must have a voice in the next election cycle.

The Rockford Apartment Association would like to see an end to the policy of using code enforcement as a method to penalize property owners for tenant conduct. Now that it has become part of the law we have a better opportunity to challenge the policy in court. If you experience enforcement of code violations after disruptive behavior of tenants please contact RAA. We are looking for a case we can use to challenge this policy. rockfordapartmentassociation@gmail.com

How many calories are in that sandwich?

By Trudy Lieberman Rural Health News Service

N

ot long ago my husband showed up with a sandwich for lunch that he bought at a local supermarket. I thought it was going to be our usual: turkey and provolone with lettuce on a hard roll, always plenty for both of us. At $6.50, how could you go wrong?

This time the sandwich was different.

It now cost $9.50 and was piled high with turkey and cheese on a roll that was much bigger than what we were used to. In short, it was awful—enough meat and cheese for four people on squishy bread that tasted more like a morning sweet roll. But the bigger serving probably looked like a good deal to a lot of people who thought only about size relative to cost and nothing about size or cost relative to calories.

After surgery on the sandwich, the two of us ate some of it and saved slices of the meat and cheese for later. My guess is most buyers would have eaten the whole thing believing they were getting great value for the money. Maybe they were, but they were also getting at least half the calories most of them needed for the day.

Take the calories we consume at breakfast and dinner plus a bunch of Cokes and other sweet drinks we sip through the day, and that sandwich likely would put people well over their ideal daily caloric intake.

Too many calories, as we all know, leads to obesity and serious health complications. The picture isn’t pretty. According to the National Institutes of Health, more than two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese and more than one-third are obese.

Yet if we connect the dots, we see more and more of this money-for-value proposition in the foods we buy away from home, which prompts us to consume more calories than we need. An average American eats about one-quarter of his or her calories from chain restaurants, says Margo Wootan, the national nutrition director for the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Think about how many times you want a Coke in the afternoon. I do, but I won’t pay for a 16 or 20-ounce soda. It’s way more than I can drink, and for me a waste of calories at any price. But if it seems like we’re getting more for less money, people will probably drink more.

Would our collective behavior change if the food we eat outside our kitchens came with calorie labels that clued us in

Conservation, crop insurance and tax dollars

Researchers say fast food chains showing the caloric totals in their items could help people make healthier eating choices. NPR

on what exactly we were consuming? The Affordable Care Act called for supermarkets, movie theaters, convenience stores and restaurant chains with more than 20 outlets to post the calories for the items they sell.

The Food and Drug Administration issued regulations late last year, but the final rules have been delayed until the end of 2016. In the meantime, several localities like New York City and Philadelphia now require calorie labeling.

What prompted me to take a second look at what seems a sensible public health measure was a post I read recently on the blog of the Incidental Economist where Aaron Carroll, one of the editors-in-chief and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Indiana, argued that a systematic review of all the studies done in the few localities where labeling exists showed “Although current evidence does not support a significant impact on calories ordered,” labeling is a “relatively low-cost education strategy that may lead consumers to purchase slightly fewer calories.”

Carroll quarreled with the idea that

labeling is actually a low-cost strategy. I tried to reach him, but he did not respond.

So I phoned Wootan, who said the studies and the conclusions were based on very small numbers of participants.

Besides that, she said, small dietary changes can make a big difference. “The whole obesity epidemic can be explained by 100 to 150 calories more than people need on average per day,” she said. It boils down to choices like the one we made not to eat the overstuffed sandwich at one sitting.

My neighborhood Chipotle says a burrito could have 450 calories or 1,025 depending on what you put on it. The order taker said salsas had fewer calories than cheese and sour cream. Chicken, she said, was the most popular meat. Apparently customers believe that calorie-wise it’s better to eat chicken than the beef or pork options. But chicken with sour cream and cheese could pack more of a caloric hit than pork carnitas with salsa.

That’s why calorie labeling is an important step toward sensible eating and better health.

merica loves farmers. Our government loves them so much that they subsidize, on average, 62 percent of their crop insurance premiums. Crop insurance provides a safety net for farmers when things go wrong, and premium subsidies were intended to get more farmers interested in using crop insurance.

