Back to the drawing board for New Towne Gorman says it needs more time to “re-evaluate and revise” development Mayor says plan not abandoned, wants to take on further community feedback

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

Gorman & Company’s planned development on South New Towne Drive has been put on hold. The Wisconsin-based contractor issued the City of Rockford with a notice of withdrawal for the project Tuesday morning, saying they need further time to take on advice and comment from community members. “(We) have heard feedback from many Rockford residents regarding concerns and questions over the proposed New Towne development,” Gorman told the city. But the planned housing development is not dead according to Gorman and Mayor Larry Morrissey. “I fully expect them to come back with a revised proposal,” Morrissey told The Rock River Times Tuesday afternoon before embarking on a business trip to represent the city to investors in China. “It was not my suggestion that they withdraw; they came to that decision on their own. “Ever since this project started back in January Gorman has been very willing to respond to the concerns of the community. Unfortunately at times that’s been lost in the noise surrounding the project.”

Morrissey stressed that Gorman was still committed to the South New Towne development but added that the company is going to take on board more input from area residents. City Manager Jim Ryan echoed the mayor’s statements, saying this would hopefully allow cooler heads to prevail. “I think (Gorman) is taking a step back here with the letter of withdrawal. It’s a good thing. It’s going to let everyone take a collective breath and take in the full concerns of the neighborhood.” And he says that more community input could be just what Gorman and the Rockford Housing Authority (RHA) need to move forward with a more complete view of the project. “I can’t say we were surprised with the withdrawal, but we’re pleased they’re taking a step back and reassessing what they’d submitted initially to attempt to respond to the community.” Morrissey says that the delay will allow the community to come up with a cohesive strategy in concert with RHA that helps address the larger housing issue. “New Towne is certainly an example of the challenges that arise when someone is trying to do this sort of project,” he said.

“But Gorman is acting with RHA as part of a national effort to respond to the historic failures of public housing. “This is a national problem, and this is the start of a discussion and start of an approach to respond to those challenges.” Critics of the project lambasted Gorman and Morrissey for not taking on more community input at the start. However, an initial community meeting at the Gregory Elementary School turned into a shouting affair as residents aired their grievances about the development. A followup meeting at a RHA facility proved much more toned down as residents on both sides of the debate were given time to raise concerns to RHA CEO Ron Clewer. Now Morrissey hopes that Tuesday’s step from Gorman will allow those kinds of fruitful dialogs to continue as Rockford looks for solutions to its housing problems. “Ultimately, if Gorman has a reset opportunity here they’ll come back with a proposal that puts the best foot forward, of that I have no doubt. “Working with residents to find a total solution to this is what everyone wants, and what everyone needs.”

State Budget Crisis

Comptroller says today’s payroll will be met By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois employees will receive their regular paychecks for the July 15 pay date, Comptroller Leslie Munger (R-Lincolnshire) announced Monday. Munger said her office has finished processing the payroll, and the checks are going out. The comptroller’s office is dealing with dueling court rulings on how to pay state employees in the absence of a state budget. A ruling from a Cook County circuit judge said the state could only pay “essential” or “covered” employees the federal minimum wage demanded by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and forbade the Comptroller’s Office from issuing full pay. That order has been stayed, or put on hold, by an appellate court. A judge ruling in a separate action in St. Clair County said Munger could issue a full payroll. Citing conflicting opinions from the two county judges, Attorney General Lisa Madigan on Monday asked the Illinois Supreme Court to combine the Cook and St. Clair County cases and issue a ruling on “whether, and to what extent, the Illinois Constitution permits the payment of the state employee

payroll when the General Assembly and Governor have failed to enact appropriations statutes.” Munger and the state’s personnel arm, Central Management Services, have argued that given Illinois many and antiquated payroll systems, it is impossible to quickly determine which of the state’s 65,000 employees fall under the FLSA designation. Even if the state can make the designations, the comptroller’s office would have to manually enter tens of thousands of reductions in pay rate and corresponding changes in deductions and benefits, Munger said. “Paying all state employees is the right, legal, and fiscally responsible thing to do and I appreciate the court’s authorization to move forward,” she said. “While the legal process will continue to play out, I am confident that the court will ultimately see that paying all state employees is the best and only way to protect the state from significant federal fines,” Munger said. Republicans led by Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislative Democrats have been unable to reach a deal on a budget for fiscal year 2016, which began July 1. As a result, a partial government shutdown is expected to intensify as July continues to pass without an agreement.

State’s outdated tax collection puts burden on counties By John Guevara Winnebago County Board

f you’re anything like me, you’ve been following the budget showdown in Springfield. Governor Bruce Rauner is standing toe-to-toe with Speaker Mike Madigan, with the collective fate of our state on the line. I’m not going to be picking sides in this – I’m going to give you an idea of how local government, county government, stands in the face of a state government shutdown. The first problem is income taxes. Of course the state collects income taxes from us. What you may not have known is that they send a portion of that tax in payment to county government for some of the services the state requires county government to provide. At our last meeting we discussed the potential revenue loss. If we lose just 10 percent of the money the state sends back to our community in income taxes we’d lose $600,000 dollars needed for vital services. Just 10 percent! That’s not all. Replacement taxes are used to

pay the salaries of the Regional Office of Education, some expenses for the State Police, and more. The bills will continue to pile up the longer the showdown continues. Again, I’m not taking anyone’s side but our own. Why do we have to send money from our county to Springfield only to get it back later? Why do we need to pay Springfield bureaucrats to get our money? I’m sure we can find people to do those jobs right here at home, without running the risk of not getting paid during a shutdown. I think our system is antiquated, cumbersome, inefficient and burdensome. I think we should cut out the middle man and let each county collect and distribute these revenues ourselves without running the risk of a shutdown or lack of payment because Springfield’s broken. We need a better system, a leaner structure. Our taxes for our services shouldn’t be subject to the whims and whispers of Springfield. Our dollars should be collected and distributed right here, where they belong.

