Bath and Body Fusion holds grand opening

Bath and Body Fusion has announced the grand opening of their new location this Friday from 3-8 p.m. at 324-326 E. State St. downtown.

Store owner Jen Lancaster is already well known from her current location and presence at City Market.

“I’m thrilled to be moving into this larger location. Our business has already grown so much since 2011 and this space will allow us to grow even more. Downtown Rockford is becoming so vibrant and I’m certain opening my store was the best decision I ever made,” said Jen. The grand opening celebration will feature giveaways and drawings as well as the launching of 10 new products, the addition of a fresh facial bar, custom blended perfumes and colognes and over 150 fragrance and essential oils to choose from.

“The River District Association is so happy to see Bath and Body Fusion doing so well. I am confident that growing into their new space on E. State St. will prove well for them and we are excited they will be open for the launch of “Shop the Blocks”. We are pleased to have Jen’s involvement in the community and look forward to more great things to come for them,” said Leah Tuneberg, Director.

Jen Lancaster is currently developing a plan to work with our local schools and agencies to employ individuals with special needs.

“Everyone deserves to feel like they are valued, and providing a positive working environment for all types of employees will have an impact, not only on our store and customers, but on our community as well,” said Jen.

Metro policing a necessary solution

By John Guevara

Winnebago County Board

I

’ve consistently heard a handful of questions or viewpoints in the five years I’ve served on the County Board, including two years as Public Safety Chairman. Property taxes are too high. The streets aren’t safe.

And one question keeps popping up. Why don’t we have metro police?

It’s a good question. It’s an issue I campaigned on and if it’s done well, it makes sense. metro policing streamlines communication and the chain of command. It saves money and takes more of the politics out of police work.

At my last count, there are 10 police forces in Winnebago County. The two largest are Rockford and the County Sheriff’s department.

Ten separate police forces for 299,000 people.

We can reduce bureaucracy, cut costs where it makes sense, and improve the safety of our homes and neighborhoods.

Of course there are always the naysayers. There are always the obstructionists. They should read the studies. This is a community on the brink.

We need all hands on deck to make sure we come out looking more appealing to further outisde investment and to draw new residents to our community. I believe metro policing will help us do that.

SHUTDOWN Lack of a budget deal sees state government ready to close its doors.

Mayor: collaborative policing is at work

Rauner claims it will be business as usual.

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

Efforts to look at better policing practices for Rockford and its surrounding communities are well underway says Mayor Larry Morrissey.

“From a practical standpoint, we’re already doing unified policing,” he told The Rock River Times Tuesday.

“We have a violent crime task force working in partnership with the FBI and local police to better serve the community.”

Morrissey says that efforts between the cities and the county government need to continue to make strides in these directions, particularly when it comes to reintroducing offenders into the population.

“If you’re looking at details of where the gaps are and where we’ve had problems dealing with violent crime it’s the disconnect between police, the courts and the community at large.”

But the mayor says that Connect Rockford, a program set to launch later in 2015 geared to addressing crime in a comprehensive manner, will be a key step towards better policing in Winnebago County.

“You can have all the law enforcement partnerships you want, but if you don’t address the underlying causes we’re going to continue to have these problems.”

Comptroller, AG say payments must stop.

Local leaders, groups: impact will hit home.

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

An 11th hour offer from the Illinois House of Representatives to keep state services online for additional 30 days was not enough to save the state from a government shutdown Tuesday.

While the House measure is expected to go through Wednesday morning, Governor Bruce Rauner’s office said the first-term Republican will

veto the bill, call it a “one-month Band-Aid” that doesn’t solve the state’s financial crisis.

“I would simply hope the governor would see the wisdom of continuing to keep the government functioning,” Speaker Mike Madigan (D, Chicago) said.

Commentary

Crime control is not the responsibility of landlords

By Paul Arena Rockford Apartment Association

L

ast week a fight at the Fairgrounds Housing Project was recorded by a person in the crowd and then the video was posted on social media. News media reported that the Rockford Housing Authority responded by stating that the individuals involved in the fight would be evicted. I have seen no report of the response by police. Were the people seen in the video that were violating the law charged with a crime?

The incident illustrates a contributing factor to why disruptive behavior is associated with rental property. If the renters who engage in minor criminal behavior are not held accountable by government then what deters them from again engaging in criminal conduct? In this situation, is eviction being used as the method of accountability rather than the criminal justice system?

Eviction is a legal procedure that provides a structure to end a business relationship. Just like divorce law provides a fair system to end a marriage, eviction law provides a fair system to end a contractual arrangement between a landlord and a tenant. The eviction laws were not intended to be a substitute for criminal justice.

To successfully get permission from the courts to terminate a contract and force a tenant to move, a landlord must prove the tenant did something wrong. The landlord can’t go to court and use second-hand evidence or hearsay that the tenant violated the lease. A landlord can personally testify that a tenant failed to pay rent

but a landlord can’t use as evidence that they were told the tenant committed a crime. Just like in the criminal courts, landlords must conduct a trial and prove the criminal behavior occurred.

For that reason removing tenants for behavior problems is very difficult.

When government delegates their responsibility to control crime onto landlords the result is often that nothing happens. If the tenant is not charged with a crime the landlord would have little chance of persuading the judge that the tenant committed a crime.

It gets even more complicated if the offender is only a member of the household, not a signer of the lease, because the offender will not be a party in the eviction action. This adds to the challenge of controlling behavior at rented property because without a criminal charge and no court record there is no information for future landlords to use in screening decisions to avoid behavior problems.

Relying on the eviction system instead of the criminal justice system only moves problem behavior to another neighborhood and does not address the behavior itself. The fact that our public policy relies on eviction as a remedy to problem behavior contributes to the disruptive environment around some rented property.

Keep this fact in mind when speaking with elected officials or public employees whose job it is to govern behavior and who suggest landlords should be the ones responsible to control their tenant’s behavior. Landlords have few options to control crime. Eviction is not a substitute for law enforcement.

‘Eviction is not a substitute for law enforcement.’

Energy & Environment

Global warming talks heating up

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

A

ware that it is a polarizing topic, Eric Snodgrass, from the Department of Atmospheric Studies at the University of Illinois, will present “peer-reviewed, scientifically accepted information” to help the audience “gain insight and clarity into the impacts of Earth’s changing climate” at the 14th Annual Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair on August 22-23 at the Ogle County Fairgrounds. Snodgrass is the director of undergraduate studies and co-founder of Global Weather and Climate Logistics, LLC. What has long been beyond dispute is that carbon dioxide levels are increasing. Since fossil fuels are largely composed of carbon, when they are burned much of the carbon ends up in the atmosphere. With over a trillion tons of carbon having been released into the atmosphere it is reasonable to expect there would be some impact on the world’s climate. Historical records confirm that carbon dioxide levels are correlated with temperature changes.

In addition to the science of global warming, political and economic issues are involved. According to Katrina Huevel, BP and

Royal Dutch Shell along with four other major European oil and gas companies endorsed an international price on carbon. They indicated a willingness to accept the challenge of meeting an increase Snodgrass in energy demand with less carbon. She also cites surveys indicating that as many as 71 percent of Americans acknowledge global warming is real.

While public opinion in support of addressing climate change is reassuring, the industry claims that fossil fuels are essential for meeting future energy needs. Dan Zegart reports that the industry has planned a global investment of $6 trillion in new fossil fuel extractions. The industry is advocating eliminating the ban on exporting US based oil which will favor continued fracking for oil. They also favor exporting natural gas from fracking.

Current efforts to address climate change are not seen as adequate and accelerated reductions including leaving large amounts of

WORKER’S COMPENSATION - PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

PETER ALEXANDER Attorney

Over 40 Years of Trial Experience

fossil fuels in the ground are seen as essential.

The UN meeting in December is expected to establish a long term global goal for carbon reductions. The Alliance for Small Island States, already experiencing more frequent storms and floods, are seeking carbon reductions to limit global temperature increases to 1.5oC. The Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean composed of nearly 1200 islands and atolls, is threatened with being inundated by rising oceans caused by global warming. It is possible that by 2020 this small nation with an average elevation of 1.5 meters will be completely covered by sea water. Upset by this threat posed by excess fossil fuel use, primarily by other nations,

the government and people have decided to lead the fight against global warming by example to become totally powered by renewable energy by 2020, the date at which they may no longer exist. Five islands are involved in the project, which started with solar panels installed on a school roof.

In the Caribbean, the Rocky Mountain Institute and the Carbon War Room are teaming to help islands transition to renewable energy.

Several other speakers have addressed the topic from different perspectives at previous Fairs. We expect that Snodgrass’ presentation on Saturday, August 22 will clarify and add to the understanding of this important topic.