Crop insurance guarantees income year after year, but does not require much at all in terms of good soil and water conservation from farmers. Since farmers know they are guaranteed income, there is nothing stopping them from increasing insured acreage by planting marginal land, or land that is unsuitable for farming. Insurance companies ultimately hand farmers a nice cash reward for damaging the heartland.

To cut the budget, congress took money out of programs that support conservation such as the Conservation Stewardship Program. At the same time that they made this decision, they had spent $58.7 billion (from 2003-2012) on premium subsidies and administrative and loss reimbursements for insurance companies like Wells Fargo, which had $1.4 trillion in assets in 2013, and Ace, which had a $2.7 billion net income in 2012. But why put money toward conserving the soil and water we rely on for food when so much money goes to the very companies that are paying farmers through insurance regardless of their conservation efforts?

America needs to reexamine the effect crop insurance is having on our food industry or else taxpayers will continue to pour money into supporting farming practices that only destroy our environment.

Looking ahead to June corn stock figures

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The USDA’s quarterly Grain Stocks report, to be released on June 30, will reveal the estimated inventories of the major crops as of June 1. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the most interest is in the estimate of corn stocks.

“The location of corn stocks, on-farm or offfarm, is of some interest because location provides some information about ownership,” Good said.

“However, the location of stocks does not completely reveal the ownership of those stocks because some off-farm stocks are owned by producers and some on-farm stocks have already been priced for later delivery. It is the magnitude of total stocks that is of most importance as those stocks will reveal the magnitude of feed and residual use of corn during the previous quarter.”

The likely use of corn in other categories has been more clearly revealed by weekly and monthly estimates of exports, grain crushings, and ethanol production.

Good said the market reaction to the corn stocks estimate will depend on how the revealed rate of feed and residual use compares to both the rate needed to meet the USDA’s projection of use for the year and the rate anticipated by the market.

However, a wide range of expectations by market participants is likely.

“A wide range of expectations reflects, in part, the inconsistent pattern of quarterly feed and

residual use of corn from year to year,” Good said. “In the previous four years, for example, use during the third quarter of the marketing year, as revealed by the June 1 stocks estimate, was in a 200-million-bushel range. Expectations also differ due to alternative interpretations of the effect of the changing magnitude of livestock and poultry production. Feed use during the quarter should have been supported at higher levels by expanding numbers of hogs, broilers, and dairy cows. On the other hand, the loss of a large number of layers due to bird flu reduced feed demand to some extent.”

Good analyzes the range of June 1 corn stocks that is consistent with the USDA’s projection of feed and residual use for the year estimated: The supply of corn available for use during the third quarter of the marketing year consisted of March 1 stocks, previously estimated at 7.745 billion bushels, plus imports of about 10 million bushels. The Census Bureau provides the official estimates of corn exports, but those estimates are available only through April. Weekly USDA export inspection estimates, however, are available through June 18. As of the end of April, cumulative marketing-year Census Bureau estimates of exports exceeded USDA export inspections by 66 million bushels. If that margin persisted through May, export inspection estimates point to third-quarter exports of about 523 million bushels.

The USDA’s monthly Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report estimated that 848 million bushels of corn were used for ethanol

production in March and April. Based on ethanol production estimates for those two months, 2.85 gallons of ethanol were produced for each bushel of corn processed. Some small quantities of feed stocks other than corn were used to produce ethanol, and the ratio of ethanol production to corn crushings varies a bit from month to month.

Monthly estimates of ethanol production are not yet available for April and May. Based on weekly ethanol production estimates for April and May and the ethanol-to-corn ratio in March and April, it is estimated that about 440 million bushels of corn were used for ethanol production in May. The quarterly total is estimated at 1.288 billion bushels.

Corn consumed for seed and other food and industrial products during the third quarter of the marketing year is estimated at 354 million bushels.

That estimate is based on the USDA’s projection of use for the year and the magnitude of use in each of the first two quarters of the year. Corn used for all domestic food, seed, and industrial purposes during the quarter is estimated at 1.642 billion bushels.

For the entire 2014-15 marketing year, the USDA has projected feed and residual use of corn at 5.25 billion bushels. Based on the estimates of Dec. 1, 2014, and March 1, 2015, corn stocks, feed and residual use during the first half of the year totaled 3.668 billion bushels. Use during the last half of the year needs to be 1.582 billion bushels in order for the marketing-year total to reach 5.25 billion bushels. That is 312 million bushels more than during the last half of the 2013-14 marketing year and the most since the 2009-10 marketing year.

