Inside this issue

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton extended her lead over Republican rival Donald Trump to eight percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, from six points on Friday.

The bump for Clinton followed the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last week at which Clinton and her supporters painted an optimistic portrait of America, and came amid controversy over Trump’s comments about the parents of a slain Muslim U.S. soldier.

About 43 percent of likely voters favor Clinton, 35 percent favor Trump, and 9 percent picked “Other,” according to the July 28-Aug. 1 online poll of 1,289 likely voters. The poll had a credibility interval of 3 percentage points.

Trump has faced a barrage of criticism in recent days from political allies as well as opponents after he criticized the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who dropped out of the Republican presidential primary race and endorsed Trump, said on Tuesday that Trump’s criticisms of the Khans was “inappropriate.” House Republican Richard Hanna of New York said it was “not enough to simply denounce his (Trump’s) comments,” and said he would support former Secretary of State Clinton instead.

Trump had a short-lived bump in the polls after the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in late July, when Reuters polling showed him slightly ahead of Clinton for the first time since May.

GOP tensions rise as Trump withholds support

Raft Race entry deadline extended LOCAL Page 4

Youth offers hope for Bears SPORTS Page 46

Presidential nominee Donald Trump ratcheted up tensions in his Republican Party on Tuesday, denying leading figures support in their re-election bids, while his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton won her first endorsement from a Republican lawmaker.

President Barack Obama blasted Trump as unfit to be president and questioned why any Republican would support the New York businessman seeking his first public office.

“The question I think that they have to ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable: Why are you still endorsing him?” Obama, a Democrat, said at a White House news conference with Singapore’s prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong.

The latest exchanges cast a shadow over the show of unity the party sought to project at the Republican National Convention that formally nominated Trump for president in July.

Interviewed by The Washington Post, Trump said he could endorse neither House Speaker Paul Ryan nor Senator John McCain, both of whom face Republican challengers in primary votes in their states ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.

Both lawmakers had rebuked Trump over his feud with the family of a slain Muslim-American Army Captain Humayun Khan.

The Secretary of State’s office is looking for authorization to sell advertising on paper license plate renewal notices as a way to offset the cost for reinstating the paper notices.

Notice mailings are a courtesy but were suspended in October 2015 because the state didn’t have a budget. That saved taxpayers $450,000 a month. In that time Secretary of State Press Secretary Dave Druker said a large number of drivers were getting punished for not having the up-to-date plates.

Druker said the office is reinstating the renewal notices but will also seek authorization from the General Assembly to include paid advertisements.

“So that will be something that we’ll submit in the Veto Session come November and if we don’t have success in that short period of time, because quite often they don’t deal with new issues, we’d be looking at doing it in the Spring Session of the General Assembly to give us authority to seek advertising to offset the costs that are entailed,” Druker said.

Druker said the office is reinstating the notices because people were getting punished for not having up-to-date plates. “Whether it was getting tickets in their local community or having to pay that $20 late fee if you’re more than a month late, we are trying to reach out to that group,” he said.

Since October Druker said more than 800,000 Illinois motorists have signed up for electronic renewal notices.

“So if we can continue on that path hopefully we can get it down to a very small figure in terms of mailing and ultimately to the point where maybe we wouldn’t have to do it.”

In total, Druker said more than 2.3 million Illinois motorists are registered to receive electronic reminders which removes them from the paper reminder list.

Illinoisans are leaving Medicaid, but why?

Illinois is looking to answer what should be a simple question about its Medicaid program.

For the first time, Illinois is going to track why people are leaving its Medicaid rolls.

Illinois always tracked how many people were enrolled in Medicaid and how much it cost.

But State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, said the state is now going to track why people leave the program.

Demmer said lawmakers need to know who is leaving Medicaid and who simply ‘fell off.’

“If we had the wrong address and somebody didn’t respond. They might come back on the Medicaid rolls a month from now, two months

Secretary of State Jesse White’s office is hoping to sell advertising on the envelopes for mailed renewal notices in an effort to keep costs down. File

from now, or a year from now,” Demmer said.

“We need a better idea of what’s changed and why, to get a real idea if their redetermination will stick.”

Demmer says once lawmakers have an idea why people are moving on and off the Medicaid program they can try and find some solutions.

“As we look for those redetermination numbers, we’ll understand why those people were removed from the rolls,” Demmer explained.

“It’ll help us get a better sense of what some of the problems are of the underlying issues may be.”

Illinois’ latest numbers show over 3.2 million people enrolled in the state’s Medicaid program.

Total Medicaid spending in Illinois is nearly $17 billion in the 2014 reporting year.

Analyst: State economy lags national growth

The economist who assembles the Illinois Flash Index, an ongoing measure of economic activity, said the state continues to lag the nation in several economic categories.