Farming

Grain stocks and Eating local estimates bode well

By Grant McCarty

for your July 4

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

If you are planning any cookouts or meals for your Independence Day weekend, local foods can easily be added to the menu. At the farmers market this week, you might find cool season vegetables like kale, spinach, peas, lettuce, green onions, mustard greens, swiss chard, bok choy, and many others. Some growers may also still have rhubarb, strawberries, and asparagus available. Cabbage and new potatoes may be found which can mean you’ll be able to make cole slaw and potato salad. New potatoes are those that are harvested before the plant is fully ready to be harvested. It is still too early in our season for local tomatoes, sweet corn, and watermelon.

While I tend to discuss vegetables and fruits as eating local, you should consider local meats, bread, eggs, grains, and dairy products. These are foods that you can find almost year round. There are many businesses where you can purchase these items to truly make your meals more local. Farmers markets in our area will have vendors that sell these

SOUTH BELOIT ROCKTON ROSCOE ROCKTON TOWNSHIP

items. A grilled cheese burger made with local meat, cheese, and toppings could showcase the local foods of northern Illinois. When I talk about eating local, it shouldn’t be a practice only during the growing season but one throughout the year.

If you are not a cook, some restaurants in the Rockford area use local ingredients.

During the summer, these restaurants are highlighting local produce in many items.

A single dish might contain many different ingredients from different farms. Some restaurants will list what farm the food is coming from. By listing the farms, you can seek them out to purchase your own. If you are cooking a meal, I suggest letting your guests know where the ingredients are coming from. It’s a great educational tool in letting others know that good, locally produced food is being grown in their “backyard”.

Fire up that grill and enjoy your holiday weekend by eating local. A simple trip to the farmers market can give you all the ingredients that you need to celebrate the 4th with food grown and raised on northern Illinois farms.

Stateline Mass Transit offers smart, innovative transit solutions to the communities of South Beloit, Rockton, Roscoe and Rockton Township.

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The just-released USDA Grain Stocks and Acreage reports provide some important fundamental information for the corn and soybean markets going into the most critical part of the growing season. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the estimate of June 1 stocks is most important for corn because it reveals the magnitude of feed and residual use during the previous quarter.

“This year, however, the soybean stocks estimate is of more interest than usual because both the Dec. 1, 2014, and March 1, 2015, stocks estimates revealed an unusually large residual disappearance in the first half of the year and hinted that the 2014 crop may have been overestimated,” Good said. “The June acreage estimates are always important because they differ from intentions in the March Prospective Plantings report and provide an update of production prospects. The estimates are of extreme interest this year due to the seeming under-statement of total crop acreage in the March intentions report and the delay in soybean planting. That delay, however, also creates more than the usual uncertainty about how final planted and harvested acreage estimates will compare to June intentions.”

June 1 corn stocks were estimated at 4.447 billion bushels, 595 million larger than stocks of a year earlier, but 108 million less than the average trade guess.

“The stocks estimate implies that feed and residual use of corn during the third quarter of the marketing year totaled 1.148 billion bushels, 289 million more than during the same quarter last year and the most since 2010,” Good said. “Use during the fourth quarter needs to total only 434 million bushels for use for the year to reach the current USDA projection of 5.25 billion bushels. That is only 23 million more than the use in that quarter last year and less than the use during that quarter in 2010 and 2011. Even with an increase in wheat feeding this summer, the larger inventory of broilers, dairy cows, and hogs suggests that feed and residual use could be 50 million bushels larger than currently projected by the USDA, resulting in slightly smaller year-ending inventories.”

June 1 stocks of soybeans were estimated at 625 million bushels, 220 million larger than stocks of a year ago, but 45 million bushels less than the average trade guess.

“The stocks estimate means that seed and residual use of soybeans during the first three quarters of the marketing year was about 300

million bushels, which is about 100 million bushels above the average of the past five years,” Good said. “The stocks estimate then reaffirms expectations that the 2014 crop was overestimated and that year-end stocks will be much lower than the current 330 million bushel USDA projection.”

Planted and intended acreage of corn is now estimated at 88.897 million acres, 302,000 less than March intentions and 395,000 less than the average trade guess.

The forecast of acreage harvested for grain is at 81.101 million acres, about 600,000 acres less than forecast in the June World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report and 2.035 million less than harvested last year.

“With a U.S. average yield near our current expectation of 165 bushels, the 2015 crop would total 13.382 billion bushels, 834 million bushels smaller than the 2014 harvest,” Good said. “A crop of that size would point to 201516 marketing-year ending stocks of about 1.4 billion bushels, 400 million less than likely stocks at the end of the current marketing year. The stocks-to-use ratio would decline to about 10 percent. Obviously, the size of next year’s surplus could deviate substantially from this projection, depending on the strength of demand, the actual U.S. average yield, and the final estimates of harvested acreage.

“It is useful to note that the final estimate of planted acreage was less than the June estimate in 14 of the past 19 years,” Good said. “Even in years when acreage exceeded the June estimate, the largest deviation was only 886,000 acres.”

Planted and intended acreage of soybeans is estimated at 85.139 million acres, 504,000 larger than March intentions and 1.438 million more than planted last year.

“The estimate was very close to the average trade guess,” Good said. “Harvested acreage is forecast at 84.449 million acres, 749,000 more than projected in the June WASDE report and 1.388 million more than harvested last year.

The forecast reflects a relatively small acreage abandonment of only 690,000 acres. Because considerable soybean acreage was not yet planted at the time of the survey for the June acreage estimates, the soybean estimate likely reflects a larger percentage of intentions than is normally the case.

Good concluded that while considerable uncertainty will persist for the next three months, today’s USDA reports substantially increase the odds that the average farm price will be above $4 for the 2015-16 marketing year and that the average soybean price will once again be near $10.

Summer Starlight Theatre shows sparkle

By Richard Gubbe and Rachel Gubbe

Memphis

Contributors

Timeless and timely are intertwined in the fabric of all four Starlight Theatre performances at Rock Valley College this summer.

The first run of each of the four shows again exhibited the diversity of talent from this area and the willingness of Director Mike Webb to deliver difficult and sometimes sensitive scripts with top-notch skill.

He didn’t shy away from the challenging hits of “Mary Poppins,” Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein,’” the current award-winning hit “Memphis,” and the reality check content of “The Last Five Years.”

Mary Poppins

A wide range of talent is needed to pull off a stage version of “Mary Poppins.” Bringing in Samantha Owen to play Mary was a coup for Webb. Her top-of-the-world vocal skills combined with vibrant sets and flying routines bring the musical to life.

Owen, a RVC grad who also graduated from the American Musical Dramatic Academy in New York, took time from performing in New York to return to Starlight Theatre. Owen was in “Phantom of the Opera” for Starlight in 2011 and her New York achievements have included “Forbidden Broadway,” “Chess,” “Children of Eden,” “Broadway’s Rising Stars” and “Broadway by the Year.”

RVC’s Mary Poppins is an engaging show like no other. Soaring props and a flying Miss Poppins deliver the magic. Webb has a cast consisting of 45 fantastic actors, all playing huge roles that include toys and statues coming to life. The altered script from the movie provides a whole new experience.

The live music, provided by Musical Director Steve Wolfgram and his orchestra, is magnificent. The cast if filled with talented singers, most notably Peyton Schoenhofer, playing the role of Bert, and Rose McGregor, playing Mrs. Corry.

Both have amazing range and control. McGregor also is appearing in Starlight’s fourth show of the season, “Young Frankenstein.”

Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s classic has delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven TONY Awards.

From “Supercalifradgulisticxpealidocious” to “Jolly Holiday,” the musical, based on the books

by P.L. Travers, will let you wander through the world of endless possibilities.

Rose McGregor, Charlie Rasmann and Eric Wilson roll in the hay in “Young Frankenstein” at RVC’s Starlight Theatre.

Young Frankenstein

Read no further unless you think sex can be funny. Young Frankenstein delivers more laughs scene after scene than any comedy film transformed into a musical. This show takes the 1970s cult classic film further into the depths of sexual innuendo through song from the twisted mind of Mel Brooks. When Brooks went back and added music to his genius movie, he created a monster adult hit.

The film-favorite double entendres are delivered crisply by Webb’s group of characters that befit those of the long list of stars in the film. The fact that casting had to be a nachtmare and finding area singers, dancers and actors necessary to pull off what’s inside Transylvania mania is quite an accomplishment.