Local foods undergoing a resurgence By Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

nterest in local foods continues to grow nationally and within the region. Farmers markets, community supported agriculture (CSA), food stores, restaurants, schools and institutions are increasing the availability of locally produced meat, vegetables, fruits and other products. Consumers are interested in local foods for various reasons. They include the recognition that local foods are fresh, involve fewer miles travelled, are less likely to rely on artificial fertilizers and pesticides, provide jobs and retain income in their communities. Farmers markets and CSAs can help to revitalize social networks within communities as consumers get to know local farmers and interact with others interested in local foods. They are a new meeting place and add an appealing element as tourist attractions. They are receiving increasing visibility in the media with print, radio and television announcements informing the public of their availability. The increased consumption of local foods has supported local food processing and

distribution systems. Computer networks have developed to increase food diversity and availability. Online services connecting producers with consumers who can order specific foods directly are being developed. The topic has been an important feature of the Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle (Sustainability) Fair for years. Dan Kenny will provide an update on the exciting work being done in DeKalb County to build a sustainable local food security system which will help them better withstand coming volatility resulting from climate change. His featured presentation, Building Resilient Communities in Turbulent Times, will be offered on Saturday. Two workshops will present aquaponics, a low-impact process of producing food in a closed system growing fish and vegetables for food in which fish fertilize the plants and plants feed the fish. Auburn High School sociology students led by instructor Tim Bratina will describe how concern with hunger in America led them to build aquaponics and more recently microgreens stations as alternative ways to grow food. Mitch Heldt will have a small model of his aquaponics system to demonstrate its principles and use. Watch

for announcements of the Fair schedule. Other foods workshops will include solar cooking by Sherry Piros, Lucky Larson and Lin Vogl, easy bread baking and cheese making by Lin Vogl and acquisition and processing of large and small game by Roland Wolff. Judy Speer will teach her audience how to grow self-supporting plant communities that provide a nourishing harvest and benefit the local web of life. Speer’s workshop will be on Sunday. The others will be spread throughout the Fair weekend. A local organic farmer will offer produce or sale. Auburn High School students will have a model of an aquaponics station on display. Other exhibits featuring not foods, but other local products include handmade soap from the Oregon Soap Shoppe and high quality native woodland and prairie plants by Red Buffalo. The Wild Ones, a nonprofit organization that teaches people how to use native plants in their landscapes, will offer tips and getting started. An information table will provide a spot

for fairgoers to share their printed materials with others. Some will focus on food production. Major sponsors of the Fair are the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, The Rock River Times, Northern Public Radio and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.

Farming

Too much rain can impact on your plants By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

This June, Illinois received record rainfall with the entire state receiving an average of 9.30 inches of rain. While vegetables and fruit need rain during the growing season, too much rain can cause problems to the crops we are growing. Too much water in the soil can move soil away from the plant, expose young roots to sun/weather, remove vital soil nutrients, and lead to further problems. Soil has a saturation point. To a certain point in the soil, the plant will take up water. Once it moves beyond the saturation point, the plant can sometimes show wilting symptoms. This goes counter to what you might think as wilting symptoms typically mean that your plant is not getting enough water. If your plant shows wilting symptoms from heavy rains, the best thing you can do is let the soil drain out. Rain moves plant pathogens like fungus and bacteria on to the plants you have. Recently, I’ve helped diagnose black rot on a col-

lard plant and cedar rust on apple trees. Both of these diseases were worsened by the rain and temperatures. To help keep disease from spreading, it is important to not be working in very wet conditions. If your hands or clothing come into contact with wet leaves, you could inadvertently be moving the pathogen from plant to plant. After a rain, there are a couple of things you can do to help the plant and soil recover. Once the soil has dried some, bring the soil back to the base of the plant and cover the exposed roots. You may need to acquire a new bag of garden soil to add. A bag of compost can address your soil needs and bring stability to the soil. If an area of your garden continually floods or seems to be impacted negatively after each rain, you might consider not planting in that area next year. At the same time, it’s not too late to add mulch. Straw, leaves, and some grass clippings can be placed around the plants which will allow for the soil to be protected and a slower infiltration of rainfall. With these remediation practices in place, you can guarantee that rain is having a positive impact and not a negative one.

Questions linger for corn prices in 2015-16 season

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA–TheUSDAreleasednewprojections for the 2015-16 corn marketing year in the July 10 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Marketing year-ending stocks are expected to be 172 million bushels smaller and the average farm price is expected to be 25 cents higher than projected a month earlier. A University of Illinois agricultural economist says uncertainty surrounding these projections is likely greater than is normally the case for this time of year. “Stocks of old-crop corn at the beginning of the 2015-16 marketing year are projected at 1.779 billion bushels, 97 million bushels less than the June projection and 302 million less than projected in October 2014,” said Darrel Good. “Corn consumption during the current marketing year is expected to exceed last month’s projections in all three major consumption categories.” Good reported that the projection of feed and residual use was increased by 50 million bushels to a total of 5.3 billion in response to the smaller-than-expected inventory of corn on June 1. Use for ethanol and by-product production was increasedby25millionbushelstoatotalof5.2billion in response to the higher-than-projected rate of ethanol production in June and higher forecasts of gasoline consumption. The export projection was increased by 25 million bushels, to a total of 1.85 billion in response to the current pace of shipments and sales. In addition, the recently released Census Bureau export estimate for May exceeded USDA export inspections by 10 million bushels. Theforecastofharvestedacreageofcornforgrain in 2015 was reduced by 0.6 million acres, reflecting the estimates in the USDA’s June Acreage report. “The extremely wet weather in the eastern Corn BeltduringJunehascreatedsomeuncertaintyabout the magnitude of planted and harvested acreage of corn in 2015,” Good said. “Clarification about acreage will come slowly, with the USDA’s October Crop Production report likely to provide a good forecast of the final acreage estimates. The market will look for acreage clues in the early USDA Farm Service Agency reports of planted and prevented acreage expected in August and September. The fact that planted acreage of corn was less than June intentions in 14 of the past 19 years, along with the late planting season in some areas, suggest that the final acreage estimate will be smaller than the June forecast this year.” As expected, the projection of the average 2015 corn yield remained unchanged at 166.8 bushels because that projection is based on a trend-adjusted weather model adjusted for timeliness of planting and assumes average July weather. Additionally, crop condition ratings remained quite good in the first week of July. “It appears that many market participants be-

lieve that yield potential has been reduced below 166.8 bushels due to the extremely wet weather in the eastern Corn Belt,” Good said. “The USDA will release the first survey-based yield forecast on Aug.12. Between now and then, yield expectations will largely be based on the USDA’s weekly crop condition ratings. Corn yield models based on trend-yield and end-of-year crop ratings generally show a yield change of about 0.6 bushel for each one point change in the percentage of the crop rated in good or excellent condition,” he said. On the consumption side, the July WASDE projections are for a 25-million-bushel year-overyear reduction in feed and residual use, and a 25 million bushel increase in both exports and ethanol use of corn. “The lower projection for feed and residual use compared to both last year’s use and last month’s projection is attributed to a smaller crop production projection, higher corn prices, and larger supplies of distillers’ grains,” Good said. “The increase in distiller’s grains production, however, is expected to be very small and will likely be more than absorbed by larger exports. The key to feed use during the year ahead will likely be the pace of hog production and the pace of replacing the layer flock that has been reduced by bird flu,” he said. AccordingtoGood,thehigherprojectionforethanol use of corn reflects the projection of increased domestic gasoline consumption. The export forecast is 25 million bushels larger than the projection for the current year, but 25 million bushels smaller than last month’s projection. The smaller projection this month reflects expectations for increased export competition from Brazil stemming from the large 2015 harvest. However, Brazilian production and exports are expected to decline in 2016. Stocks of corn at the end of the 2015-16 marketing year are projected to be 1.599 billion bushels, 180 million bushels smaller than stocks at the beginning of the year. The marketing-year average farm price is projected in a range of $3.45 to $4.05. “In years with substantial production uncertainty, prices tend to be above the subsequent marketing-year average during the growing season, offering producers the opportunity to forward price a portion of the crop,” Good said. “That pattern seems to be unfolding this year. New-crop corn prices are currently above both the spring price for crop revenue insurance and above the upper end of the range of the USDA’s marketing-year average price projection. Still, prices could trade in a relatively wide range over the next 10 weeks. “Pricing decisionsremaindifficultforproducers, particularly for those with substantial production uncertainty,” Good said. “Risk can be mitigated with a combination of incremental sales at higher prices and options strategies that provide a floor above the crop revenue price of $4.15 for December futures.”