J. Fred Geirtz, a University of Illinois professor emeritus and a member of the university’s Institute of Government and Public Affairs, said Illinois’ anemic growth since the end of the 2009 recession continues to be lower than the country’s rate of growth – which also is anemic by traditional measurements.

“There’s a story within a story here,” Geirtz said. “Illinois continues to suffer from the weak national recovery, but we are growing even slower.”

On July 29, the Los Angeles Times said the U.S. Commerce Department published a report showing the rate of national economic growth

stalling at 1.2 percent. A report in the St. Louis Post Dispatch on July 27 said the department’s figures showed Illinois growing at just 0.09 percent in the second quarter, which follows an almost zero growth rate in the first quarter.

“We are going in the right direction, just not as fast as the rest of the country,” Geirtz said of the rate of Illinois economic growth. “We are growing this year, but not as fast as we were even a year ago.”

Beyond the general economic problems facing the country, which Giertz said have affected the strength of the U.S. dollar and its effect on imports, he said Illinois faces several special challenges, including a struggling agricultural sector that has seen a drop in commodities prices.

Illinois’ well-publicized fiscal problems include billions in backlogged bills, an alarmingly underfunded pension system, and the inability of the Democrat-controlled state legislature to pass a budget for the past two years.

“How much of the state’s fiscal problems has contributed to the slowdown is difficult to figure,” Geirtz said, “but it’s very likely a contributing factor.”

The U of I Flash Index uses tax receipts to measure monthly economic output in the state. Any measure below 100 on the index indicates a retraction; measures over 100 are considered growth.

The Illinois rate has remained steady at around 105 for the past year after reaching a high of 107.1 last April. In the months between 2009 and 2011, the rate did not go above 100 and reached a low of 90.

Energy & Environment

The importance of increasing solar

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

E

xciting progress is being made in the growth of renewable energy and solar PV. Managers of more public buildings are making the decision to install it on their roofs, ideal sites for it. But many unused opportunities still exist.

For years the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation has stimulated such practices within the state. The organization has assisted in funding installations on schools, environmental centers, courthouses, sewage treatment plants and other public facilities to demonstrate the effectiveness of these advanced technologies.

After we dropped off this year’s Fair booklets for distribution through the Rock River Times’ network we returned home via South Main St. We were impressed by the improvements which will provide visitors with easy access to the downtown from the airport and the Route 20 bypass. The new Sportscore on the east side of the river and the prospects for a new hotel on the west side provide exciting new destinations. The upgraded route into downtown is a long-awaited but welcomed improvement.

It would be good to see some renewable energy installations along the route to offset the expected increase in visitors and transportation emissions. Solar canopies and rooftop installations could exemplify how solar can be integrated into the urban setting.

On our travels to deliver fair booklets to key sites, we noticed the widespread trend toward new medical facilities being built as adjuncts to major area hospitals. Existing facilities have available roof space and parking lots which could accommodate solar

installations. The new outlier facilities could accommodate similar installations accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources.

Solar panels on medical facilities would contribute to cleaner air and help avoid some of the worst impacts of climate change.

Some medical institutions are going beyond installing solar panels on their facilities by providing incentives for hospital employees to install solar panels on their homes.

Electric car charging stations could provide opportunities for evening staff to charge their cars while at work.

With the heat of summer, the intensive use of popular water parks is noticeable. In view of the intensive use of electricity to power pumps at these facilities, installing solar panels on them could dramatically cut electric bills. By being grid connected production during the non-swimming season could be redistributed through the grid.

The major speakers at this year’s renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair will highlight opportunities for accelerating the renewable energy and efficiency movement. Howard Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center and the Midwest’s leading environmental policy expert, will challenge his audience to consider Electricity Game Changers which are greener and more decentralized. He asserts that “smart policies drive energy markets” and feels that we are on the cusp of changing the world “through better access, affordability and reliability, and climate change solutions.” Old patterns will give way to advancing technological innovations. The entire game will change.

Kevin Brehm and Margaret McCall from the Rocky Mountain Institute, another leader in innovative policies and practices, will elaborate further on changes in energy which can change the world. Brehm will share information on Why Utilities are Embracing Community Solar, providing motivation for more such practices. He claims that “solar has the potential to be the most important energy source in the U.S. and worldwide. McCall will provide an optimistic view of New Energy Tech Meets the Midwest, providing an overview of new small and large scale technologies that are both in place and coming.

These speakers will open the doors to recognizing exciting new directions on the immediate horizon.

Major sponsors of the Fair are the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, The Rock River Times, Northern Public Radio and the Ogle County Waste Management Department.