The live orchestra synchronizes streams of energy to pump up the monster-size voices. Performers for every song are superb, led by none other than Frederick Frankenstein, pronounced Fronkenshteeen, played by the multi-faceted Charlie Rasmann. He takes to Gene Wilder’s character with ease and adds a booming voice to his timely wit and banter.

Two scintillating female voices grace the stage. Charlie’s wife in real life, Stephanie Rasmann, plays his fiancé Elizabeth. She surpasses Madeline Kahn from the film with her rich, intense voice and doesn’t disappoint with “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life.” Rose McGregor is superb as Teri Garr’s Inga, not only looking like her

but singing with depth, clarity and power. Her vocals, quips and footwork are sensational.

Nathan S. Forrester turns in a phenomenal portrayal of Peter Boyle’s monster, and the only regret is that he doesn’t get to sing more. Perhaps the funniest role is delivered by none other than Eric Wilson. He mimics Marty Feldman’s Igor, that’s pronounced, ‘eye-gore’, in voice, movements and walking THIS way.

Perhaps the most challenging scene is the four-person dance and comedy shtick of “Puttin’ On the Ritz” with Inga, Igor, Frederick and The Monster tap dancing with a precise, Vaudevillian flair.

Frau Blucher, (whinny included) is splendidly played by Shawna Bartimoccia.

Frau, along with The Hermit (Jack Hill), and Inspector Kemp (Don Stein), execute timely laughter in their key roles. Bartimoccia rivals Cloris Leachman in the film and lovingly echoes “He Vas My Boyfriend.”

The show also features other engaging dance routines, highlighted by “Transylvania Mania” that shows off intricate work involving most of the 30-plus-member cast. The playful number is challenging and satisfying, but beware, the characters also dart through the audience for even more frightful fun.

“Young Frankenstein” provides the most hilarity at Starlight this summer.

The show picks up again July 29 and runs through August 2.

Not short on comedy either, this historical profile of the racial struggles in Memphis in the 1950s charts both progress made and not made in society. The harsh reality is transformed into humor and delivered in a sensitive way.

The dancing in “Memphis” needs to be and is superb and the voices of the two main characters challenge those of the national touring show that came to the Coronado last March. Ray Fanara far exceeds the offering of Huey Calhoun from the national company.

Jayla Williams-Craig delivers a powerful performance as Felicia in her first Starlight show, her strong bluesy voice resonating throughout the campus.

The humor is provided by Calhoun’s mother Gladys, a prodigious performance by Janet Bracken, and from Bobby, playfully assumed

by Jaylen Marks, who also appears in “Young Frankenstein.”

When Calhoun falls into success playing rhythm and blues at a white station, all hell breaks loose. Echoes of the messages from the 1950s ring true as the country embraces R&B to prove that music knows no barriers. And the messages are clearly heard.

The only ingredient needed for this show would be bigger crowds to enjoy it. “Memphis” returns July 22-26.

Last Five Years

A poignant and somber introspective, the acting and voices of “The Last Five Years” are well matched. Some say it’s best to see the movie first to understand all the complexities involved. The content is timely to the lives of many or someone they know.

Jason’s Brown’s modern musical, rated PG, chronicles the life of a marriage from meeting to break-up and from break-up to meeting. Karen Manley Kahler is Cathy and Matt Myers is Jaime in Starlight’s smallest cast ever.

The woman evolves from an ambitious, fresh-faced girl in a new relationship to a woman stunned by a betrayal and a divorce that she is only beginning to understand. Her love interest is an ambitious guy on a promising first date with a dazzling career to someone who is blinded by success and ego. He is very lovable, yet makes unintentional choices that sabotages his own happiness.

“The Last Five Years” returns July 15.

Tube Talk

Fireworks for the Fourth

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

I

don’t recall if my childhood dog, Sarg, actually didn’t mind Fourth of July Fireworks, or if we were having so much fun we didn’t notice how he reacted to the screeches and booms of fireworks. I recall Sarg hiding under my bed a few times, but he wasn’t the type of dog you’d really want to bother if he was scared or angry. He was small, cute, and anything but cuddly.

Our next dog, big old Bear, was three times Sarg’s size and quaked at the sound of garbage trucks. He was beside himself during storms or fireworks. One year he curled up on the sofa with me and he couldn’t stop trembling. He was so big he pretty much had me pinned to the back of the sofa. When I tried to get up he’d whimper or whine and get super clingy. We spent the better part of the afternoon huddled on the sofa, Bear flinching at every pop or boom he heard. But it was the high-pitched screech

of the skyrockets that upset him most of all.

Bear was so freaked out by the Fourth of July we tried not to leave him home alone very long. Dad did an annual breakfast in the park, so Bear had to endure being on his own for a couple hours in the morning, but the bigger blasts usually didn’t really get going until the afternoon.

My current dog, Lily, is also spooked by loud booms – even now that her hearing isn’t so great she can still feel the percussive force of the city’s downtown fireworks. She’s already a bit high strung, so I try not to leave her alone on the Fourth, either. I keep the windows closed, run the window air conditioner if it’s warm enough out, have the ceiling fan whirling away and leave the TV on.

Guess what show she doesn’t seem to mind? WTVO’s annual simulcast of the Rockford’s official fireworks show. Strange, huh?

That’s my dog. Gotta love her.

I figured it out a couple years ago after a group of neighboring

trees grew tall enough to obscure our view of all but the highest of Rockford’s official fireworks.

Maybe Lily connects the vibrations of the booms with the images on the TV, but she doesn’t try to hide or cower anymore. She usually grabs a chew toy, stretches out under the ceiling fan and gnaws her anxieties away while facing the TV. Even the toughest dog can be a big fraidycat on the Fourth of July. If you don’t want to leave them alone, but don’t want to miss the fireworks, why not give WTVO’s A Celebration of Freedom a try this year?

If your dog still freaks out from the sound, you can always mute the TV and play some soothing music.

A Celebration of Freedom airs live, July 4 starting at 8:00 p.m. on WTVO.

Jurassic World worth the wait for loyal fans

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

F

ilms that languish in development hell tend to stay there for good reason. A fourth entry in the Jurassic Park series was intended to start production in 2004 with a 2005 release. It would take ten years, numerous cast changes and many script rewrites before a follow-up to the dismal Jurassic Park III would be released.

And it looks like it may have been worth the wait as Jurassic World has broken box office records by raking in over $500 million in its opening weekend. After careful consideration, will I decide to endorse this park?

Despite the initial attraction failing to open its gates to the public, Jurassic World presents John Hammond’s dream in all its glory. The park has been open for a decade and is popular though maybe not as much as would be expected. The park’s operations manager Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) is concerned with falling attendances and that dinosaurs have lost their wow factor.

After data suggests that gates spiked when a new attraction is released, the park’s owner Simon Marsani (Irrfan Khan) tasks Dr. Henry Wu (B.D. Wong), the park’s chief geneticist, to create a hybrid dinosaur, something that will give parents nightmares. Claire and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), a velociraptor expert, are instructed to assess Indominus Rex (part T-Rex, part classified) before it’s deemed suitable for public viewing. This being a Jurassic Park film, the dinosaur naturally escapes and starts eating visitors at the earliest opportunity. It’s made personal for Claire as her two nephews are

missing on the island.

Whereas the first two Jurassic Park sequels were criticized for rehashing the first film, Jurassic World has its own ideas. With the exception of Wong, the film features none of the original cast, and although a cameo would have been nice, in the end it’s not needed as the new stars are more than capable of leading the charge.

There were clips in the trailer that suggested that Owen could control raptors and would lead an army of them to fight Indominus Rex. While that’s not false, it’s not as ridiculous in the final product.

That’s not to say the script is bursting with believable credibility.

Jurassic World is concerned with presenting science as fact. The

film has been criticized by palaeontologists for its inaccurate depiction of dinosaurs, especially in light of new discoveries. As director Colin Treverrow argues, he made a science fiction film, not a documentary.

In the realm of Jurassic World, this is the science of how things work and it sticks to its own rules.

There were also accusations of sexism regarding the depiction of Claire. Again, this came about from the trailer but in context, she is the film’s hero. Owen may be the action man, but Claire is driven by the motivation to save her family and isn’t going to back down from the challenge. In the end she proves that she’s the one in charge, it’s Claire that concocts the insanely dangerous plan to save them all.

The bigger the risk, the more satisfying the reward.

Jurassic World is a lot of fun. It’s big and exciting though too distressing and gory for very young audiences. The pteranodon scene is Hitchcock on steroids and has an unashamedly B movie feel to it which is incredibly thrilling.

What is disappointing is the special effects. It’s been over two decades since Steven Spielberg opened the park’s doors for the first time and it’s against this film that any sequel will be judged on. Treverrow relies too much on CGI and virtual camera angles, however he has crafted an exhilarating and intense blockbuster that is arguably the best entry to the series since the first one. Jurassic World is open for business, and business has just picked up.