What level of use during the third quarter is consistent with use of 1.582 billion bushels for the last half of the year?

“The answer is approached by examining the quarterly pattern of use since 2010-11, when a marked change in the seasonal pattern of feed and residual use emerged,” Good said. “However, 2012-13 is omitted from the analysis due to the uniqueness associated with the very small crop of 2012 and the resulting high corn prices. The pattern of use in the remaining three years was highly variable so that a range of use during the third quarter this year could still be consistent with the USDA’s projection. The center of that range is about 1 billion bushels. Use at that level would point to total third-quarter corn consumption of 3.165 billion bushels and June 1 stocks of 4.59 billion bushels. A stocks estimate 50 million bushels smaller or 100 million bushels larger, however, would not constitute a surprise.

“The June 1 stocks estimates have occasionally provided a market surprise, most recently in 2010 and 2011 when the estimates were more than 300 million bushels different than the average trade guess,” Good said. “A deviation of 100 million bushels or less this year probably should not be considered a surprise.”

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of June 24-30, 2015

This Week: The sun moves into Cancer June 22 and that invokes introspection. Go easy on yourself if you’re feeling a little more vulnerable as the week begins. Many of you may not feel like socializing during this phase and that’s okay too. We tend to want to hunker down within our homes and nest with those that are near and dear to us. The problem with that is especially with us in the Midwest, we’ve had about enough of this and are beginning to feel a little stir crazy. Try having smaller gatherings at your home with close friends or acquaintances to get your creative and social juices flowing. Or force yourself to dine out rain or shine to rebootyoursystem.Smallerquietervenueswillsoothe your nerves until we adjust to this water influenced planetary element. Enjoy!

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — The focus on home and property arrives again with a clear cut vision as to what you may want or need in the future. But first, you needtocompletethosewornouttasksthatarehanging with your present humble abode. This week may be a good time to begin to prioritize those projects and pick away at a few of them one by one. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, Cancer. Make sure you set some time aside for socializing as well.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — The perfect fit with career arrives this month. Be patient and allow this to fall into place within its own timeline.

EDGE

Teetering on the Edge

From Page 4

agrees, but says the RERZ has been placed on the back burner due to the pressing need for an operating budget to keep the state open for business.

“We’re at a crossroads with the budget and a lot of times credits aren’t awarded until an operating budget is decided on,” he said.

“Even in the past years when this extension has occurred they’ve passed an operating budget and credit items are implemented after the fact.”

Sources told The Rock River Times over the weekend that the credit extension for Rockford had been placed in jeopardy due to Mayor Larry Morrissey’s backing of Rauner’s right-to-work programs and his larger Turnaround Agenda.

Speaker Madigan was reportedly upset at the leader of one of Illinois’ largest cities stumping for the governor as his caucus fights to keep key components of the GOP leader’s legislative agenda from being passed.

But sources close to Madigan’s office say that time line doesn’t add up. One person with close ties to the speaker said that the RERZ was simply another item that the governor and his allies have targeted to effectively hold hostage as they try to wrangle a budget deal in Springfield.

“The governor has already gone after budget items that are used to attract business to Illinois,” they said, “and I’m sure the RERZ bill would be something he would target.”

State Rep. Litesa Wallace (D, Rockford) says that legislators’ focus has been on passing a working budget but that programs like RERZ are still high priorities as discussions continue.

“It’s my goal to have legislation benefit Rockford and the surrounding community,” she said Monday. “(RERZ) has obviously made a big impact on our area and has attracted investors to the area.”

Marge Bevers of B & B Properties says developers are concerned as the Dec. 31, 2016 deadline for the program leaves little time for new projects to be completed.

“It will be hard to put more buildings in line for these benefits unless the new projects are on smaller buildings and plan to start this summer,”

she said via email. “To receive the funds the developer or owner must complete the project and have a Certificate of Occupancy by the deadline.”

Gary Anderson, President of the River District Association and noted historical architect, says, “This continues to create economic pull we need here in Rockford. It’s going to put people to work.”

Anderson says RERZ is in line with Rauner’s pro-business platform and should be a priority for the governor.

“This is about as pro-business as you can get in terms of creating jobs, creating opportunities for people, growing business, retaining business. These are all things it’s about.”