Loveless lights up Kryptonite Friday By Nate Johnson Contributor

In advance of her second area show in the last year, Lydia Loveless recently had a Rockford moment of her own. “We got pulled over by the police after our last show, listening to Cheap Trick’s ‘Dream Police’ really loud,” offers up the 24-year-old Columbus, Ohio native. “There was a traffic violation involved, but I’m sure they couldn’t wait to pull us over since we looked like a band and we were listening to Cheap Trick.” Okay, maybe not Hammer of the Gods-level debauchery, but. Loveless, one of the most electrifying performers touring today, brings her literate and passionate punk-fueled country/rock and roll back to Kryptonite this Friday. Having been named a “2014 New Artist You Need to Know” by both Rolling Stone and Spin, the singer and her crack band are on yet another leg of seemingly never-ending touring before going into the studio to record her fourth LP (and film a documentary about said recording). Rock River Times: You’re returning to tour the States again after your recent trip to Europe. Was that your first time playing over there? Lydia Loveless: That was my fourth time, actually, but my first time with the whole band. RRT: What kind of response do you get over there? LL: It depends on the area. I would say our best crowds were in Spain and Italy. Germany was pretty good. Spain is definitely my favorite place to play over there. It’s very rock and roll, the crowds seem like they’re really getting into it. RRT: How much do you enjoy touring? LL: I like it a lot. I like it less as I get into the end of an album cycle, after we’ve been playing the songs for a year and a half, but I’d still much rather be touring than sitting at home. I love travelling, I love seeing new places, but it’s harder to write that way.

RRT: Do you prefer touring to songwriting? LL: Oh, no, I love getting a break to write songs. I actually like being in the studio more than anything, but touring definitely breaks up the monotony. RRT: What is it about being in the studio that you enjoy so much? LL: I guess I feel like I’m in my own little world there. You just start throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks and it’s exciting to hear things

come together and have this finished product that you can actually hear results. I get very in the zone, I guess, when I’m there. RRT: What is going on with the documentary (“Who Is Lydia Loveless”)? LL: We just finished filming at home, all of the interviews, which was harder than I thought it would be. Gorman (Bechard, the director of the project) will be coming on tour with us in July

for a week to film some of the tour, then he’ll film us in the studio. RRT: Do you expect there to be an effect on the playing, both on the road and in the studio, knowing that the camera is there and knowing that it’s going into a finished product? LL: Possibly live, but hopefully not in the studio. Maybe we’ll make less offensive jokes. RRT: You have probably been asked this 100,000 times, but it seems like you’re one of the most frequently-compared artists out there. If you have to be categorized, where to you want to be? LL: I guess it sounds sort of pretentious almost, even though it’s such a standard genre, but I guess just rock and roll. We certainly act pretty rock and roll. It takes away the idea that we’re going to play a Toby Keith. RRT: You were on both Spin and Rolling Stone’s “Artists You Have to Hear” lists. What did you think of that? LL: It was definitely a confidence boost. I don’t know if it launched us into stardom, but I was excited about it. Show attendance definitely was a lot better after that. RRT: A lot of your influences are pretty obvious from your music, but what are your inspirations, both formatively and currently? LL: Right now I listen to so much pop music, which doesn’t necessarily translate into my music, but I just love the concept of the female diva pop artist. From a writing inspiration, I love John Moreland, he’s a great artist. His new album is awesome. RRT: What about the stuff that got you into music? LL: It’s a mixture of Billy Idol and Britney Spears. I remember hearing “White Wedding” and I thought it’s the NEW SOUND. I guess it turned out to not be so new. Lydia Loveless and her band will play Kryptonite, 308 W. State Street, on Friday at 9 p.m.

Refugee youth mural welcomed addition to midtown By Anne E. O’Keefe From Rockford Area Arts Council

The Rock Valley College’s summer programming for refugees brought an exquisite piece of public art to the midtown neighborhood. “I had the idea to mural because I wanted something fun and different for the students to do. A lot of the kids are not able to take elective art classes because they are busy taking ESL and additional math classes that don’t count for credit. I wanted to raise awareness of the refugee community in Rockford. I wanted the youth to put their mark on Rockford and feel like this is home and while taking pride in their culture,” said Morgan Smith, Rock Valley College, Student Liaison, Refugee and Immigrant Services. The program Smith has been involved with

for over five years supports 200 K-12 refugee students that are in RPS 205. The program includes parent orientation for new arrivals, encourages parent’s involvement and assistance at parent/ teacher conferences, and is very hands-on. Smith helps overcome transportation hurdles by taking students to appointments and picking them up from school when parents do not have access to transportation. She tutors at East and helps families register for school in the summer. Smith is a tremendous ambassador for our community. This mural used the power of art to bring together people who may not have otherwise crossed paths. Students involved were; Eric Nshiyimana, Junaina Abdulkareem, Zahraa Abdulkareem, Melina Munanga, Niang Cing, Tial Chin and Shukuru Mahirwe. Students represent Central

Africa, Burma, and the Middle East. The lead artist was Corey Hagberg, along with contributing artists Mario Martinez and Sarah Danielle Stewart. The canvas was provided by enthusiastic building owner, Rob Bauer, at First Avenue and 6th Street. Smith wishes to give special thanks to Luisa Cortes and Elizabeth Marriett, co-workers that volunteered a tremendous amount of time to the painting. Matt Youngblood, local videographer captured the project in its phases and will be producing a video of this impressive project. The Rockford Area Arts Council is excited to have been a part of this project as it progressed. I was able to speak in support of the project at the Zoning Board. Smith spoke with such passion about the students she works with and this project that it was my honor to do so. RAAC

is also pleased to have been able to provide an Arts Action Grant for this project from funds we receive from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. RAAC also helped by serving as a pass-through for other donations that came from the City of Rockford, Crusader Clinic Foundation, Urban Equity Properties and University of Illinois – Rockford, College of Medicine. In addition, Smith did a Kickstarter campaign for this project, showing her dedication and willingness to work hard for this project to become a reality for her students. “They are eager to jump at any chance for self-expression through art,” Smith said of her students. Rockford is the lucky recipient of this beautiful piece of artwork that brought people together in celebration not only their differences, but their expression of unity.