OSF St. Anthony’s Medical Center infuses local artists in summer activities

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

T

here’s nothing like a picnic lunch to signify the good ol’ summertime. That’s exactly what OSF Saint Anthony is providing for their staff every Wednesday through the middle of August. What makes it even better is music from local musicians. Artists lending their talent include: Paul Pena, Morgan Walker and Lauren Bear, Tom Mac, Cole Brandt, Jon and Thad, and Elena and Sophia Gottlick.

At their recent groundbreaking OSF enlisted the talent of Tabatha Dougherty, 317 Studio and Gallery artist and co-owner, to add an artistic touch to the shovels used for the momentous.

Words including, “Collaborative” and “Community” were inscribed as depictions of what this project means to OSF. The new addition will include 78 rooms for medical and surgical beds and converting semi-private to private. 700 construction jobs will be created for the project that will have an opening date in early 2018. It would be a great opportunity to show further commitment to the local art scene if OSF would purchase original works for the rooms and hallways.

“OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center is a strong supporter of the Rockford Area Arts Council and programs that educate and enhance

the well-being and cultural betterment of the Rockford region for our citizens, as well as our employees. We’re proud to do our part to make sure our vibrant arts community remains that way,” said Mike Robinson, Director of Marketing and Communications.

RAAC loves finding paying gigs for artists, it is after all part of our mission. It’s especially rewarding when representatives from organizations come up with the idea themselves, like Robinson did. Rockford is fortunate to have a very giving business community when it comes to sponsorships and grants, but it truly enriches our community when they have access to our artists. Relationships build in this process and the arts and artists increase in value.

We are happy to help individuals, organizations and businesses connect with artists, we are working to grow our artists directory online at artsforeveryone.com and would gladly share arts events on our Facebook page at RAAC Rockford Area Arts Council. There are so many talented artists in our community, I encourage you to reach out and explore, whether you are hiring them or simply showing your support at various venues around the region. There is rarely a day in any given week that doesn’t have a variety of amazing arts offerings. Explore and enjoy!

Fly over to the Poplar Grove Wings and Wheels Museum benefit

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

The 9th Annual Wings and Wheels Festival takes off July 18, featuring all models of cars and trucks, motorcycles, a variety of airplanes and antique tractors, complete with a tractor pull. Enjoy kid’s activities and museum tours as well at 5151 Orth Road, Poplar Grove. Admission is family friendly at only $5, with 10-years-olds and younger free of charge. Come rain or shine.

Rockford Brewing Company (RBC) signed on as a coordinator and lunch sponsor, providing fine brews, pulled pork, brats, hot dogs and chips. RBC brought Stockholm Inn aboard for breakfast, offering an 8 a.m. to noon serving of Swedish pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon. Coley’s Cooler will be providing ice cream treats.

Forcaraficionados,comeandseevintagePorsches, Corvettes, Mustangs (yes, muscle cars, you hot-rodders) and of course the famous Ford Model A and Model T and other vintage vehicles. Jack Cadwell Productions will coordinate the car and truck show.

Look for Allis-Chalmers, J.I. Case, John Deere, Farmall, Minneapolis-Moline, Olivers and Cockshutt and other tractors.

For airplane buffs, bi-plane rides by biplanesofamerica.com will be available, plus displays of a variety of vintage single and double-engine, privately-owned planes. The REACT helicopter may be viewed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The museum offers the history of 50-plus-year-old facility. The main building is the Waukesha Hangar that was the county airport building for Milwaukee.

It was built with a WPA grant in 1937. Rather than let it be torn down, the Popular Grove activists had it dismantled brick by brick and reconstructed it on Orth Road in the late 1990s. Investigate the museum’s flight simulator and library for more adventure and history.

Besides the main museum building, three other hangars are on the complex. The Hamilton Hangar is the smallest of the three, representative of the bi-plane era from Milwaukee. The Springfield Hangar, opened in the late 1920s and was acquired from the city of its name. The newest hangar was built two years ago, and is used for restorations and the home of the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association.

Slim’s Garage houses vehicles from the 1940s, complete with antique tools, and a 1920s Sunoco Gas station is also on the grounds.

Sponsors of the July 18 festival are RBC, Wallem Associates, Alpine Bank, Boone County Family Restaurant, Rezich & Rezich, Hyde Out Bar & Grill, Edwards Apple Orchard, IntCon, Inc., Lamonica Beverages, The Rock River Times and Reinhart Foodservice.

Part of the proceeds benefit the Popular Grove Aviation Education Assoc., a 501c3 corporation, for outreach to area schools and annual scholarship awards to students seeking degrees and certifications in aviation and automotive industries.

slavery, racism and segregation confined people of color to the lowest rung on the social ladder, cannabis use has been (incorrectly and stereotypically) tied to race for centuries.

Yes, marijuana prohibition began with clear racial undertones, reflecting the views of 1930s US society.

But even a 2005 textbook used race to describe the drug’s introduction to America. “Hemp had been grown […] for a long time, but this had not led to an awareness of its psycho-active potential, at least in the white population,” the author wrote. “Black slaves, however, knew of it […from] back in Africa.”

Relying upon race to explain drug use clouds the social contexts that encourage drug use. And the people who first used marijuana in the US – which included all races, black, white or otherwise – were those confined to socioeconomic margins.

Despite periodic popularity in middle and upper classes since the 1960s, marijuana remains primarily a drug used by people at society’s margins. “Medical” marijuana serves people whose health-care needs aren’t met by mainstream institutions.

“Recreational” use is most frequent among young, poor and unemployed people. Whether labeled medicine or recreation, marijuana has, for centuries, appealed to people coping

with physical or mental stress (even if those difficulties might be shrouded in good vibes and giggles).

With the rates of legal and illegal drug use in the US – especially marijuana – higher than in most countries, it’s important for people to question and challenge the conditions that help perpetuate this dependence, and not just challenge the legality of one drug option.

Decriminalization might overthrow decades-long problems of prohibition. But it hardly acknowledges the centuries-long history of racism and elitism that has helped sustain marijuana use, and the biased responses to it.

What can be done? Society should explicitly link causes of marijuana use to the consequences of decriminalization. Decriminalized marijuana markets generate tax revenues. Some of this money should be spent to challenge institutional racism, by improving mental and physical health services in poorer neighborhoods and training police to avoid racial bias.

Marijuana is joining alcohol, tobacco and various prescription drugs as legal means for people to cope with the difficult realities of daily life. Right now, society has a brief opportunity to address meaningfully the social problems marijuana represents, and shouldn’t let this opportunity slip away.

SCOTUS

The surprises in the Court’s gay marriage decision

By Danaya Wright

U of Florida School of Law

T

he Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v Hodges fulfilled predictions that the court would affirm marriage equality nationwide as a fundamental constitutional right.

However, the case also offered a few surprises and a few disappointments.

To understand those, one needs to put the decision into its historical and legal frameworks.

Gay rights and equal protection

As the gay rights movement began to flourish in the years after the Stonewall riots of 1969, states started decriminalizing same-sex intimate relations. And as that happened, gay couples sought greater and greater legal protections against discrimination.

Most of these efforts, however, were initially rejected by state courts and state legislatures, including all efforts to obtain equal marriage rights.

From sacrament In 1972, in Baker v Nelson, the to contract Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal For centuries of Western history, from a Minnesota Supreme Court the question of who controls the legal decision upholding a Minnesota law aspects of marriage has been highly defining marriage as between a man and contested. a woman, on the grounds that it did not Until the 16th century, the Catholic present a federal question.

rights issue in Baker, making marriage in this case a nonfundamental right.

Ultimately, there is a further question to be asked. Surely a state may impose limitations on certain marriages without running afoul of the Constitution, such as when it prohibits marriages between minors or coerced marriages?

The underlying question in all of these marriage cases, in other words, is figuring out when a state’s regulation of marriage is a permissible regulation that furthers important public policies, and when it is an infringement of the fundamental right to marry.

In Obergefell, the majority opinion resolved this tension in favor of Loving, and expressly reversed Baker. But not without controversy.

As the dissenters argued, Loving merely held that traditional marriage (ie, between a man and a woman) cannot be denied on the basis of race. It did not hold that any arrangement that someone wanted to call a “marriage” carries constitutional protections.

But Chief Justice Roberts opined that the majority’s decision about the dignity of marriage applied with equal force to plural marriages. He said: “It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage.”