He points out the success of projects such as

Hohl said that while he doesn’t feel Madigan would hold up a key project like RERZ for an area such as Rockford, historical tax credits can be a touchy subject in the state legislature.

“The Senate has held some hearings and has been accepting of the (RERZ), but historic preservation in the past has hit a roadblock in the House.”

Wallace says that any perceived roadblocks in the House shouldn’t be a problem to re-certifying the program.

“I’m not pessimistic that we will lose it,” she said, “but we’ve been focused on a budget for the state that addresses key operational and social services that we need.”

“I hope we can incorporate it into any final

‘The River Edge Redevelopment Zone is a tool we really need. It’d be extremely unfortunate if this program was allowed to lapse. We need every tool in the box we can get.’ -Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen the Rockford Brewing Company’s Prairie Street complex as well as Urban Equity Properties’ use of the program as results of its economic potential.

Scott Christiansen, Winnebago County Board Chairman, says that frustrations over the lack of a resolution are holding up plans from moving forward.

He described the situation as tense although it appears all parties agree that RERZ is a crucial element of the redevelopment of Rockford and the rest of Winnebago County.

“The RERZ is a tool we really need,” he said.

“It’d be extremely unfortunate if this program was allowed to lapse. We need every tool in the box we can get.”

County board member John Guevara (R, District 19) echoed Christiansen’s stance. “Tax credits help, I don’t care where they are. They help this region. The spending is incumbent on there being development and if there’s development you increase tax revenue.”

He said it’s critical for all local entities to get on board and work to make sure RERZ is extended beyond its current sunset date.

“If we don’t have everyone on board saying this has to happen that could be trouble. This area is one that’s standing on the point of a pin.”

budget agreement,” said Stadelman. “It’s a difficult process but right now I think we can do that.”

He stressed the growth that RERZ has encouraged in the region. “This tax credit brings in more money, period. It will generate business and revenue that wouldn’t be there in the first place. It’s a net benefit to the state that doesn’t cost money.”

And sources say that Madigan would have a political interest in extending the credits for Rockford, as well as the zones in Peoria, East St. Louis, Elgin and Aurora.

“He’s got to protect seats in those cities,” one source close to the speaker said Tuesday. “The move of the (Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) toward privatization is impacting on the RERZ extension.”

“We need to continue to put pressure on the state to show just how important this is to our community and the other communities that are jumping on the bandwagon,” said Anderson.

“There has been a strong push by the other cities to help get the extension so they can utilize it better.

It’s taken a few years to catch on but (Rockford) has been more proactive than the rest.”

Stadelman agrees that moving on RERZ should be a bigger priority, and one members on both sides

of the aisle should back.

“In the downtown area there had not been a lot of interest from the private sector. This has been one tool that’s really driving private development in Rockford and I would argue we need to get (the extension) in place sooner rather than later.”

“I’d rather have us look like a little Madison than a little Detroit,” said Guevara.

“Everybody knows what’s at stake,” he continued, “but in this particular case (developers) need assurance to be able to spend the money because you’re going to get it back ten-fold for the area.”

Haley’s call to remove flag shows shift in GOP strategy

By Joseph Lowndes TheConversation.com

M

onday in a televised press conference, Republican South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley called for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the South Carolina Statehouse grounds.

Before this week, Haley, like other Republican politicians, resisted calls for its removal. Now Haley joins prominent southern Republicans – Tennessee Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, along with 2016 presidential hopefuls Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush – in calling for the flag to be taken down.

What accounts for this dramatic turnabout? Surely, the massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church last week was a decisive factor. But the abandonment of the symbol of the Confederacy reflects a slow – but definitive – shift away from the Southern Strategy that had long tied white, southern racial animus to national Republican goals.

Beginning in the mid-20th century, the campaigns of Republican pres-

idential nominees exploited race to win over white Democrats, first in the South and then nationally.

In the 1964 presidential election, Republican Senator Barry Goldwater ran in opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. He won only five states outside his home state of Arizona – but all of them were in the Deep South.

Four years later, Richard Nixon sought to siphon votes from segregationist Alabama Governor George C Wallace by claiming to represent a silent majority of Americans who stood for “law and order” – those alarmed by the black protests sweeping through cities nationwide, and opposed to school desegregation via forced busing.