Criminal investigation underway into 2015 Colo. mine spill

By Keith Coffman Reuters

DENVER – Federal investigators said on Monday they have opened a criminal probe into the 2015 spill of some 3 million gallons of toxic wastewater from a defunct Colorado gold mine that was triggered by a contractor with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

At the urging of congressional leaders, the EPA’s Office of Inspector General is investigating the rupture from the Gold King Mine above Silverton, Colorado, that fouled waterways in three states and Native American lands, the agency said in a statement.

“Based on requests from several members of

the House and Senate, the OIG is conducting both a program evaluation and a criminal investigation of the Gold King Mine spill,” the EPA said in a statement.

The OIG is an independent office that audits, investigates and evaluates the agency’s activities, the EPA statement said.

Last August, a contractor hired by the EPA to slow seepage from the century-old stake breached a tunnel wall, unleashing a torrent of wastewater that had backed up behind the mountainside.

The orange-colored sludge, containing nearly 900,000 pounds of heavy metals, poured into a creek that feeds the Animas and San

Juan rivers and traversed into New Mexico, ultimately emptying into Lake Powell in Utah.

Two Republican members of the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Indian Affairs, John McCain of Arizona and Chairman John Barrasso of Wyoming, sent a letter in May to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, urging her to launch a criminal probe into the spill.

On Monday, Barrasso applauded the probe.

“Tribal communities in the affected region have been devastated and the EPA has not taken responsibility for the mess it made,” Barrasso said in a statement. “I hope this investigation uncovers who is at fault and holds them responsible. We will be watching closely.”

A report issued last fall by engineers with the U.S. Department of Reclamation concluded that the spill had been “preventable” and was caused by several missteps over several decades, including nearby mining operations and tunneling that the EPA overlooked when it opened a portal at the site.

Jeffrey Lagda, a spokesman for the EPA’s Inspector General, told Reuters that the probe has been ongoing for some time, and that investigators are working with prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Denver.

The state of New Mexico has sued the EPA, the state of Colorado and two mining companies over the disaster.

Gov’t agencies must consider climate: White House

By Samantha Page ThinkProgress.org

The White House on Tuesday released new guidance that directs federal agencies to consider climate change during environmental reviews.

The announcement from the Council for Environmental Quality does not create a new rule or regulation for agencies. Rather, the 34page document explains “how to consider the impacts of [agencies] actions on climate change” while undertaking National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews.

Under the guidance, agencies are directed to consider the both the project’s impact on climate change (i.e., greenhouse gas emissions caused, directly or indirectly, by the project) as well as the effects of climate change (i.e., projected sea-level rise for a coastal project).

It is “intended to help agencies make informed and transparent decisions about the impacts of climate change associated with their actions,” the White House said in a release.

Environmentalists immediately applauded the announcement, with Natural Resources Defense Council president Rhea Suh calling it a “game-changer.”

Practically speaking, the new guidance will

likely have an immediate effect on the Bureau of Land Management, which is currently reviewing its coal leasing program, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Agency (FERC), which is responsible for approving interstate natural gas pipelines and plays a role in approving natural gas export terminals.

In recent years, the Sierra Club has brought several lawsuits against FERC’s approval of export terminals, alleging that the agency has

available tools,” Matthews told ThinkProgress.

“CEQ said today those tools are objective and authoritative.”

Just last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled against the Sierra Club, saying that FERC did not need to look at the “indirect effects” of the proposed Cove Point export terminal, under construction now in Maryland. The court also agreed with FERC that a social cost of carbon tool was “neither

“Agencies need to consider the indirect effects of their actions,” said Nathan Matthews, a staff attorney with the Sierra Club. The new guidance specifically backs some of the modeling tools that the Sierra Club has been telling FERC to use.

accurate nor informative.”

Those kinds of rulings seem significantly less likely now.

In fact, the new guidance could also help courts understand what federal agencies need to consider during NEPA reviews, Matthews said. “Certainly, this can help clarify things for the courts.”

The new guidance might also play a role in the Bureau of Land Management’s coal leasing review, underway now.

The U.S. coal program — where the government leases public land to coal mining companies in exchange for a percentage of the sale price — has been criticized for both shortchanging the American taxpayer and for undercutting U.S. climate goals.

“The guidance’s provision reaffirming that federal agencies must analyze the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels extracted from public land is a huge victory for the climate,” Kassie Siegel, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute, said in a statement. “As we have long argued, NEPA mandates that before any new mining, drilling or fracking project on federal lands is approved, the agency must assess the damage to the climate caused by using those polluting fuels for transportation or to generate power.”

Under the new guidance, the Bureau of Land Management will at least have to consider the climate effects of the coal program, from land use to transportation to combustion. This could lead to a reduced program, a carbon tax, or any number of counteractions to be proposed the Bureau.

“The appropriate course of action,” Matthews noted, “is simply to leave those fossil fuels in the ground entirely.”