Although the decision in Obergefell merely adds same-sex marriages between two consenting adults to the category of marriages protected as a fundamental right, because they are so closely akin to opposite-sex marriages, the chief justice is not off base to recognize that raising marriage to a fundamental right raises the specter of constitutional protections for polygamy.

Opening the equal protection door

At the same time the Supreme Court was developing its robust theory of personal liberties, it was also mapping out a robust theory of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment that carefully scrutinized state or federal laws that “classified” people by race, gender, age, alien status, illegitimacy and other immutable characteristics.

Since the 1990s, there has been a strong push by gay-rights advocates to have sexual minorities recognized as a

so-called “suspect class” deserving of heightened protections because they have been historically subject to legal and social discrimination.

Just as laws infringing upon fundamental rights are carefully scrutinized by the court, laws that disadvantage certain groups have also been carefully scrutinized by the court under the Fourteenth Amendment’s prohibition against denying people the equal protection of the laws.

Laws mandating racial segregation or denying women equal educational opportunities have been struck down on the grounds that race and gender classifications in law do not serve a compelling public purpose.

If sexual minorities were recognized as a suspect class, like racial minorities, then laws treating them differently from the majority population would likely be struck down as unconstitutional.

In all prior gay-rights decisions, however, the Supreme Court has refused to take up the possibility of recognizing sexual minorities as a suspect classification.

This is why the biggest surprise in Obergefell was Justice Kennedy’s discussion – albeit brief – of the equal protection implications of same-sex marriage bans.

Justice Kennedy explored the possibility that sexual minorities have equal protection rights when he stated: “It is now clear that the challenged laws burden the liberty of samesex couples, and it must be further acknowledged that they abridge central precepts of equality. Here the marriage laws enforced by the respondents are in essence unequal: same-sex couples are denied all the benefits afforded to opposite-sex couples and are barred from exercising a fundamental right.

Especially against a long history of disapproval of their relationships, this denial to same-sex couples of the right to marry works a grave and continuing harm. The imposition of this disability on gays and lesbians serves to disrespect and subordinate them. And the Equal Protection Clause, like the Due Process Clause, prohibits this unjustified infringement of the fundamental right to marry.”

I predict that it is this passage from Obergefell that will have the most significant legal effect. Its implication is

that laws cannot disadvantage gay and lesbian people in their exercise of fundamental liberties, which include not just marriage, but also their rights to safety, employment, housing and educational opportunities.

The fact is that to date, most states do not include provisions in their state laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The dissenters

Not surprisingly, the four conservatives of the court issued dissents that focused their criticism primarily on the judicial activism of the majority and – as they see it – the blows to democracy and states’ rights that occur when the court affirms any individual right as deserving of constitutional protections.

Of course, any time a court strikes down legislation, it is engaging in anti-majoritarian law-making. But that is the point of the Bill of Rights - to protect individuals from the “tyranny of the majority.”

And the losers in this debate are already gearing up to represent the issue as one of religious liberties caught in the crossfire.

The majority opinion acknowledged the rights of those who disapprove of same-sex marriage to continue to believe that homosexuality is a sin. Nor are religious groups obliged to perform same-sex marriages. Justice Kennedy explains that, “The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered.”

But he also acknowledged that their First Amendment rights do not allow them to impose their views on the rest of the population through the coercive arm of the law.

As the religious battleground heats up, the real question, to my mind, is going to be whether the conservatives on the court are willing to maintain the separation of church and state mandated by the First Amendment, which places marriage firmly in the side of secular law.

Smoking bans a breath of fresh air to some, infuriating to others

From Northern Illinois University Today, when the campus of Northern Illinois University – and every other public college and university in the state – becomes smoke-free, it will be a victory for cleaner air and healthier living … or an assault on basic civil liberties, depending upon who you listen to.

The move to a smoke-free campus is in accordance with a bill signed into law last year.

According to the policy adopted by NIU to comply with that law, smoking will be prohibited on all campus property, both indoors and outdoors and in university-owned vehicles. The only exception is an allowance for individuals to smoke in private vehicles, provided that they are not parked in the parking deck. The ban includes all forms of smoking, including electronic cigarettes.

A website devoted to explaining NIU’s compliance with the law has been established.

It includes information on smoking cessation resources available to faculty, staff and students, as well as answers to frequently asked questions.

Many people on campus are cheering the change, but few more adamantly than Regina Whitmore Shaefer , a Ph.D. candidate and adjunct faculty in the College of Health and Human Sciences. Her “day job” is serving as director of tobacco control for the American Academy of Pediatrics, where her duties include researching and creating policies like the one taking effect at campuses across the state.

As someone who earned a bachelor of science in art history from NIU in 1993 and then returned to complete her master’s degree in public health, Whitmore Shaefer is well aware of the smoking climate on campus. During her time as a student and instructor on campus, she has frequently had to navigate clouds of smoke and doorways littered with cigarette butts. The new law, which replaces the current regulation allowing smoking beyond 15 feet of doorways, will be easier to enforce, create a healthier atmosphere and be a more effective tool for changing campus culture, Whitmore Shaefer believes.

“Limited bans are ineffective,” she says flatly.

“They are largely ignored and difficult to enforce. Also, students, faculty, staff and visitors who want to breathe clean are still exposed to second-hand smoke.”

Total bans are also more effective at influencing desired behaviors, she believes. “Complete bans are a way of supporting healthy choices.

It is saying that we want our faculty, staff and students to be as healthy as possible.”

Whitmore Shaefer points out that this generation of students can scarcely recall a time when there were not bans on smoking in most public spaces such as stores, theatres, bars and restaurants. Evidence suggests that such measures (along with increased education about the dangers of smoking and increasingly higher

taxes on tobacco) have had an impact. According to Gallup polls, the number of Americans who smoke had dropped by more than half over the last several decades – from a near peak of 43 percent in 1971 down to 20 percent in in 2013.

The pollsters found that number of cigarettes smoked per smoker has also decreased. In the mid-1970s, about two-thirds of smokers smoked a pack or more per day. By 2012, 68 percent reported smoking less than a pack a day, and only 1 percent said they smoked more than one pack.

Those who continue to smoke increasingly feel under attack by regulations like the one that takes effect today. That includes smokers at NIU. Comments submitted to the task force that created the NIU policy included many from smokers who were angry. Of particular concern was an early draft of the policy which forbade smoking even in private vehicles.

Such comments were so prevalent that the committee eliminated that restriction from the policy.

Many others maintained that their personal freedoms were being infringed upon. However, courts have repeatedly ruled that there is no right – constitutional or otherwise – to smoke.

Among the arguments rejected by the courts have been efforts to toss out smoking bans on the grounds that those addicted to nicotine are handicapped, therefore making bans discriminatory. The courts have also sided with the right of employers to create and implement smoking restrictions on their property.

More recently, in 2011, a Missouri man’s attempt to strike down an outdoor smoking ban was thrown out. The circuit court ruled that the town in question had a rational basis to restrict smoking, namely, to preserve and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.

Derryl Block, dean of the NIU College of Health and Human Sciences, who chaired the task force, says that she can appreciate that smokers are upset, as they bear the brunt of the

new state law. However, she is hopeful that for some the cloud may have a silver lining.

“We heard from several smokers who said that this might be the thing that gets them to quit,” Block says. “If this really encourages them to reduce their smoking or quit, the short term cost to smokers could lead to long term health benefits.”

(Indeed, a 1992 memo from cigarette producer Phillip Morris found that smokers who work in places that prohibit smoking smoke 11-15 percent less than average and quit at a rate that is 84 percent higher than average.)

NIU law professor Dan Reynolds describes himself an “addicted smoker,” but recognizes the potential value of the ban.

“Among the many regrets I have collected over the decades is that I came of age when smoking was the coolest thing a kid could possibly do,” Reynolds says. “I am paying the price for that bit of social mores setting today, and I am actually happy to spare the kids coming up today from that result. Scorn and isolation are one way to deal with addiction and admittedly have some effect – particularly discouraging newcomers to the trade,” he says.

While the ban will make his own life a little more difficult, Reynolds says that he supports the ban and believes that in the long run, the benefits outweight the costs. “In my book, the public health and socialization issues should trump everything else,” he says. “If Irish pubs can survive without the fog of cigarettes (and French outdoor cafes are heading in the same direction), I somehow think that NIU will manage quite nicely.”

She wrote Theater reviews for the Rock River Times and a huge supporter of theater and arts, especially the Artists Ensemble. Edith loved to travel all around the United States as well as to Mexico and Europe. She enjoyed visiting the cabin at Little Spider Lake in the Northwoods.

Edith loved her family and was a great advocate for whoever and whatever she loved.