Reagan opened his 1980 campaign in Neshoba County, Mississippi (where civil rights workers James Cheney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were murdered in 1964), telling voters, “I believe in states’ rights” – a euphemism for opposition to federal civil rights enforcement.

And eight years later, George H W Bush’s campaign strategist Lee

Atwater race-baited Bush’s Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis though a series of ads featuring a convicted black rapist.

Why, then, are Republicans now turning their backs on the symbol of white southern resistance it once depended on?

Political scientists have long debated when, why and how partisan political identities and interests change.

They often point to dramatic events or the emergence of crucial new issues as “trigger moments.”

But we can also look at slower, more subtle changes in the ideas and commitments of political actors to understand how micropolitics produce broader shifts.

So what happened with the GOP and its relationship with race?

First, in the 1990s, the Democratic Party also began exploiting white fears for political gain. Bill Clinton – under the influence of the conservative, southern-based Democratic Leadership Council – pushed through anti-crime legislation that’s largely responsible for creating the current

prison-industrial complex (where blacks are overwhelmingly represented). He also dismantled welfare through instituting lifetime limits for recipients, reducing benefits and enforcing work requirements.

Second, with the absence of a strong black freedom struggle, a new generation of Republicans sought to interpret the legacy of the civil rights movement for their own gain.

These leaders included George W Bush, who acknowledged and apologized for the Southern Strategy while arguing for neo-liberal and individualist forms of black empowerment.

Later, prominent conservative figures like Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed and Fox News commentator Glenn Beck would regularly invoke Martin Luther King, Jr. Third, the nation’s changing racial demographics have forced Republicans to try to shed their image of the party of “stuffy old men” (as a 2012 report from the Republican National Committee put it).

Meanwhile, a number of prominent Republican conservatives of

color have emerged in the last decade.

These include former Florida House member Allen West, Utah Representative Mia Love, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Tea Party-backed presidential hopefuls such as Herman Cain and Dr Ben Carson. Even two of the Palmetto State’s most prominent politicians are minorities: Senator Tim Scott and Governor Nikki Haley.

Yet Haley’s announcement isn’t so much evidence that the Southern Strategy is over; rather, it shows that it’s done its job.

Republicans no longer need to court white southerners in overtly racist ways, because they’ve already fully absorbed them into the Republican coalition. Where else can they go?

This is not to say that the GOP has resolved its race problem. Indeed, Republican positions on voter ID laws, affirmative action, and social and economic policies are at odds with the political views of the overwhelming majority of African Americans. The GOP can simply pursue these ends without direct appeal to blatant symbols of white supremacy.

Headaches, neck pain, arm pain – Why me?

By Dr. Philip R. Schalow One person may have these symptoms since childhood. Another may have had symptoms after an accident or mild head injury. It’s frustrating that often dependence on drugs and other alternative methods keep a person from a full life, although they may be temporarily helpful.

Shakespeare’s line from Julius Ceasar, “the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves,” steers us in the direction of investigating the nature of causes. One cause of these symptoms is thought to be a structural peculiarity called the Arcuate Foramen, a little bridge of bone on the first cervical vertebra which surrounds some very important nerves and blood vessels.

Published research has only drawn a loose association between the arcuate foramen and the listed symptoms, but there is no clear understanding of the health impact of that bony bridge.

The assumption has been this narrow opening pinches nerves and blood vessels to create symptoms.

However, research performed by Philip Schalow, D.C., of the Upper Cervical Care Center – Rockford, now shows that most of the time, the arcuate foramen is not clinically significant and not related to symptoms. Instead, it is the subluxation, a misalignment of vertebrae pinching nerves and blood vessels, which is causing symptoms. In less than 1% of the patients studied, the arcuate foramen may be the problem. In four patients with vertigo and the arcuate foramen, 50% had resolution of the symptoms and 50% did not recover in the time expected. Dr Schalow says, “all of the people I accept into my practice have what’s called the atlas subluxation complex, which is a

misalignment of the head in relation to the atlas and the neck below.

The procedure we use – called the NUCCA procedure (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association), seeks to restore the head and neck to the vertical axis. This is truly a full-spine technique that untwists and straightens the body by putting the head back in communication with the body. Everyone benefits from this work, although some people have other conditions that require different approaches” Hannah Orem, D.C., also of the Upper Cervical Care Center adds, “It doesn’t matter what condition a person has, if the atlas subluxation complex is present, they won’t be functioning at their best.” Dr Orem is an athlete who had significant problems running until discovering the NUCCA procedure.