Fehr Graham named to Hot Firm List for the 3rd straight year VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Fehr Graham, a leading Midwest engineering and environmental firm, today announced it has earned a spot on the Zweig Group Hot Firm List for the third year in a row. Fehr Graham ranked no.

72 on the prestigious list that identified the 100 fastest-growing privately held architecture, engineering, planning and environmental consulting firms in the United States and Canada.

“Making this list three years in a row is a testament to our staff,” said Mick Gronewold, Principal and Chairman of the Board at Fehr Graham. “Their talent allows Fehr Graham to consistently grow in a responsible way which allows us to continue our high level of service to our clients and provide quality solutions.”

Placement on the list is based on both percentage revenue growth and dollar revenue growth over a three-year period compared to the other entrants.

“Being on our Hot Firm List is harder than ever and even more of an accomplishment, as the overall A/E industry is hotter than I have seen it in over 36 years,” said Mark C. Zweig, founder & CEO, Zweig Group. “Firms on the list should be proud of their accomplishment.

They are building value, creating good jobs, and truly making our world a better place.”

Fehr Graham adds this latest honor to a growing list of awards in 2016 which include

the American Council of Engineering Companies Engineering Excellence Awards in both Iowa and Illinois.

Tinker Swiss receives $6K grant from CFNIL

Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum and Gardens announced it has received a $6,000 grant for The Digitization and Rehousing of the Tinker Collection project. The grant was awarded by the Community Arts & Humanities Fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois Community Grants Program.

Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum’s current collection houses over 10,000 original objects that are used to interpret the history of the Tinker family and the city of Rockford.

Currently, there are a number of objects that remain undocumented.

The museum says object documentation within collections is essential in their use, management and preservation. The grant monies from the Community Arts & Humanities Fund will be used to document and catalog these objects using photography and scanned images.

Once properly documented and digitally cataloged, the items will be housed in proper archival materials. The act of housing these precious cultural items will not only preserve them for years of research and enjoyment to come, but will help to lessen any environmental risks due to improper storage resources.

The digital catalogs of the objects will then be placed in an accessible online database that can be used for research by community members and students worldwide.

“By digitizing the collections, they become

more accessible to the public and will help tremendously in our efforts to care for the objects in our collection” said Alix Fox, Director of Education and Collections at Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum and Gardens.

“However, accessibility is only the first step.

Over 500 signatures were gathered for the Spring Creek Bike Path petition, and we’ll be announcing this year’s #TDNE donation and recipient next monday.

Thanks to all the sponsors, including New Belgium Brewing, Rockford Police Department, the City of Rockford and IDOT, Kegel’s Bike Shop, the Rock & Roll Institute, Asspocket Productions, Rockford Roasting Co, Creative Pig Minds, our friends, family, and staff, and anyone else who helped make this one of our most fun days of the year.

See you in 2017 for the next #TDNE! Photos and words from Z ak Rotello

Oil filters will also be collected and placed into bins for draining and recycling. Please do not mix or bring in brake fluid, power steering fluids, paints, paint thinners, or other contaminants with oil or antifreeze, as these materials will not be accepted. Tires and other waste will not be accepted at this event.

Recovered oil and antifreeze can be either recycled into new products, or in the case of oil, used as a fuel source for buildings, construction work, and more.

Please take advantage of this event if you have used oil around the garage or barn.

Let’s keep used oil and antifreeze out of our public water systems, waterways, and soils and rid your residence of these materials, which can be a safety hazard around the house to people or pets.

If you have any questions about this event, or have more than 200 gallons of oil to be recycled, please call OCSWMD at 815-7324020 or visit oglecounty.org.

Stage Coach Theater presents Into the Woods

Opening August 11 at DeKalb’s Stage Coach Theater, 126 S. 5th St., will be the Stephen Sondheim/James Lapine classic Into the Woods.

The cast of 20 has been rehearsing tirelessly to bring this modern retelling of fairytales alive with familiar characters: Little Red and the Wolf, Cinderella and her cruel stepfamily, the Baker and his Wife, Rapunzel and her Witch mother, and Jack with his Giant. These are not the lighthearted Disney characterizations, but a creative merging of the original stories.

All of the people have deep desires for a change in their lives and set about achieving their wishes in act one. Each faces challenges and set-backs, but everyone is happy at the end of act one. Complications arise in act two, however, and each must come to terms with the consequences and realities of what they have created. They must finally band together to save their world and in the process they learn contentment and joy.

Tony Award-winning Into the Woods premiered on Broadway in 1987. This musical sweeps the audience through many ups and downs to arrive at a “fairytale ending” that everyone will enjoy. Performances are August 11-13 and 18-20 at 7:30 p.m. and August 14 and 21 at 2 p.m.