New Horizons gets up close with Pluto By Jonti Horner & Jonathan P. Marshall TheConversation.com

Just hours ago the New Horizons Spacecraft tore past Pluto, giving us our first closeup view of the enigmatic dwarf planet. As it flew past, the seven instruments on board captured every moment of their fleeting encounter. Over the months that now follow, that data will trickle back to Earth, providing vital new clues to help piece together the story of our solar system’s formation and evolution. But what do we already know about Pluto and its place in our solar system? Most science is generally experimental in nature. If you want to find out how something works, you can hit it with a hammer, boil it in a test tube or make it run through a complicated maze - you get the idea. Astronomy, by contrast, is an observational science. We can’t really experiment (except through clever use of computers). Instead, we gather observations and use them to piece together the story of how, when, why, and where something happened. So the universe is a crime scene, and astronomers are the detectives examining the clues left behind. Pluto, and its brethren in the space beyond the planets, are particularly important clues for astronomers studying our solar system’s past.

A celestial oddball

In the years since it was discovered in 1930, astronomers have learned a great deal about Pluto. It’s turned out to be a very unusual object. It is highly reflective, exuding a tenuous atmosphere when closest to the sun. In addition, it has a family of satellites, including the behemoth Charon, a little over 1,200km in diameter it is just over half Pluto’s size. Pluto’s orbit is distinctly non-circular, or eccentric. At its closest to the sun (a distance of 4.44 billion km), Pluto passes within the orbit of Neptune, while at its most distant it lies almost three billion kilometres further away. Pluto’s orbit is also tilted, or inclined, by about 17 degrees to the plane of the solar system. Pluto wanders both far above and far below the other planets during each 248-year orbit. The oddities don’t end there. Crossing paths with Neptune, you might expect Pluto to eventually come close to that planet, potentially even crashing into it. But it avoids such a fate due to something called a mean-motion resonance. Pluto’s orbit takes around 50 percent longer than that of Neptune’s (164 years). Pluto therefore completes two full laps of the sun in around the time it takes Neptune to complete three. This prevents close encounters between Pluto and Neptune. Every time Pluto crosses Neptune’s orbit, Neptune is elsewhere. It works like this: on the first orbit, Pluto beats Neptune to the point their orbits cross, and the two avoid a collision by a huge distance. By the time Pluto completes another orbit, Neptune has completed one and a half, meaning that it now precedes Pluto, and a collision is again avoided. After another Plutonian year, the two return to where they started, and the dance begins again. Because Neptune completes three orbits in the time Pluto completes two, we say that they are trapped in 3:2 mean-motion resonance. And it is this resonance that is key to our understanding the solar system’s formation.

Pluto and planet formation

Our current best theory is that the solar system formed from a gas and dust-rich protoplanetary disk - much like those observed around young stars in the Orion nebula. For planets, dwarf planets and other assorted debris to form in such an environment,

the disk has to be dynamically cold – in other words, as flat as a pancake. In that scenario, the tiny fragments of dust and ice in the disk collide at such slow speeds that they can stick together, rather than smashing one another apart. Fast forward uncounted collisions over a few tens of millions of years and a planetary system is born. This is a surprisingly successful model and matches the clues we observe better than any of its rivals. But, at first glance, Pluto’s peculiar orbit seems to contradict the story. If Pluto formed that way, why does it now move on such an eccentric and inclined orbit? And Pluto isn’t alone. We now know of a large population of objects beyond Neptune’s orbit, many of which are also trapped in resonance with Neptune, and move on inclined and/or eccentric orbits. They’re certainly not what you might expect of a population born from a thin, cold disk of material. And so we have a clue, in the form of the eccentricities and inclinations of Pluto and the other Plutinos. But what does it portend?

The yardstick of migration

As our models of planet formation have become more sophisticated, the simple picture that our planets formed on their current orbits has been overturned. Based on the evidence frozen in to the solar system’s small body populations, we now think that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune migrated as they grew, spreading out to reach their current dispersed architecture. Neptune, in particular, was a great wanderer, with some models suggesting it formed between one and two billion kilometres closer to the sun than we currently observe it. But how can we tell? The answer? Pluto’s peculiar orbit and those of the Plutinos.

Neptune’s great journey

As the planets formed, with Neptune much closer to the sun than it is today, there was a wealth of debris (planetesimals) further out. As Neptune fed, devouring the material closest to it, it scattered material inward from this trans-Neptunian region and, in the process, began to drift outwards. As Neptune moved, so did the location of its resonances. Objects were captured as the planet swept outwards, forced to move in lockstep with the giant. As it travelled further, Neptune ensnared more objects. Once caught, few escaped, and the rest were carried inexorably outwards, swept ahead of the giant planet. As they were pushed, the force driving them acted to excite their orbits, increasing their eccentricities and their inclinations. Eventually, Neptune’s migration all but ceased, and the population of Plutinos was frozen to that we observe today - the clue that reveals the magnitude of Neptune’s rapid outward march.

A well travelled enigma

This brings us back to Pluto. From its orbit, and its link to Neptune, we can tell that Neptune must have formed closer to the sun and then moved outwards. That also means that Pluto must have formed closer to the sun than its current orbit. We can estimate where it formed, to some degree, based on its current excitement. And this is where we come to the hero of the hour – the New Horizons spacecraft. The measurements the probe makes in the hours it passes Pluto should give us an independent measure of where it formed, adding a vital new clue to the mix. Will it support our theories, or will we have to start again from scratch? We will have to see what the data reveals, and that’s part of the beauty and thrill of the observational detective missions such as these. Photo, NASA

Political posturing, inbreeding and incompetence By Gregory John Campbell

whether positive, negative or indifferent, because we get what we strive for. So the people get the government they deserve, whether they know it or not, regardless of the political parties present, because what America’s two establishment parties demonstrate today, is their political success in being so, and the American people’s failure for allowing them to become so established, entrenched and controlling over their lives and the life of their nation politically. This is not the fault of the parties or the government, which merely continues the charade of political representation under the guise of a two-party system, that has no intention of representing the people, their needs or their enumerated rights under any circumstances, to insure their integrated bipartisan political control over them. The recent SCOTUS decision excusing warrants for home searches is reflective of the legal tyranny both parties are willing to permit in this regard. So when the establishment “ball” is tossed from the Left hand to the Right or vice versa, the corporate Morlock powers between the two—which controls them both—never changes, insuring under the pretense of “political change,” that no real change is occurring at all, except in name only. What this amounts to is political posturing, inbreeding and incompetence; not on the part of the establishment parties, but on the part of the American Eloi who blindly continue reelecting them. The mere fact that Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are “running” for office is indicative of this political inbreeding and incompetence, while Bernie Sanders is actually addressing the real needs of the American people. In this regard, Sanders is clearly the best choice Americans have at present to end establishment posturing and bring back the social contract, if the American people will only do so, regardless of media attempts to marginalize him. America, choose what you want to be.