Survived by her children, William (Ann) Gregory, Mary (Dave) Kilty and Kevin (Cheryl)

McCauley; siblings, Ruth (Arthur) Deem, Helen Shierry, Carol (Phil) Blankenburg and Tom

(Mary) Corl; grandchildren, Todd Gregory, Elizabeth (Christopher) Patterson and Lindsey (Ryan) Thompson; great-grandchildren, Wesley, Henry and Charley Thompson and baby girl Patterson on the way; numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, Nellie and Floyd, partner for 30 years, Julian Swain, husband, Jim McCauley, former husband and father of William and Mary, Glenn Gregory, stepchildren, Eileen McCauley and Mike McCauley and infant brother, Charles.

Memorial gathering will be from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 2, 2015 at Fitzgerald Funeral Home & Crematory, Mulford Chapel, 1860 S. Mulford Road with a time of sharing at 6:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Artists Ensemble, PO Box 1684, Rockford, Illinois 61110-0184.

Editor remembers McCauley’s critical kindness “Edith McCauley wrote more than 170 theater reviews for the this paper that I could count online, and I’m sure that’s a low number. She loved theater, and she loved her man.

“Julian Swain was an accomplished and wellknown dancer, choreographer, actor and singer.

They were a perfect match in their vocations and devotions. They were an unusual couple, Always speaking very clearly, Julian was poised and graceful his sparkling African couture, and Edith quietly and firmly presented her passion for history, education and the stage as a white-haired school teacher raised in Jane Addam’s hometown of Cedarville.

“They loved laughter, good performances,

17

books, wine, an apartment in Chicago, a lake cottage in Wisconsin, and most of all each other.

“Edith had a genuine kindness about her, drawing people to her by offering her best which was plentiful.

“We were so lucky to have her as a critic. She never wrote The New York Times’ style of a ‘chainsaw review.’ She always looked for the best in a production, despite it’s flaws. She loved helping small companies.

“She knew all of Rockford’s large exports to Broadway, the management of Chicago’s and regional theaters, and was liked and welcomed by all. I never heard a person say a mean word about

her, and she would simply roll her sparkling eyes if something didn’t meet her standards, which were very forgiving.

“Dinner at her home equaled a privilege, where her deck floated as her outside heaven, and her garden below grew her joy. She always had great stories.

“You can’t miss Edith without missing Julian, and I’ll always miss them both. Edith always brought a smile and a gift of kind art to our office, and I will always find a smile in all of my memories of her advocacy of learning, creativity and a sense of fun. That’s why I always called her ‘Shmedith,’ and then she’d laugh.”

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of July 1-7, 2015

This Week: The full moon in Capricorn July 1 will tend to deliver extreme behavior fluctuating from one end of the spectrum to another. If you find yourself bouncing from laughter to tears without much provocation this will most likely be the reason why. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, many times bottled up emotions need a release valve.

Unfortunately others may find relief with misdirected anger. Keep that in mind as you navigate through the week ahead. Avoid those with a road rage mentality and try to keep a low profile until this astrological storm blows over.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July everyone.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Romance packs a major punch this week. Many of you may find you’re in a position to pick from two options at this time. Don’t just settle for what may be the easiest aspect, explore all of your alternatives before making a final decision. Look at this as a lifetime opportunity instead of a quick fix. In the long run you will be in the right place at the right time Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— A surprise message from far away has you ready to board a plane, train or automobile to arrive at this

destination. Pull yourself together and lay out a plan, you may be needed down the road instead of right this minute. Business is off the charts with activity midweek, take care that you don’t burn yourself out at this time Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A new form of physical activity becomes addictive for you at this time. You are becoming very aware of your body and the messages it sends. You’re leaving behind old worn-out energy draining habits and moving into a new realm at this time. Midweek there is an offer to take on an additional work project. Although you may feel as though you can’t take on any more do it anyways. You won’t be disappointed Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Getting together with old friends and loved ones is exactly what the doctor ordered at this time. You may have found yourself stuck in a rut as of late.

Now you need to break up the monotony and do something spontaneous. Friday some unusual information arrives that may be a bit of a shock.

Keep this to yourself until you get the rest of the story Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Lead by example, it may not be clear now but you have made a powerful impact on someone younger or weaker than you are at this time. You have the ability to offer something to strive for, someone to look up to. Take this assignment seriously, this is a karmic test that you can pass with flying colors Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Watch your temper this week, many annoying frustrations have you hanging on by a thread emotionally. Try

More news & sports

RockRiverTimes.com facebook.com/rockrivertimes Twitter: @rockrivertimes

not to take this out on your loved ones or animals.

They are in your life to create a sense of peace and to allow you to feel loved. Try meditation or gentle exercise to alleviate stress. Saturday brings some relief to these overwhelming complications of life. A quiet humorous evening out appears to glue you back together Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Romance is very important to you at this time and strong values are attached to this encounter. As you attempt to process old wounds and mistakes, don’t beat yourself up over the past. Every step we take leads us into the here and now.

It makes us who we are today. In other words, regret nothing and your future will make room for success Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — There is no reason that anyone needs to choose sides when it comes to friends or family matters. You have the right to have relationships with those from all sides of the spectrum without being judged or chastised for it. Be cautious that no one is putting you in the position of isolation as a form of control. Aspects like these don’t always happen in the beginning, they tend to sneak up on you over time. Watch for red flags Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — The focus is on a small child or animal this week. Changes need to be considered so that there will be room for improvement. Tone down the masculine energy around you, a softer more sensitive approach will work better for you or your loved ones around you. You may need to be the peace maker this week in some way, shape or form. Do

not add fuel to the fire Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — The heaviness around you begins to lift and you can see your long-term plans beginning to unfold right before your eyes. The month of July provides some very promising opportunities, so hit the pavement running and grab the brass ring. This is your time to reap the benefits of your talents and efforts. Get out of town even if it’s only for a day. It will do you a world of good Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You will receive some powerful information this week that you need to keep close to your heart at this time. Although this may be a difficult task for you, you must not share this with others. Instead begin a plan of exit away from the situation at hand. You do not have room for anymore drama in your life. The Fourth of July proves to be a very romantic time where you and your significant other make plans for the future. It appears that you are both on the same page Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A friend or family member may share some alarming news about the emotional welfare of a loved one at this time. It appears that they are at the end of their rope and they feel like they can’t go on. It may be time to sit them down and remind them how much they contribute to the world around them, as well as how much they are loved. A stern but loving tone may be needed with this delivery, and you’re just the person to do it Pisces.

SHUTDOWN

Local leaders warn of budget deadlock’s impact

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

A state government shutdown that will impact local communities is set to begin with Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a short-term funding bill Wednesday.

But area leaders feel their cities are in place to sustain a short-term showdown in Springfield.

“Our ability to absorb payment delays from the state is strong,” Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey said Tuesday. “We have a cash reserve and also a line of credit that we’ve not had to dip into for several years, but it’s available for these situations.”

Down in Sycamore, Mayor Ken Mundy says his town knows how to fight through these conditions having seen them in 2007 and 2009.

“It’s about finding more local funds for programs rather than relying on the state,” he told The Rock River Times Monday.

Mundy says the city was able to complete some key projects with the potential for a shutdown looming, including a $7 million project funded by the state and federal governments to clean up the area around the former Evergreen Terrace mobile home park.

“It’s more the state saying to locals, ‘You have to find a way, you have to figure out how to get through this.’”

He says Sycamore showed its mettle during the recession, overcoming a tough state political climate while continuing to operate at full capacity.

“Local governments in these situations have to do a whole lot better job. We have money and we spend it, but we also try to build reserves.

“We didn’t have big layoffs during the recession, we didn’t have vacant positions that went unfilled.

We were lean and we came out stronger.”

‘We’ve been going through this for so many years that we’re a little shell shocked at this point.’

-Julie Bosma, RAMP

Oregon Mayor Ken Williams says that a brief closure wouldn’t take a chunk out of the city’s plans.

“In the short run, it’s going to have very little impact,” he said. “A lot of the reserve revenue resources we receive from the state are already set and not part of the shutdown.”

But he warns that an extended shutdown will put city and county services at risk.

“We have a lot of organizations here and across Ogle County that bill the state and get state income,” says Williams.

“If it’s something that lasts a week or 10 days most of them can weather that storm. If it’s something that lasts a month or more you’re going to see a bigger impact.”

Other government groups have budgets in place with the expectation of state funds that may not be coming soon.

“We’ve got some projects tied to funds that have been committed but not appropriated due to the lack of a budget,” said Morrissey.

“Even some federal funds earmarked may not be accessible as they’ve not been appropriated to Public Works or the city’s Human Resources department.”

Morrissey warns that any slowdown in state funds can make a mark on projects whether they’re already underway or on the docket.