Tickets and information are available online stagecoachers.com or by calling 815758-1940.

Post Office hosts Made in Rural America event

In support of President Obama’s Made in Rural America Export and Investment initiative, the Rockford Post Office will host a small business educational event on international shipping and mailing, entitled Grow Your Business Day. This one-day symposium is scheduled from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., on Wednesday at the Rockford Main Post Office, located at 5225 Harrison Avenue.

Made in Rural America (MIRA) will bring together federal resources to help rural businesses access new customers and markets abroad and take advantage of international trade assistance. This cooperative interagency program allows

the Postal Service to lend online tools, supplies and international shipping expertise to help rural businesses reach new customers and markets abroad, while supporting economic growth and jobs here in the United States.

In accordance with the Made in Rural America Export and Investment initiative, the Postal Service is working collaboratively with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Small Business Administration and the Postal Customer Council. Together, they support the importance of small businesses by helping them to grow and expand into new markets.

“We are excited to take part in the Made in Rural America initiative and look forward to showcasing postal products and services in our Grow Your Business day workshop,” said Rockford Postmaster Charles Thorns. “Shipping options such as International Express and Priority Mail, and Global shipping as a whole, are just a few components of our educational plan,” added Thorns.

Postal Service Business Development Specialist Elizabeth Mikrut will also play an integral role in this one-day event by co-hosting the Grow Your Business day event. “With any national awareness campaign we want to reach out to small and medium-sized businesses that are within our region,” said Mikrut. “We look forward to being a part of this initiative, which will improve international trade from a local platform and help grow local businesses.”

Bourne: All the action, void of plot

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

A

fter the underwhelming disappointment that was The Bourne Legacy, Matt Damon returns as super killer Jason Bourne to punch and shoot his way across Europe on a one-man mission to find the truth. Although it’s nice to see Damon back in the role, along with Paul Greengrass in the director’s chair, Jason Bourne is an anticlimactic entry to the series that mirrors the frenetic energy of earlier films while offering nothing new.

With his memory intact, Bourne finds himself traveling the world and making a living by battering rivals in underground fight clubs.

Meanwhile, former Treadstone logistics technician Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) hacks into the CIA mainframe with the aim of exposing their black ops programs. When she uncovers information relating to Bourne and his father’s involvement in Treadstone, she tracks him down offering him the chance to delve deeper into his past and get some much-needed closure, and revenge.

The action is as epic as you would come to expect from the series; unfortunately, it all feels a bit stale. While the original trilogy was influential to the genre, action movies have moved on while Bourne offers much of the same. That’s not to criticize the set pieces themselves. The choreography is excellent and the carnage hard hitting. Greengrass’s shaky cam can get a little distracting at times making it difficult to invest in the encounters as we’re presented with a flurry of cuts and juddering camera work.

Bourne’s main adversary behind the scenes is CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) who is hell-bent on protecting the program by taking out Bourne. It’s a cold and

stoic performance by Jones, one which matches the film’s tone. A more stimulating villain can be found in Vincent Cassel’s assassin simply known as The Asset. He’s ruthless and calculating, thinking nothing of murdering someone who happens to be in his way. He’s a great adversary for Bourne, with Damon once again excellent in the role. The third act presents a cataclysmic climax involving a brutal battle between the two warriors.

Jason Bourne is a full on assault, a wellpaced thriller that delivers plenty of spectacle that should ward off boredom. Except it doesn’t. The convoluted story, including a pointless subplot, interrupts the pacing and creates obstacles in the fast-paced narrative. It isn’t a bad film, and although it’s an improvement on The Bourne Legacy, it never feels as important as it should. The final product is a pleasurable film, however one that becomes

quickly forgettable and in retrospect frustrating. In many ways it feels like a missed opportunity to kick-start the franchise into gear but, as always, it ends with enough loose threads to leave room for a sequel should Bourne return. I’m hoping he does by bringing something new to the table.

RAAC, downtown say goodbye to Kryptonite

By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

I

t goes without saying that Krypto has been a tremendous asset to the cool quotient of downtown since Chris Wachowiak opened its doors as such. He didn’t just have a vision; he built a team of people to also implement it – brilliant!

Wachowiak did so much more than simply open a downtown venue. He created an incubator of cool ideas for downtown. The venue was like the Ferris Bueller of venues. It felt like home to up-and-coming musicians, comedians and visual artists. It attracted the PBR lovers along with the Screw City Beer Fest devotees. Depending on what was at the BMO or the Coronado, it would fill with a crowd of people, none of which I recognized.

Wachowiak and his team created an atmosphere for artists and audiences that made you feel like you could “leap tall buildings in a single bound”.

“Chris put me on the stage before almost anybody else in town would give me a shot.

I’ve played Krypto for a decade now,” said Emily Hurd, singer-songwriter.