n George Lakoff ’s fine book, “Moral Politics”, he metaphorically conceives of the nation as a “family” and the government as the “parent” of that family. And as much as this metaphor makes sense, I cannot agree with it, because I see it as a crippling political model, not only for individual Americans, but for the government itself. Here’s why. To make the government a “parent” mandates the citizenry to a second class “child” status to that parent, crippling their political potential and moral obligation to be “adults” in terms of what democracy morally means— not rule “of ” or “by” the political majority”—but moral self-rule, regulation and governing of one’s own impulses and actions. For without personal regulation, true democracy is not possible, and political, religious, economic, corporate, judicial or martial tyranny will result, because if we won’t regulate ourselves and “our” country some other “party” will won’t they? So under the pretext of faux political “representation” we cheat ourselves of our democracy and freedom simultaneously. Childhood implies dependency, lack of moral enterprise and an inability to act on one’s own initiative, all things which are generally representative of the American political public. And for this reason, this Citizen affirms that the “parent – child” model of nationhood, citizenship and government maintains a negative dependency state of repetitive political futility on the part of the American people in terms of “their” country. Consequently, this citizen views the government as an “Agent,” rather than as a “parent” for the people, that functions on their behalf, as long as the services the people demand of it are representative of adult necessity, and not of adolescent religious or secular cultural impulse. Consequently, the government as Agent can only reflect what the people enable it to do or be on their terms,

Friends of Ziock pushing forward with plans From Don Bissell n 2010, Friends of Ziock was formed to save a historic daylight factory (William H. Ziock Building) from the wrecking ball. After achieving historic status to delay demolition, we identified more than 60 developers with a successful track record on large historic preservation projects. Our first contact with you was part of our effort to locate a developer for the Ziock-Amerock Building. We talked to many of you and hosted a half dozen of you here in Rockford. More than three years ago, Gorman & Co. of Wisconsin stepped forward to accept the challenge of our 225,000 square feet industrial site downtown on the Rock River. Their plans include a 160+ room hotel in the old factory plus a 20,000 square feet new construction conference center and adjacent parking ramp.

We are pleased to report that the building was acquired this spring by Gorman. As we write, they are working on remediation. Their goal: complete the historic portions of the project – complete with Certificate of Occupancy by CYE 2016 – in order to obtain both state (25 percent) and federal (20 percent) Historic Tax Credits before the state benefits expire. While the Ziock property was our first priority, we have advocated and worked on a variety of other projects and spoken out on related issues over the past five years. Last fall, we held a workshop for state legislators on the importance of renewing state historic tax credits past 2016. Several sponsors in each chamber of the legislature attended. They were able to talk with two developers who used the credits here in Rockford, as well as attorney and tax credit expert, Don Longwell, from Grafton, OH.

We also have worked to obtain historic status on other eligible properties. In June, the IHPA (Illinois Historic Preservation Agency) approved two applications we worked on: twoblock expansion of the East Rockford Historic District and individual designation for the Condon-Shumway Seed Co. building on Cedar Street. Final approval with listing on the National Register is expected soon. As soon as the first draft of the application (following a Preliminary Inquiry and visit by IHPA staff on site) is submitted to the Springfield office, a developer is eligible to submit Part I (often concurrent with Part II) of the Historic Tax Credit application. Toward that end, we got initial approval to submit the application for the Old Freight Depot; we also completed research on the Hanley Bldg. (Mead Bldg.) to facilitate the submission of an application. We stand ready

to provide additional research on other eligible properties to facilitate the process for developers. We are focused squarely on winning historic status on other eligible properties, and matching these properties with developers with historic preservation interest. Clearly, with only 18 months remaining before state benefits expire, these properties cannot be the size of the Ziock Bldg. due to the abbreviated time line. So we present to you a list of 8 sites of 50,000 square feet more or less: Chicago & North Western Freight Depot, Chick Hotel, Condon-Shumway Building, Elks Club, Midway Theater, Stern/C.F. Henry/ Hughes Building, Watch Factory and W. A. Whitney/Megafab Building.For more information on these properties visit development.ziock.org. We welcome the opportunity to discuss the properties listed as well as others on the FOZ list of RERZ Eligible Properties.

Obama needs to follow through on labor laws By Thomas Kochan

MIT Sloan School of Management

Late last month, President Barack Obama took a step around the longstanding congressional gridlock over labor and employment policies by announcing a plan to boost the salary threshold governing overtime from $23,600 to $50,440 and to index it to inflation. Essentially, that means white collar workers in that salary range, currently exempt from being paid overtime, would get 1.5 times their hourly wages for anything over 40 hours. The administration estimates this action will extend coverage to an additional five million workers who will either receive overtime pay or work fewer hours at the same salary, with some of their extra work shifted to part- or full-time hourly workers. Either way, the workforce and the economy will record a small win in efforts to raise wages and reduce income inequality. I’ve been immersed in this issue for decades, including as a member of the Clinton administration’s Commission on the Future of Worker Management Relations in the early ‘90s and as codirector of the MIT Sloan Institute for Work and Employment Research. This experience has convinced me that the president’s plan should be just one in a series of executive actions that he, and the person who succeeds him, should take if Congress continues to be incapable of updating our employment policies to catch up with changes in the economy, workforce and the way people work today. The new overtime rules are long overdue. As far back as 1994, those of us on former President Bill Clinton’s Commission on the Future of Worker

Management Relations recognized that the salary threshold and other rules governing who was covered and who was exempt from overtime were outdated, overly complex and no longer reflected how work is done in many organizations. Those rules were drawn up in an industrial era when prevailing management principles called for a clear separation of management from hourly employees. But by the 1990s, the line separating salaried managers who are “exempt” from overtime rules and hourly workers who are covered had become increasingly blurred as tasks previously limited to management were being done by lower-level employees. By then it was common to find low-level managers working side by side or in teams with hourly workers in serving customers, ordering and restocking inventories, and mentoring newcomers – tasks that in the past were viewed as “management” responsibilities. We favored having Congress simplify the rules and set a higher threshold. But unfortunately, by the time our commission wrote its final report and recommendations in January 1995, the Gingrich revolution had gained control of Congress, and we recognized there was no hope of legislative action on these or any other labor policy issues. So we called for a series of regulatory reforms led by the president and the Labor Department. Since then, congressional gridlock not only remains, it has gotten worse. The real value of the minimum wage, for example, currently $7.25 nationally, has shrunk by 47 percent since 1968. And there’s little hope that Congress might follow the sensible lead of states and cities that have heeded the broad public support for an