But he says Rockford has mechanisms in place to find ways to keep the gears moving.

“We have to be aware of what is a structural problem and what is a casualty of the political

process,” he said. “We’re in a position where we could manage a disruption from the state.”

Morrissey echoed Mundy’s sentiments about building a strong financial base for the community.

“Having a reserve is a best practice in the financial industry. We don’t want to penalize our city for having better business practices than, frankly, the state has had.”

Julie Bosma, Executive Director of Regional Access and Mobilization Project (RAMP), says her group is moving forward with its services for clients even though it’s not sure if the state will reimburse funds.

“The most frustrating part is we don’t know,” she said. “We have signed contracts that came through even last week, so we have those but we assume (the state) won’t stand by those if we don’t have a budget.”

Other community non-profits indicated that they would close their doors beginning Wednesday if a budget deal wasn’t in place. But Bosma says RAMP will continue to provide services to clients, even if it means trimming back.

“We’re trying to be positive about it and do everything we can to keep our expenses minimal,” she said.

“My board can’t pass a budget because we can’t get a budget from the state. Our clients have been made aware of that and a lot of them are contacting their legislators.”

She says having been through these struggles before has prepared her organization for what lies ahead.

“We’ve been going through this for so many years that we’re a little shell shocked at this point.”

Morrissey says that the constant battles over the state’s budget have gone on long enough.

“There needs to be enough collective pain felt for lawmakers and the governor to see whatever it is they’re looking to do, even if it’s unpopular.

“I think there’s some belief in Springfield that there has to be some additional pain to get this budget passed.”

But he says that it’s unfair on middle-class families that they get caught in the middle of this political showdown.

“It’s sad because there are folks who will experience a disturbance to important services, and the groups that provide those services are also having to absorb a hit.”

Bosma says enough is enough and that legislators and the governor need to find working solutions and stop blaming each other for not getting the budget passed.

“Quit using us as pawns. Quit putting us in the middle. Please, just do your jobs.

“It’s politics and that’s how you try to play chicken with your opponents, but you’re playing chicken with people’s lives.”

And Morrissey warns that a number of projects in the city could get caught up in the trickle-down effect that a shutdown of any length will have.

“There’s a number of legislative priorities for Rockford that had to take a back seat,” he said. “The River Edge Redevelopment Zone was one – some other infrastructure projects we were looking at.”

But he’s optimistic that state leaders can put their heads together to avoid any long term pain for the region.

“Hopefully the state can deliver a budget soon to allow our services to deliver to citizens.”

Voices from the Grave

‘A generous nature’ – the life of John Germano

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

M

any people in Rockford wondered if John Germano had some premonition on the night of April 17, 1938.

John Germano, a Winnebago County Special Deputy Sheriff, was scheduled to be on a desk that evening. John learned that Deputy Sheriff Clarence Wollan was assigned to issue an arrest warrant for Albert Laws for disorderly conduct.

This was usually a routine assignment, but for some reason, John felt that this particular call was anything but routine and he offered to accompany Wollan.

The decision to arrest Albert Laws originated from a report filed by a Roscoe farmer, E. Barber, who came into the office with an unbelievable tale. Barber told police that several months prior to April, Albert Laws had rented a room from Barber and his wife. Laws then took over the house and held the family hostage for the past several months by using threats and violence. Laws would allow Barber and his wife to attend to business and run errands but with the threat that their other family members would be hurt or worse if they told anyone or failed to return home. Barber finally decided to attempt an escape and reach the police when his young wife threatened suicide. Barber said that his wife and little girl were at the house with Laws, a man who Barber claimed could be very violent.

Barber accompanied the two officers to his farm in Roscoe at around 9:00 p.m. on April 17. Deputy Sheriff Wollan would later state though they were aware there could be danger, neither of the men were prepared for what followed.

As they stepped onto the porch, Germano told Wollan that they shouldn’t stand close together and he stepped forward to knock on the door as Wollan retreated to offer cover. There was a light on inside the home and they heard the bolt slide on the lock for the door. Germano started to ask if Laws was home when suddenly gunfire erupted from the doorway. Germano grabbed the shooter’s wrist and held on while two more shots were fired. He returned fire and Wollan also fired his weapon but Laws fled back into the house uninjured. Germano was hit by a bullet during the exchange. The fatal bullet entered the left side of John Germano’s chest just below his heart and traveled all the way through his body and exited the right side. Wollan helped Germano back into the car and rushed back into Rockford to St. Anthony’s Hospital. Germano died shortly after he arrived.

Mrs. Barber narrowly missed being hit by the gunfire during the shootout. She was with her little one year old daughter in a bedroom directly behind the room where the shootout took place. One bullet came through the wall and struck a mirror. Mrs. Barber felt the bullet graze through her hair as she was attempting to climb out the window. She was terrified when Laws came charging into the room to grab a shotgun he had there. Mrs. Barber thought that he would shoot her and her daughter but Laws told her to climb out the window and see if the cops were still there. She grabbed her baby and crawled out the window but instead of doing as Laws requested, she ran to a neighbor’s house to take shelter.

Wollan returned to the Sheriff ’s office to call in reinforcements. Sheriff Paul Johnson and Chief Deputy Roy Julian accompanied Wollan back to the farm in Roscoe. They were joined by several other men and using flares to light the way, began the manhunt. The group of men was heavily armed and they searched the countryside surrounding the Barber home. Two hours later, one of the men stumbled on Law’s body. He was lying on his back in the middle of a field. Coroner Warren C. Ives would later determine that Laws had committed suicide with the shotgun he retrieved from the house.

John Germano was born on August 8, 1905 in Italy and his family moved to Rockford when he was 5 years old. He married Ida Gatti and they eventually settled into a house at 1116 Kent Street. They had a little 3 year old boy, John Anthony at the time of his death. John had been involved with the Sheriff ’s department for over four years and was also a truck driver/deliverer for the Register Republic and Morning Star newspapers.

John Germano was well loved for his loyalty and generous nature. The newspapers had articles for days written by friends, businessmen, and fellow officers that told of Germano’s dedication to his family, fellow officers and co-workers. The papers also stated “Germano held the confidence and good wishes from people from all walks of life.” His funeral was attended by hundreds of people and over 300 floral dedications were received. The community held several dinners and dances and donated the proceeds to Germano’s wife and another officer’s family who was killed in the line of duty.

Letter to the Editor

The Arc says ‘Thanks!’ to its community partners

W

hen people hear about The Arc, most think it is an organization that rescues animals, such as Noah’s Ark. However, The Arc of Winnebago, Boone and Ogle Counties serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) through advocacy and support.

The Arc also has been the home of the Great Home Giveaway for over twenty years.

However, in 2014, they hung up their tool belts and converted the Great Home Giveaway into the Great Dream Machine Sweepstakes due to an overwhelming response from donors that cash is preferred to a house. The Great Dream Machine Sweepstakes is a fundraiser where a $10 donation entry can win $10,000 and up

to an additional $100,000. The Arc relies on fundraisers, such as the Great Dream Machine Sweepstakes, to continue their important work for one of the most vulnerable populations in the community.

Many people ask what exactly does The Arc do? The Arc assists individuals and their families through a variety of services. One of their largest programs is Home Based Services, a Medicaid Waiver Program given by the Division of Developmental Disabilities, Illinois Department of Human Services. This program allows adults with I/DD to live at home with some support. They are assigned a Home Based Services Facilitator to help with monthly goals and coordinate a personal support worker to help with tasks such as

transportation, paperwork, cleaning, etc.

This is actually a more cost effective measure for the State of Illinois than institutionalizing an individual. Participants’ lives are greater fulfilled and enriched. Home Based Service Facilitation is the only program of The Arc’s that receives State of Illinois funding.

The Arc also provides low-cost guardianship services to families at a fourth of the cost to hire an attorney. The Arc is fortunate to have attorneys in Winnebago, Boone and Ogle Counties that have partnered with them; a large portion of the attorneys’ time is donated. A guardianship coordinator gets the paperwork in order and makes it a seamless process. This is an important service as many families have a tremendous amount of costs associated with taking care of their loved one with I/DD. At times, individuals with I/DD may need assistance with budgeting and paying bills.

An opportunity available to them, though The Arc, is a money management/representative payee program. The clients’ bills and communications are sent to The Arc where they are paid (out of the designated clients’ funds) and organized. They also meet monthly with the program coordinator to go over their budget and adjust as necessary.

Life Skills Training sessions are offered to promote a healthy and satisfying life. One of the classes is Emotional Regulation which focuses on anger and aggression, identifying triggers, and healthy ways of dealing with these feelings, such as relaxation techniques.