Charles Woodfield, D.C., and Director of Research with the Upper Cervical Research Foundation, states, “Chiropractic research getting published is the critical step in ensuring that the community gets the valuable care that works. Dr. Schalow’s acceptance to the International Research and Philosophy Symposium is a welcome addition.”

The conclusion of Dr Schalow’s case report states that as Chiropractic and Medicine work closer together, we will have a better understanding of when to use conservative chiropractic for clearing out the subluxation and when to use surgical interventions.

Cancer, liver and high estrogen

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D.

My mother died of cancer and my grandmother died of cancer. Anytime you have two relatives that close who have breast, endometrial, colon or lung cancer, the risk for any one of these cancers are high. I realized this while going to school for naturopathic medicine and I also realized my risk factor of having breast cancer was even higher due to all the estrogen in my body. I was correct for I got breast cancer and my breast cancer was estrogen feed. This is why it is so important for you to know all of your estrogen numbers. Estrone, estradiol and estriol. Your liver filters the estrogen so you need to know your ALT and AST numbers and their ratios.

Many liver problems like cirrhosis and hepatitis go undetected until symptoms develop. Oftentimes, this may be too late; the disease has progressed to a more advance stage. There are ways to detect liver problems early. Looking for particular physical signs can be helpful in determining liver disease risk this is why I do Fingernail and Tongue Analysis.

Checking the liver enzymes, ALT and AST, can also be beneficial.

The liver is responsible for turning food into energy, any impairment will of course cause fatigue. The bitter or metallic taste is due to bile buildup which can occur with liver problems. Bloating and dry mouth are due to associated digestive problems with liver disease. If there is pain in the upper right quadrant area (which can also radiate towards the back), this typically is related to a

gallbladder problem, which means the liver may be affected as well. When I see issues with estrogen/liver I highly suggest right away putting my clients on a supplement that will do the following: • It protects the liver from damage – It reduces liver cell necrosis, protecting the liver from damage caused by alcohol or medications.

• It increases liver mitosis rate – This allows the liver to regenerate faster and recover its full function.

• It reduces the liver enzymes, ALT and AST, as well as the virus load.

Stimulates interferon production, which can help the liver combat Hepatitis.

• Hepatitis – It suppresses hepatitis (RNA and DNA) virus replication and expression both inside and outside the liver cells.

• Fatty Liver – It increases fat metabolism and can prevent fat sediments from forming in the liver.

Clinical reports have shown how this effects on hepatitis, fatty liver and liver cirrhosis as well as other symptoms associated with these diseases. If your liver enzymes are high due to hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis or other liver issues, please call my office and make an appointment. Elevated liver enzymes can definitely signify a liver problem.

Mr. Green Car

Does fuel efficiency weigh on new car buyers?

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

I

recently noticed a full-page ad by a local Nissan dealer that touted their line up of cars that attained 30 mpg or better. The gas mileage was boldly printed for city and highway mpg for comparison and comprised a number of cars. This is in stark contrast to a decade ago when fuel economy was not considered worth mentioning in car reviews or advertising. But consumers now care about the fuel economy of their prospective purchases, and thus it is promoted by companies that have the products customers are looking for. There is even heavy competition to produce the most fuel-efficient pick-up trucks.

Documenting this trend is a recent study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. In their report they found that more than half of prospective new car buyers describe fuel efficiency as “very important” in their buying decisions. Another 39.5 percent say that gas mileage is “somewhat important” to them while shopping for a new vehicle, while 9.5 percent claim “slightly important” and only 2.1 percent said efficiency was “not at all important.”

We should take this report as good news.

Even with gasoline prices still under $3 per gallon, consumers are wary and are hedging against the very likely prospect that the Saudi’s will soon end their flooding of the oil markets with cheap oil - bringing back $4 per gallon fill ups to the U.S. The survey did not ask why fuel efficiency was important to people. From personal experience, I find for most it is economic and not environmental reasons.