increase. Our 1935 labor law is “ossified” and fails to provide workers who want collective bargaining to get through the legal hurdles that block access to it. Congress has not passed a significant new law nor updated any of the nation’s New Deal vintage labor or employment laws in decades. Given this sustained congressional gridlock, the president and secretary of labor can only search for tools that might make a difference. The salary threshold is one rule that can be changed by executive action, albeit a slow process. It took nearly a year for the Department of Labor to develop the new overtime rules, and the proposed changes still need to go through a process of public comment and likely will be further delayed by legal challenges. What other actions could be taken while Congress remains paralyzed? For starters, the president could call for an overhaul of the criteria the government considers when qualifying contractors bid for government business. As an example of the magnitude of the problem, The New York Times reported in 2013 that the federal government is one of the largest purchasers of goods such as Marine Corps uniforms from overseas sweatshops that employ child labor. President Lyndon B Johnson used this approach to good avail by requiring government contractors to take affirmative action to monitor and enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Two steps could be taken now to strengthen bidding processes that would help upgrade employment standards, boost wages and support movement to a high-productivity, high-wage economy. First, contractors could be required to provide

evidence certifying they are in compliance with all existing labor and employment laws. Knowing firms’ compliance records on safety and health, wage and hours worked, labor relations, and equal employment opportunity laws would help regulators better target their enforcement efforts on the serial violators and allow consumers to reward good and avoid bad employers. Second, criteria could be added to the bidding process to reward employers that have in place employment practices that invest in training, engage employees in organizational improvement projects and promote teamwork – all practices that research has demonstrated contribute to improving productivity, and support good jobs and fair wages. Growth in the on-demand economy and whether its workers are employees or contractors is another example of outdated labor laws that deserve updating. There is a growing business practice of hiring workers as contractors rather than standard employees to skirt obligations to pay social security and comply with other employment laws. A simplification and tightening of the rules governing who is an employee and who is a contractor would help resolve this problem. Obviously, executive actions are only stopgaps, partial and very time-consuming steps toward the fundamental reforms and updating needed in employment and labor policies. Eventually the American public needs to change the makeup of Congress and elect a president able to break the political gridlock. But until that day comes, executive action is the best alternative route available in Washington for getting the American workforce where it needs to go.

Rockford has reported ghost stories for many years now including a news article that was featured in the Rockford Morning Star June 30, 1935 edition. This particular report originated from rumors of a “ghost” on the courthouse lawn. A little background must be given to understand these rumors fully. It seems that in February 1935 the Rockford Better Housing Program came up with a wonderful idea to motivate Rockford homeowners to remodel and “modernize” their homes, no matter the condition or age of the dwelling. The idea called for the house

to be displayed where all could see the progress of the work. It was decided to move a 64 year old house that was in very sad condition to the courthouse lawn. All of the materials needed would be donated by local supply dealers and the work would be completed by Rockford workers. The house was moved, scaffolding was created and the work began. The roof was the first part of the project and everyone was impressed when the roof was partially completed within a short time. Then, as sometimes happens with remodeling projects, the work hit a snag. The work dwindled and then completely stopped. Finally, in June, the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors deemed the house an

“eyesore” and ordered the project removed from the courthouse lawn. This motivated the project team again and for a week work continued at a steady pace. Then everything halted yet again. It was then the rumors began. An enterprising reporter from the Morning Star was on the trail of the story and attempted to find someone working on the house to interview. This is when he heard of the midnight visitor to the construction site. The reporter heard tales of a misty white figure carrying a saw in one hand and a hammer in another. Sounds of work drifted across the courthouse lawn until the early morning hours. The fearless news reporter decided to see this spirit for himself. He invited a photographer on the rare chance that something might appear during their stakeout. Now, remember this was long before the television shows of today where we have grown accustomed to the thought of “ghost hunting”. The young reporter found a saw horse as a seat and positioned himself on the inside of the window leading to the porch of the home. The photographer hid behind a tree that allowed him a clear line of sight. They waited. And they waited. And they waited some more until the reporter was sure that he had been the object of someone’s idea of a joke. He was just about ready to head back to the office when suddenly he saw something moving beside the house. He caught his breath and leaned forward toward the window to get a better view. He was startled to see a white figure floating through the air and heading directly toward the window where he sat. The figure continued to head toward the reporter’s location until the photographer stepped out from his hiding place and snapped a picture. This blinded the reporter for a minute and by the time he could see again, the ghost had disappeared. The reporter and the photographer were very excited about the possibility that they had actually verified the story and captured a spirit on film. They raced back to the newspaper’s offices to develop the film. When they finally held the print in their hands they realized they had evidence to support their claim of a ghostly worker. The reporter returned several more times during the hours when ghosts are said to walk but every trip was in vain. The ghost must have known of the reporter’s stakeout for it is said that nightly construction ceased and no further work was completed on the house. The house was eventually ordered moved to Calvin Park Boulevard where the reports on the progress of repairs along with the sightings of the ghostly construction worker faded into obscurity.

Maybe down the road it will sink in somehow. You are making a difference. It may not be evident now Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — It may be time to put “plan B” into effect with your finances. You’re on the upswing and you have to believe in yourself. The minute we start allowing fear to infiltrate our lives we’re asking for trouble. You’ve worked hard and you’re entitled to some simple pleasures in life. An old friendship may try to revise itself this week. Although you may have your reservations regarding this aspect, it may be a good idea to hear them out. You will find knowledge in this interaction regardless of the outcome Scorpio.

Walker’s wage plan targeting construction firms By Alan Pyke ThinkProgress.org

bout 24 hours before announcing his official White House candidacy, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) made life a lot harder for people who sweat for a living. “We may end up having to lay some people off,” Chris Martinez, owner of Dairyland Energy Solutions in Butler, WI, told ThinkProgress. “If we can’t keep the same workload, we can’t keep the same workforce.” Martinez was referring to Walker’s repeal of the state’s 80-year-old prevailing wage law, a Depression-era policy that prevents taxpayer dollars from getting diverted away from local construction workers by less scrupulous contractors who undercut their wages. Wisconsin’s repeal move comes after Republicans in several other states that were once union strongholds have expressed some interest in ditching the prevailing wage. The laws use data on what various types of construction workers earn in a given geographic area to ensure that public contracts don’t go to contractors who won’t meet that pay scale. Project costs do not drop when the laws are repealed, but the quality of the work the public receives for its dollar does – and so does the economic security of people in the building trades, whether they work on public projects or private ones. Martinez opened Dairyland in 1998 after a decade on construction sites. Seventeen years of installing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC control systems later, he’s bracing for major changes in how his business meetings are going to go – and who he’s going to be facing off with to win contracts. “I’m gonna be spending a lot more of my time educating the owners in terms of the differentials between what our workmanship is like and what it means in the future, versus our new competitors,” he said. “It’ll be my job to go out and educate people. But at the end of the day, if it’s only about that bottom line number instead of value for money, we’re going to lose some projects.” The Wisconsin repeal measure leaves a minimal prevailing wage system intact for state-funded projects of a certain size — Martinez said a quarter of his state jobs would still be

exempt under those caps — but repeals the system for all locally-funded construction work. If somebody wants to undercut Dairyland, there isn’t much Martinez can do to stop them. Both contractors might know that the work required on a given project needs a $65 an hour mechanic. But there will be plenty of competitors willing to tell the buyer it can be done for $30 an hour instead. “That’s where the most damage could come in public work,” he said. “Maybe that guy can identify and install a piece of conduit, but they can’t understand cradle-to-grave what it is they’re installing.” Standards slip across the whole of a system as a result – and not always in the kinds of egregious ways that a school district will notice and raise