“He allowed me to share bills with true heroes of mine. My music career is richer and further along because of that guy. Hats off to him for all he’s done for local and touring musicians, downtown Rockford, and the world.”

Doc and Jerry, downtown trailblazers at J. R. Kortman Center for Design/Kortman Gallery want to say, “Thanks, Chris!”

“He has been dedicated to downtown

Rockford and Kryptonite for years. His energy and enthusiasm will be missed. He was able to bring a whole new crowd of people downtown to attend fun, creative and unique events.”

There are two things I am personally thankful for when it comes to Wachowiak.

The first is bringing stand-up comedy to his stage. Matt Drufke and his band of comic geniuses have been making Krypto roar with laughter over the past two years.

“I was thrilled to run Comics of Steel at Kryptonite for over two years. As a comedy producer, you rarely get a chance to see a venue that understands and supports a comedy show,” said Drufke.

“Kryptonite, with its amazing staff and supportive owner, was that venue. Jared Co-

rey is a saint who loves comedy and the comedy shows and I hope that I did Jared, Chris, and the entire staff of Kryptonite proud.”

The second thing I’m appreciative of is Krypto being the leading venue for an often underserved population, dogs that love to rock. Wachowiak instituted the Downtown Dog Walks, my personal favorite was the Halloween party. My dog Winnie wants to thank Chris for paving the way for dogs to enjoy night life in downtown Rockford. Especially since she is not really a dog park fan, she wants music and a cool atmosphere.

Hats off to Mr. Wachowiak for moving on to new challenges and thank you for being the innovator of bold, inclusive, new ideas for events downtown.

Star Trek actor family sues Chrysler over rollaway death The parents of the late Star Trek movie actor Anton Yelchin sued Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV for negligence and product liability on Tuesday over the rollaway crash of a Jeep Grand Cherokee that killed their son.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, is believed to be the first wrongful death complaint linked to the Fiat Chrysler recall in April of more than 1.1 million cars and SUVs because of vehicles that roll away after drivers exit them.

Yelchin, 27, was killed on June 19 when his 2015 Grand Cherokee, which was covered under the recall, rolled backward in the steep driveway of his Los Angeles home and crushed the actor against a brick wall and fence.

The 18-page lawsuit points to a transmission gear-selector design it describes as “defective” as being the cause of numerous driverless rollaway mishaps like the one that killed Yelchin.

Gary Dordick, the attorney representing Yelchin’s parents, said Fiat Chrysler had sent a recall letter to the actor that was received seven days after his death.

The undated letter addressed to Yelchin was displayed at the news conference and said “your vehicle may roll away, striking and injuring you, your passengers, or bystanders, if the vehicle’s engine is left running, the parking brake is not engaged, and the transmission is not in the “PARK” position before exiting the vehicle.”

Dordick said Yelchin had returned to his home on the evening of June 19 to pick up something he had forgotten and exited the car, “believing the vehicle to be in park.”

The Russian-born actor, whose parents were both celebrated figure skaters in the former Soviet Union, was best known for playing the young starship navigator Pavel Chekov in the movie reboot of “Star Trek.”

“In spite of our unbelievable grief, we decided to come here to prevent other families

from the same tragedy,” his father, Victor Yelchin, said in tearful remarks to reporters.

His wife, Irina Yelchin, said of her son, “He was very special, but now he’s very special because his death might just save some other life.”

The automaker said in a statement it had not been served with a lawsuit and declined to comment on it, but expressed its “sympathies to the Yelchin family for their tragic loss.”

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has said that the gear selectors in question clearly pose a safety issue that has led to hundreds of crashes and dozens of injuries.

The problem has been tied to at least 68 injuries, 266 crashes and 308 reports of property damage. Yelchin’s death marked the first known fatality linked to the issue.

The recall applies to 811,000 vehicles in the United States, covering the 2014-2015 model years of the Jeep Grand Cherokee

sport utility vehicle and 2012-2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 sedans.

Fiat Chrysler announced in June that it would soon furnish software upgrades to address the problem in all recalled vehicles.

Cline sets the record straight; lauds upcoming appearances with Williams Our roving reporter recently described a séance with Roy Orbison in which Patsy Cline made a surprise appearance. By coincidence or otherwise, our office was subsequently flooded with calls and emails describing Cline sightings. We have not been able to verify these reports, but our roving reporter had the good fortune of attending a concert on April 29 in which local musician Jannie Nelson appeared to channel Cline. Not only did Nelson’s voice demonstrate an uncanny resemblance to Cline’s, she appeared to be speaking for Cline as if over-

taken by the country icon’s persona.