The study did query respondents on knowledge of technology. Most had no preference in technology to attain high fuel efficiency, leading to the conclusion that buyers don’t care how you get there, just so long as the desired result is to their liking. Only 23.9 percent said “engine

improvements” is the route to efficiency they preferred while 20.2 percent claimed alternative fuels were the choice in finding efficiency. From this, we can safely say that the “alternative fuel”

they are referring to must be diesel, since ethanol is not more efficient, and hydrogen is unavailable at present time. Compressed natural gas can be less costly per mile to operate, but refueling is

still a challenge and not widely available. Almost 90 percent said they knew how diesels and hybrids work, but lacking in knowledge of what is presently available in showrooms right now.

Half had not heard of continuously-variable transmissions, while 60 percent had no knowledge of cylinder deactivation. It appears turbocharging is understood by 81 percent of buyers however. Some of the new technologies are forcing higher compressions in the engines to get more power from a smaller displacement.

This leads to the need for premium fuel – and is a line consumers will be reluctant to cross; with 72.6 percent of respondents saying that a vehicle using premium fuel would reduce their desire to buy it.

The study should confirm that what the major manufacturers have been doing in recent years – taking a wide approach with efficient straight engines, turbocharging, hybrids, diesels, and electric vehicles being offered to accommodate our needs, desires and fears. Only start up manufacturer Tesla has put all their eggs in one basket and pursued a single drive system – pure electric. There have been plenty of words written forecasting Telsa’s demise for just this reason.

The planet is not making any more oil. We are drawing out the hard to get to stuff now. So saving all of it we can will keep our oil based economy rolling along until some new miracle technology appears that will enable a switch over to something more sustainable. Buying efficient vehicles frees your wallet to make other purchases that fuel the national and local economy as well. Saving the planet may not be your primary concern, but we all benefit by driving fuel-efficient vehicles nonetheless. Consider becoming among the majority who find fuel-efficiency to be “very important” in their buying decisions.

Farming

Beyond your backyard

By Emily Hanlin Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau

John Mitchell of Winnebago was very eager to share his story after a morning of birthing calves and breeding cows. This is a typical day on the Mitchell Farm, which is located just outside of Winnebago.

One thing you might find interesting while walking through the barns of Mitchell Farm is that all of their 500 head of cattle are female. Now, we know that the 320 they milk are girls. But, it’s interesting to discover that every bovine creature on the farm is female. The bull calves are sold soon after birth and are raised for beef and since they use an artificial insemination breeding system, there is no need for a bull.

The Mitchells have a bright future ahead of them.

They recently finished the process of building a new free-stall barn. These types of barns are used to house the cows while they are not being milked.

It creates a nice warm, dry place for the cows to stay comfortable in. The barn that was raised at the Mitchell farm holds 370 milking cows and will also house up to 50 of the cows who are close to calving.

That’s a total of 420 stalls altogether.

Besides the new barn, the Mitchells have already added a new manure pit and new manure transfer system to their farm. Expanding an already running farm is tough, but it is worth it and the Mitchells realize that. The Mitchells will be one of the first farms in Illinois to bed their cattle with separated manure solids.

“Basically the manure will run through a separator that will take all of the water out and then drop into a press that will squeeze the fiber out of the manure, and then we will turn around and bed them with it,” said Mitchell “The end product looks like corn silage, but of course it’s brown. So, when the system is completed it will be fairly revolutionary.”

Taking strides towards expansion causes a lot of controversy. It makes some think that the idea of a family farm is being lost. This is not the case for the Mitchell family. “We’re not just a ‘Mega Dairy’. We do have employees. Many of them are local people that, because we are a larger scale farm, are able to stay in the area and work in agriculture,” said Mitchell “But, they are a part of the community too. Our economic benefits extend well beyond ourselves and we are excited to be a growing part of the future of agriculture!”

MLB

Schwarber impresses during stint in the majors

By Nate Johnson Columnist

C

ubs lesson learned this past week: the prospect pipeline did not run dry after calling up Kris Bryant and Addison Russell, as it appears (despite a small sample size) that catching prospect Kyle Schwarber is as good as advertised.

After striking out on three pitches facing Cleveland reliever Marc Rzepczynski in pinch-hitting duty on June 16, Schwarber bounced back with a 4-for-5 performance the next night in his first MLB start, helping propel the Cubs to their most one-sided victory in recent times during a 17-0 rout of the Indians.