All but two studies of prevailing wage laws that had ever been conducted prior to 2008 found no change in public costs between the two systems, according to the Economic Policy Institute, which notes that one of the outlier studies was later proven invalid. School construction costs in Kansas didn’t drop at all compared to nearby states after the 1987 repeal of the prevailing wage. A 2004 study in Missouri found that prevailing wage projects cost about $78 per square foot, compared to $75 in states without the safeguards – a statistically insignificant difference. And a followup study in 2011 found that costs were actually about $10 lower per square foot with prevailing wage laws than without them, thanks to the productivity gains and workmanship

back-breaking work. “You’re paid according to the wage of the skillset in which you’re working, so that you can buy homes, support the local economy, keep business going,” Butkiewicz said. But with the prevailing wage law out of the picture, that cycle breaks down. “Somebody could go from making $25 an hour to making $10. Because there’s no floor. We live in a capitalist economy, and nobody’s going to pay you more if they don’t have to.” he said. “In the end you’ll erode neighborhoods and societies, because people will not be able to buy groceries and pay taxes in the places where they live.” While non-union workers will also be hurt by repeal, the move is best understood as a further assault on labor’s power in the state according

‘People will not be able to buy groceries and pay taxes in the places where they live.’ a stink over. “Will my lights turn on? Well, yeah, but they didn’t wire it properly, so if you need to change something down the line it’s going to cost you a whole lot more,” Martinez said. “Because the person who’s going to do that change properly has to first figure out what the other guy did improperly.” Contractors who underbid severely but can’t deliver on their promises can fold, move on, and maybe try again in the future as a slightly wiser business. “In the meantime, whoever they were doing the work for is left holding a project that’s half done or half-assed,” Martinez said. “I think the public entities, school districts and village councils, they’ve got a lot to lose in this as well.” State-level prevailing wage laws have received a substantial amount of study over the years, and nearly all of the research has found that criticisms of the laws are wrong. “The studies are pretty clear that the repeal of prevailing wage laws helps increase profits for companies that don’t have to pay their workers as much,” Center for American Progress economic policy expert David Madland said. “But they’re also clear that the government doesn’t necessarily benefit from any reduced costs. It’s sort of a one-way street.”

quality that higher wages produce. Politicians who nonetheless insist that removing wage safeguards must necessarily reduce total costs “don’t understand that people are not widgets,” Madland said. “You get more out of them when you have higher pay, less turnover, and more skills development.” Repealing a prevailing wage doesn’t just fail to lower taxpayer spending for public works. It can actually harm public coffers. Less income for construction workers means lower tax collections for the state and reduced consumer spending in the private economy. The Missouri studies estimated that between lost income to workers, lost tax revenue to the state, and lost economic activity for everyone, repeal would have taken at least $324 million out of the Missouri economy every year – and maybe as much as half a billion dollars annually. Prevailing wages benefit both non-union workers and organized ones by providing all of them a floor value for their work. Without that floor, Milwaukee Building Trades Council president Dan Butkiewicz told ThinkProgress, construction jobs will likely stop providing the sort of economic security that’s traditionally come in exchange for often

to Madland, who authored a book this year on the link between union strength and middle-class prosperity. Since he was first elected, Walker has chipped away at various laws that allow workers to band together to keep wages high. Bargaining rights for public employees went first, followed soon after by a so-called “Right to Work” law that hampers organizing in the private sector. Signing the prevailing wage repeal “continues his march across every area where unions had some degree of influence,” Madland said. The more unionized a state’s workforce, the better its people fair across various indicators of economic security for working-class families. As unions weaken, health insurance and wage policies that produce greater middle-class stability become vulnerable. Some Wisconsin lawmakers have described the prevailing wage provisions of the budget as a reform measure rather than a repeal. The law bars prevailing wage rules for city, county, and regional government bodies in the state, but retains them for all but the smallest projects built with state funds. Even this remnant of the 80-yearold system is losing its fangs. The budget ditches the old enforcement

system where the Department of Workforce Development could assess double damages if an employer failed to pay the proper wage and overtime on a prevailing wage project. Now, the Department of Administration will oversee the system, and there will be no punitive consequences for wage and hour violations beyond giving the worker their back pay. There will be plenty of companies on hand to take advantage of that relaxed enforcement system, Dairyland’s Martinez said. New firms crop up all the time to bid on contracts without understanding what a realistic cost estimate for a given job should be. “Many of them are very shortsighted. They can grab a $40,000 contract today, and in their mind that’s $40,000 that’s in their pocket tomorrow,” Martinez said. “But in our mind, it’s not our money. It belongs to our technicians. It belongs to the taxing authorities. It belongs to our vendors. And then at the end of the day, if we do our jobs right, there is going to be 10 percent left behind that we can build our business further in the future.” That 10 percent has to cover both his overhead and his profit. In a typical year where he grosses $3 million and pays about a quarter-million dollars in rent, utilities, and administrative salaries, Dairyland’s annual profit would be about $50,000 – and that’s before Walker’s prevailing wage repeal threatens to strip away much of the firm’s business. Whenever he retires, Martinez hopes to pass Dairyland on to a competent team that will keep the company dedicated to doing quality work. But if the business changes from a competition to deliver the best work at the best price into a simple race to the bottom on wages, that won’t just hurt his bottom line. It’ll also undermine standards industry-wide, in part by making it harder for young would-be tradesman to serve as apprentices with firms like his and learn to do things the right way. “In 20 years when I step away from this, I need to make sure I’ve got a team of good quality mechanics, managers, professionals,” he said. “Every step of the value chain has to be high caliber. If I short out the bread-earning piece of it by not teaching my mechanics through proper apprenticeships, then I’m really setting our company up for failure.”

Education

The calamity of disappearing school libraries By Debra Kachel

impoverished communities with resource-starved schools. In the 1960s and 1970s, the now 50-yearold Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) pumped millions of dollars into building school library collections for school students. Since then, only a few competitive grant programs have been available from the federal level to fund any improvements to school library programs. With the defunding of the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program in 2011, today there are no federal programs for school library funding. Clearly, the states, taking the lead from the feds, continue to ignore the funding of school libraries. Yet, until now, federal education policy and legislation have neglected to support the role of school librarians. That needs to change. We need a national agenda and our elected officials to take a stand and ensure equity of library services and certified school librarians to teach the next generation to find and apply information to solve problems, think critically, and develop innovations. Until such time, we shortchange our students and our future.