In what might be best described as a “manifestation”, Cline (or was it Nelson?) celebrated her upcoming appearances with Hank Williams (7 p.m. August 5 at at ​ 920 3rd Ave.; 8 p.m. August 6 at Trio Grille, 101 Franks Rd., in Marengo; 4 p.m. August 7 at 624 Luther Dr., in Byron). Cline emphasized her love for the songs of Hank Williams, intimating that as a young girl her only musical ambition was to “… sing Hank Williams songs and yodel.” Cline also lauded her upcoming appear-

ance at Rockford’s Stockholm Inn. However, she stressed the fact that the date of this event has been revised to August 19.

Our publication can neither confirm nor deny the credibility of Patsy Cline sightings, apparitions or manifestations. However, the fervency and sincerity of such reports and the convincing nature Nelson’s apparent channeling are undeniable, and we are compelled to share these developments with our readers.

Commentary

How Sanders’ supporters can still win

By Karen Beckwith The Conversation

W

hat does it mean to be a good loser in politics?

In 2015, I taught a seminar called, simply, Political Losers. In the course, we read about political loss in labor strikes, in social movement campaigns, in elections and in war.

In all of these cases, the students and I asked: How do losers fight to win again? How do losers position themselves, in loss, to be victorious in the future? How can losers shape their loss to defend themselves from further loss, and, perhaps, recast their loss as an actual victory?

As I watched the Democratic National Convention, these questions returned to mind with immediate meaning. How will Bernie Sanders and his supporters respond to their defeat? Can they respond in a way that will keep their progressive movement alive?

Bernie Sanders has embraced the strategy of political learning, where defeat is acknowledged and accepted as a learning opportunity, anticipating a future in which things can be done differently “next time,” and recognizing what doesn’t or won’t work.

By accepting loss and identifying the Republican nominee as the target for further party mobilizing, Sanders is positioning himself, and those willing to follow him, for a second try at his political revolution.

Sanders has faced up to the reality of losing the nomination. As he said in his convention speech, he is working well with the Clinton campaign, and he has identified the new – if only temporary – goal of defeating Donald Trump.

Sanders is recasting his loss and regaining his footing, which may help him to advance his policy issues and to leverage a President Clinton into

adopting a policy agenda that he and his supporters favor.

Sanders has already succeeded in having a major impact on future presidential nomination procedures. Despite losing the nomination, Sanders also achieved a platform victory, arguably producing the most progressive Democratic platform in the party’s history – or certainly one more progressive that might otherwise have been the case.

Two other responses to loss, however, can be strongly self-defeating.

Some of Bernie’s supporters – unlike the candidate himself – are embracing these responses.

First, it is not helpful when losers claim that their loss is the result of cheating by others.

Sanders’ supporters, who “felt the Bern,” have directed their disappointment in defeat at former DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and at the Clinton campaign. They claim that the DNC leadership, and Wasserman Schultz specifically, “rigged” the primary nomination process to favor Clinton and to disadvantage Sanders.

Identifying “cheating” as the basis

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

for loss makes it difficult for losers to remobilize. Blaming cheaters for Sanders’ defeat signals a strategic weakness in the campaign itself and recognizes (even if untrue) that those who were defeated were outwitted. The resignation of Wasserman Schultz and her removal from the list of convention speakers may be satisfying in the short term, but it offers no meaningful way forward for those whose candidate has lost the nomination. As Sanders makes his peace with the Clinton campaign, his supporters may eventually blame Sanders himself for betraying the cause of “a new political revolution.”

Blaming others for “betrayal” is similarly self-defeating. A claim that one’s loss is the result of betrayal signals a structural weakness. Asserting that betrayal by your own side caused your defeat is a strong signal that you could not even rely on your own movement for support. And attributing blame on the basis of betrayal is a poor basis for remobilization. It is more likely to mean the beginning of the end for one’s movement.

Signs of betrayal claims emerged as early as April in the Sanders campaign.

Ralph Nader accused “big union leaders”

for having “betrayed” Sanders by their endorsement of Clinton. By the time Sanders himself endorsed Clinton on July 12, social media was rife with complaints of betrayal. Sanders’ own supporters booed him as he spoke to the delegates from the convention floor.

By issuing accusations of betrayal against other Democrats and Sanders himself, Sanders’ supporters will have nowhere to go, and they will not be able to recuperate their loss in a way that will permit them to move forward.

To be clear, the reason Sanders did not win the Democratic Party’s nomination for president is that Democrats preferred the alternative, Hillary Clinton. Black Democrats, Midwestern Democrats, Democrats in California and Florida and New York and Ohio, Democratic women, Democrats in primary states – these Democrats chose Hillary Clinton to be their nominee.

She won more votes (and won them through the difficult route of proportional representation) than did Senator Sanders. Hillary Clinton won not because of emails sent by the former chair of the DNC or because Clinton “cheated.” Clinton won because more Democrats voted for her than voted for Sanders in primaries and caucuses.