Schwarber’s stat line during his cup of coffee with Chicago reads like that of a future All-Star, going 8-for-22 with a .591 slugging percentage and 6 runs batted in during his stint as a designated hitter. Last year’s first round draft pick was

assigned to AAA-Iowa after Sunday’s 8-0 win in Minnesota for further seasoning behind the plate, but he should be back sooner rather than later.

The trouncing of Cleveland was the unquestionable highlight of another up and down week, rounded out by a 4-2 win on Monday over the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Monday’s victory featured Kris Bryant’s first multi-home run performance as a big leaguer, a message to Dodgers rookie center fielder Joc Pederson that the NL Rookie of the Year race might not be sewn up quite yet.

Monday’s win was not without some downside, as starter Tsuyoshi Wada left in the third inning with left shoulder pain.

Wada is questionable for his scheduled weekend start against St. Louis, which could open up the door for demoted starter Travis Wood, who came in on short notice to relieve Wada, to return to the rotation. The return of injured reliever Neil

Ramirez, who is currently on a rehab assignment in AA-Tennessee, would certainly soften the loss.

Overall, Chicago finished the past week with four wins and three losses but outscored their opposition 38-20, a strong sign for a team too often coming up short in the offense department.

Continued hot hitting by Bryant and Anthony Rizzo combined with center fielder Dexter Fowler’s second career grand slam on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins could show that the bats are ready to gain consistency coming into the summer months.

After the four-game homestand against Los Angeles, the Cubs hit the road to visit a pair of perennial rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets. The series in St. Louis will mark the first three of seven times the two teams will meet over the next two weeks and could go a long way towards sorting out the NL Central race.

Sale’s greatness against a backdrop of Sox futility

By Ethan Spalding

game, putting them ahead of only Oakland in the AL wild card standings at 8.5 games back. They’ve gone from fringe contender to non-contender in a blink of an eye, further pushing back the window of a potential Sale-led playoff team. They’re on track to have a historically bad group of position players, and with a farm system devoid of immediately available positional talent, things don’t look to be getting much better soon.

So what can be done? First and foremost, I contend that we should sit back and appreciate greatness.

Chris Sale is doing things that only inner circle Hall of Fame pitchers have done. This is something to be enjoyed independent of the White Sox performance.

But if the Sox go through the Sale Era the same way the Mariners have with King Felix it will be depressing as hell. Moves need to be made to avoid that- moves that bolster the next White Sox playoff contender. That team is not the 2015 White Sox. Realizing this in June, however, could be a bit of a silver lining. Teams will pay more for more production, and thus are likely willing to add more to a trade in late June than at the July 31st trade deadline. With adept market evaluation, Rick Hahnwho has shown a propensity for such deals so far as White Sox GM and could get a strong return for players that are less important to the next good White Sox team.

So now, we just have to wait and watch. Wait through another year of White Sox futility, and watch another year of Chris Sale dominance. If the White Sox play their cards right, maybe someday Sale will dominate on a White Sox team worth watching.

hris Sale is the best pitcher in baseball right now.

Yes, this is hardly an irrefutable fact. Yes, Sale’s numbers this season in totality don’t quite matchup with Gerrit Cole, Max Scherzer, or Chris Archer. And yes, if we expand to the last two full seasons, Clayton Kershaw has him beat. For the purpose of this article, I really don’t care. With all the talent at the top of the league, this is hardly a debate with a conclusive answer, and that’s fine.

What Chris Sale has done in the last month or so is simply unbelievable. Since starting May 12 with an abysmal 5.93 season ERA and quite pedestrian 8.56 K/9 and 3.29 BB/9, Sale has thrown 61.1 innings of viciously dominant baseball.

In that span, he has struck out 93 batters (13.65 K/9), walked just 10 (1.47 BB/9), given up 9 ER (1.32 ERA) and just 29 hits (0.80 WHIP).

He’s basically pitched like 2014 Craig Kimbrel with better control, and, you know, starting ball games.

But you’ve seen the stats. You know that he’s doing things that only the likes of Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson have done. You know that he’s leading MLB in K/9, that he’s striking out batters at a higher rate than anyone since Randy Johnson in 2001. You may even know that he’s putting up the second highest single season SP whiff rate in the Pitch F/X era. At this point, my Twitter niche as finder of Chris Sale fun facts has gone mainstream, with others biting my style and making it bigger.

But you also know that the White Sox are absolutely horrible. Despite Sale’s brilliance last night they still managed to lose an eighth straight