TheConversation.com

From coast to coast, elementary and high school libraries are being neglected, defunded, repurposed, abandoned and closed. The kindest thing that can be said about this is that it’s curious; the more accurate explanation is that it’s just wrong and very foolish. A 2011 survey conducted with my graduate students of 25 separate statewide studies shows that students who attend schools with libraries that are staffed by certified librarians score better on reading and writing tests than students in schools without library services. And it is lower-income students who benefit the most. This clear empirical evidence has had little impact on budget cutters, however. They act – mistakenly – as though there is no link between libraries and educational achievement. Here are the numbers and the arguments to which they need to pay attention. A dramatic decline in school libraries and librarians The number of school libraries in New York City has dropped from nearly 1,500 in 2005 to around 700 in 2014. Over a recent five-year period, 43 percent of school librarian positions in the Houston Independent School District evaporated. Ohio has lost more than 700 school library positions over a decade. California has hemorrhaged school librarians to the point where it now has the worst ratio – 1-to-7,000 librarians-to-students – of any state in the nation. And, finally, in my own home state of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia provides a dramatic story. In 1991, there were 176 certified librarians in Philadelphia public schools. Today there are 10. It appears that 206 out of 218 classroom buildings in the school district of Philadelphia have no librarian. Two hundred Philadelphia schools do not have a functional library book collection. A majority lack the technology to access necessary e-resources. And 85 percent of these children come from homes in poverty.

Proven impact

This is happening despite the fact that we know school libraries are highly effective. A 2011 study using data from the National Center for Education Statistics revealed that “..states that gained librarians from 2004–2005 to 2008–2009 — such as New Jersey, Tennessee and Wyoming — showed significantly greater improvements in fourth grade reading scores than states that lost librarians, like Arizona, Massachusetts, and Michigan.” So why, in the face of readily available evidence, are so many budget cutters targeting school libraries?

A vulnerable institution

One reason they cut is because they can. For example, look at my state of Pennsylvania, where schools are not required to have libraries. Prisons must have them. Barber and cosmetology schools must have them. They are compulsory in nursing programs. But in public schools they are optional. Or consider the city of Houston, Texas, where decisions on school staffing for certain positions, including certified librarians, are left to the discretion of school principals. It is not alone in that. Also at work in the minds of budget cutters may be the hoary falsehood that the internet has made the need for libraries obsolete. But those who think that the internet replaces a library must think it is okay to use WebMD instead of going to a doctor. Librarians teach information literacy – how to separate the useful from the less useful, the credible from the inaccurate, and how to navigate the internet safely.

Capitol Hill to the rescue?

There is some hope, however, and it comes from legislation unanimously passed on July 8 by the US Senate. In a bipartisan amendment – sponsored by Senators Jack Reed (D-RI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) – to Senate Bill 1177 that reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act/ No Child Left Behind (renaming it the ESEA), school districts would be authorized to use federal funds “…to develop and foster effective school

library programs…programs with certified school librarians at their core.” The Pennsylvania School Librarians Association and the Pennsylvania PTA, who have been active on this issue, lobbied both of their state’s senators aggressively. But presumably party pressure played a factor, as 100 percent of the senators voted unanimously for the amendment. However, in the narrowly passed reauthorization of its version of ESEA (the Student Success Act), the House of Representatives included no language about school libraries or librarians. When the Senate finishes its deliberations and (presumably) passes S1177, a conference committee will need to meld the House and Senate versions together. Will the language supporting school libraries and librarians survive this process? In his State of the Union Address, President Obama said that “In the 21st century, one of the best anti-poverty programs is a world-class education.” The research is clear. School librarians are an integral part of a world-class, 21st-century education.

Congress needs to step up

It is time for a rethinking and redirection of federal policy in education. Former President George W Bush and President Barack Obama have called education the civil rights issue of our time. However, allowing each state and each school district to decide how funds should be expended to educate students and provide library services has brought about huge inequities particularly in

I’m hurt – but how can you tell, Doc? By Dr. Philip R. Schalow You haven’t been feeling well, or your child now has a diagnosis of autism. What is happening? Over the past 90 years, advanced diagnostic procedures have developed that indirectly reveal troubled areas in the brain and nerve system. Beginning in 1923, thermography was invented to detect skin temperature alterations that show distress in the nerve system. In 1961, a medical college in Japan was able to use thermography to “weed out” hepatitis carriers from the blood donor population. Now, as in 1923, chiropractors use thermography to detect how well the nerve system is staying in balance. If it is not, the fault is usually with the “subluxation,” the term applied to a vertebral misalignment that is causing neurovascular insult. The autism problem resides within the “vascular watershed” of the brain stem. It is also the region that influences the autonomic nerve system – that part of the nerve system running the blood vessels which bring nourishing oxygen to body tissues. Any level of pressure there causes oxygen depletion and related malfunction. Interestingly enough, the same region is responsible for managing the immune system. So the subluxation that can contribute to illness also contributes to autism. Thermography and other direct and indirect procedures can show the need for chiropractic remediation of this very important part of the nerve system. “The integrity of the brainstem is critical for normal homeostatic regulation of the autonomic nerve system, social and emotional function,” according to neuroscientist Stephen Porges. Although autism can be congenital, there is evidence that the condition can be helped and sometimes eliminated with the right type of chiropractic care. One study of 15 autistic children showed that three of the children lost the criteria for autism after a course of upper cervical care. Of the eight who received upper cervical care, there was a fourfold improvement in symptoms over the group that received “full spine” care. The probable

reason is that upper cervical care concentrates on the region of the spine that has the most influence over the blood flow to the brainstem - the critical area for all functions including social and emotional. Do you have to have autism to benefit from upper cervical care? Other research papers show that people with head injuries, pain syndromes, sciatic nerve pain, scoliosis and more can all benefit from upper cervical care. The reason lies in the fact that the brain and spinal cord control and communicate with all tissues of the body. If that communication is impaired, restoring it will turn the declining situation around. The body starts healing on its own! This is how you know that there is a problem upper cervical care can help. There are indirect procedures such as the supine and prone leg check, postural distortion check, neurological examination, and thermography which will show that the brain is not managing your healing process very well. There are also more direct procedures, such as palpation, MRI, and radiographic techniques that can show directly where the problems lie. In a study accepted for inclusion in the International Research and Philosophy Symposium this October, Dr. Philip Schalow of the Upper Cervical Care Center – Rockford, found that upper cervical doctors used up to five different diagnostic procedures to measure distress in the body and again to measure that the procedures employed to reduce the subluxation have a positive influence. Dr Julie Mayer Hunt, upper cervical doctor in private practice and also of the Florida State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, states, “We are finding that the best clinical outcomes are associated with exacting detail in diagnosis and treatment.” Dr. Schalow’s office, Upper Cervical Care Center – Rockford, is a division of 1st Step Chiropractic, S.C. and welcomes you to their 13th anniversary party on Thursday, July 9, from 4-7. 4519 Highcrest Rd, Rockford IL, 61107. 815-398-4500. www.MyRockfordChiropractor.com.