Other curriculum opportunities are: Healthy Relationships, Health & Wellness, Employment Skills, and Social Media Safety.

The Arc recognizes the therapeutic benefits of art expression, as well as the prospects for an individual to build on an inherent creative skill. As such, they have been developing a more robust art program: Project Art. Project Art includes Beadware (a class where individuals make jewelry and home goods) and curriculum geared towards using art as an income stream, as Illinois is an em-

ployment first state. They have also partnered with Therapeutic Recreation, a division of the Rockford Park District, to instruct Art at The Arc and Open Studio. These classes are designed to educate artists about their craft, give them the necessary tools for art creation, and provide a communication outlet.

Socialization is an important life component for an individual with I/DD. Oftentimes, individuals with disabilities are secluded and have not been given the chance to cultivate their interpersonal skills. The Arc promotes community integration and supplies activities to promote public inclusion.

Opportunities such as: Ice Hogs Hockey and Aviators Games, Open Gym, Rec Nights, and book clubs at local coffee shops are all events offered to address the need.

Not only does The Arc work individually with participants, but they advocate for the I/DD population and educate the counties about disabilities. The Arc’s staff has been in communication with local legislators on behalf of individuals with disabilities. They are also in the midst of a major campaign to inform the Rockford area about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and alcohol abstinence during pregnancy.

The Arc is grateful to have so many community partnerships and is touched by the demonstration of love for its participants from donors and volunteers. With more State of Illinois budget cuts looming on the horizon, it’s become more important to increase fundraising efforts and calls to action. The Arc desires to continue its work for many years to come and needs the fundraising support to be the advocate for individuals with I/DD. By donating to the Great Dream Machine Sweepstakes, a person can have the chance at becoming a little wealthier and enriching the lives of others: a win-win!

The Sox could’ve had a good weekend

By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

1. We shouldn’t be talking about this. I certainly don’t try to shoehorn Robin Ventura into everything. Hindsight sniping at a manager whose job and motivations are mostly invisible is not fun or compelling writing. Melky is alive again, Adam Eaton is a star, the Sox offense touched up David Price with Jose Abreu hitting out of the No. 2 hole and we’re all about to take two out of three from the Tigers in convincing fashion.

But instead we’re on this crud; where the merits of leaving your starter in for the eighth inning and letting him face enough guys to blow an entire 4-0 lead is a managerial decision that both needs to be debated in the year 2015, and then argued again that it’s a significant blunder, and only then before getting dragged into the stalling argument of whether any action that is not a complete solution is worth doing.

I wouldn’t have thought that such an incident would need to still get worked through after the initial horror, but outlets with far more reach than this one have been pumping out more confusion than Samardzija being left in an amazing four batters too long to ruin his own brilliant outing. So let’s clear things up.

2. Being capable of seven shutout innings but not eight, is not a significant shortcoming. He’s not even being paid “all that money” to do much more, since he’s being paid like an solid No. 3, and with how awful the Sox defense has looked, Robin Ventura trashing his ERA, and every White Sox starter happening to have a worse ERA than their peripherals, I’m really getting on board with the idea that Samardzija has been a solid No. 3 starter ruined by the doomed circumstances of this team.

Maybe the right-hander who slurps up innings to the degree that it sends his manager into a fugue state and never walks anyone is actually fine.

Even if he’s fine, the fourth time through the order is not where you really want to trust anyone (even Sale) with unless it remains low-leverage.

And about that.

3. It stopped being a low-leverage situation pretty quickly, and since it was a four-run game, Ventura should have been ready for that, if not having someone warming by the start of the inning, then certainly after the first runner reached. Even if Samardzija went 1-2-3, he would have started his fourth time through the order. Once the first two reached, he was due to face Miguel Cabrera for the fourth time on the day. “Pitch count isn’t everything” is not just a crutch for old school types who miss complete games, Samardzija being comfortably under 100 entering the eighth undersold how much we should have been ready for his performance to wane.

Maybe once things started going straight to hell and the lead was at stake, you wanted David Robertson ready rather than Zach Putnam, but

anyone who isn’t capable of outperforming a starter on his fourth trip through the order, shouldn’t be warming up in the eighth inning in the first place.

No one warms up instantly, but there are stall tactics to use to avoid something like a flagging starter face the heart of the order with bases loaded–and the Sox even employed one!–but Ventura ignored their options. It was a singularly inexplicable stretch that would be better thought to be an aberration, caused by outside circumstances we can’t see, except...

4. Robin has done this before. This is both in history and a microcosm of his issues with managing pitchers. As many brought up, Chris Sale in Los Angeles last year was an even more extreme example of this–a more dominant pitcher, a stronger outing, a bigger lead–and Robin seemingly took no lessons from it. We’re not simply reacting to a bad season and a bad team and demanding a head, there are negative patterns that don’t seem to be improving.

5. That doesn’t make Ventura what’s wrong with the Sox or make removing him now, or eventually–since the season is tanked and you might as well actually take time to find a replacement this time–but this is not a binary question (the players or the manager). A baseball team is big with a lot of elements, and even big-name trades and acquisitions are only shifting the needle so much. You have to just improve and optimize every bit you can and hope it all eventually adds up to a quality total product. Neither Carlos Sanchez, Conor Gillaspie, Tyler Flowers nor John Danks are singularly killing the Sox anyway, but if you have enough guys around that aren’t helping, it obviously adds up. Total inaction is as poisonous as overreaction, even if it’s painted as even-keeled wisdom in contrast to the ignorant wailing of fans that all and any criticism is categorized as.

6. How the hell did Adam Eaton become the whipping boy in all of this? The guy with an .855 OPS this month, who is fourth on the team in home runs despite being barely over five-anda-half feet tall? Better yet, he’s being cast as lazy, despite being such a reckless try-hard that he was specifically instructed to tone it down last season. It just goes to show that if you stink in the first month of the year, or don’t run hard that one time during a day game where general Chicago sports media actually have nothing better to do than pretend to watch, it doesn’t matter what else you do.

7. This all comes after Kenny Williams gave Ventura the dreaded public vote of confidence before the start of the weekend, and providing assurance that everyone is in regular contact with him. It was a keen response to the notion that Ventura’s strategic foibles are just something the front office grins and bears in light of his other strengths. “‘It falls on my desk,’ Williams said. ‘I hired the manager. I hired the general manager.’”

Well, gee, Kenny, when you put it that way...

NHL

It’s a Saad, Saad situation Blackhawks make first move to get under cap, but it’s not the one many expected

By Adam Hess Contributor

The Chicago Blackhawks finally made the salary-cap-related trade that many were expecting on Tuesday. But while the trade was expected the parties involved were not.

Brandon Saad, Alex Broadhurst and Michael Paliotta were sent to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Artem Anisimov, Marko Dano, Jeremy Morin, Corey Tropp, and 4th round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.

The deal came as a shock to many and initial reaction from many was some mixture of sadness and anger at losing Saad, a 22-year-old star on the rise.

But what GM Stan Bowman did yesterday was nothing short of expertly managing assets. Reports came in post-trade that Saad was seeking a 6 year contract worth $6.5 million annually, which the Blackhawks simply could not afford even if they had traded wingers Patrick Sharp and Bryan Bickell.

Rather than losing Saad to an offer sheet and getting just draft picks – virtual uncertainties in most cases – in return, Bowman was able to get near-maximum value for Saad.

Anisimov is a solid two-way center who can play on all lines and will likely thrive when not being asked to play a scoring role, which doesn’t fit his game.

Dano is a very good prospect who, along with Teuvo Teravainen and the incoming Artemi Panarin, gives the Blackhawks a good pool of skilled, young, NHL-ready forwards.

Morin brings familiarity, having just been traded to Columbus by the Blackhawks last December, and adds depth. Tropp also adds depth, and has an extremely friendly cap-hit of just $625,000.

The fact of the matter is that Saad currently is probably not worth the money he was seeking. Several players his age with very similar production to his have taken contracts for less than $4 million this year.

A deal in that area was very do-able for the Blackhawks, and was a fair price for Saad. When Saad looked too high and Bowman saw that a deal wasn’t going to be reached he got what he could for his asset and did pretty well.

This trade doesn’t do much for the Blackhawks in terms of

free agency, which starts Wednesday. According to Hockey’s Cap (hockeyscap.com), Chicago has just $600k in cap space available, so more deals, including trades of Sharp and/or Bickell, could still be in the cards.

NHL teams can exceed the salary cap by up to 10 percent in a given week during the offseason so it is still possible that the Blackhawks sign some players in free agency in the coming days and look to make counter moves down the line.