It’s hard to lose, and it’s harder still to lose in an arena where your opponents – in this case, Clinton supporters – are reveling in their victory. Learning how to lose, however, is important. Losing well means that, even in defeat, it is possible to rise again.

Will Sanders and his supporters be gracious in defeat now so they can be victorious in the future? The future of his revolution may depend on it.

Madigan ignored his own unpopularity in Philly

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

‘D

o you think he knows what he’s doing?” asked a top Republican last week about House Speaker Michael Madigan’s high-profile role at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Madigan heaped public praise last week on at least two potential Democratic gubernatorial candidates, US Sen. Dick Durbin and Chris Kennedy. And he mentioned US Rep. Tammy Duckworth by name as his state’s next US Senator during Tuesday’s presidential nomination roll call, which was broadcast throughout the country.

That may all seem like the usual national convention duties for a state Democratic Party chairman like Madigan, and it is. But Speaker Madigan’s poll numbers are so darned awful that the Republicans believe anyone he publicly “touches” is hugely tainted. A recent Republican-sponsored poll found that Madigan’s favorability rating was just 13 percent.

“He should keep doing what he’s doing,” cracked one Republican campaign type, who said he was carefully making notes of Madigan’s public utterances.

As is often the case, the two political parties exist in parallel universes.

Yes, the Democrats say, Madigan polls poorly. But they don’t believe that voters will make up their minds about individual races based on that one “issue” alone. And some are even saying they’re pleased that the Republicans are “wasting” their money on a strategy that the Democrats believe won’t work.

Indeed, the Republicans spent tons of money during several election cycles attempting to tie the fabulously unpopular and currently incarcerated Rod Blagojev-

ich to Democrats, and it only worked once, against Rep. Jay Hoffman in a newly drawn district with lots of unfamiliar voters. And they’ve been blasting away at Madigan for years, without any discernible impact at the polls.

Even so, if there was another high-profile Illinois Democrat out there whose favorability rating was hovering around 13 percent, you can be certain that Madigan and his people would mandate that their candidates and incumbents stay as far away from that person as humanly possible.

Heck, the person’s rating wouldn’t even need to be that low. How many Downstate

Illinois Democrats openly campaigned with Pat Quinn two years ago when he lost every county but one to Rauner?

The simple fact is that the GOP is placing a multi-million-dollar bet this year on a single person’s smashing unpopularity. Yes, the Republicans have tried and failed to do this same thing for literally decades. But never has so much money and effort been expended on the task—and Madigan has never been as well-known as he is today.

Local news media outlets have so far been mostly cooperative, and the Republicans essentially have their own “newspapers” that are being mailed to voters just to make sure

their message gets through.

The House Democrats are expected to counter all this with various retorts, including one that labels the Republican Bruce Rauner as a “failed governor.”

The Democrats will try to tie Republicans to a governor with a dismal 33 percent job approval rating who, they’ll say, wants to slash vital services and inflict harm on everyday working people.

In a preview of this, Rep. John Bradley’s latest TV ad claims the Democrat “stood up to Bruce Rauner’s massive cuts to our schools,” and points out that Rauner is “bankrolling” his opponent’s campaign and claims his GOP opponent “is worse than Rauner.” Bradley, D-Marion, sits at the very top of the Republicans’ target list and he has been hammered for weeks in the mail and on TV for being a Madigan “pawn.”

The House Democrats have often launched their campaigns in early to mid-August, well before the Republicans could afford to fight back. This time, though, the Republicans are flush with Rauner’s money and have dominated the playing field for weeks. Speaker Madigan reportedly told attendees at an Illinois Federation of Teachers political conference in early July that the governor’s campaign operation had spent more than a million dollars on House races in just two weeks.

And they’re not just spending money on negative attacks. A recent mailer for Rep. Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, touts her vote for the stopgap budget “without a tax increase.” The mailer also claims Rep. Bryant is fighting “against the Chicago political machine.” The Republicans have already sent innumerable mailers like that to voters everywhere before the Democrats have even gotten out of the gate.

Not mentioned, of course, is that the stopgap budget Bryant voted for had an $8 billion deficit and will create a $10 billion state payment backlog by December.

Details, details.

Letter to the Editor

Contested races necessary for better government Illinois voters in the 2016 primary were reminded again of how uncontested state races left us without choices. A major cause of this deficit is career politicians who draw legislative districts to benefit their party or specific incumbents. President Obama identified this barrier to democracy in congressional redistricting (February 2016, Springfield): “In America,

politicians should not pick their voters; voters should pick their politicians.” Attempting to remedy this for Illinois, over one-half million Illinois voters signed petitions to put the Independent Map Amendment on the fall ballot.

The Amendment will reform the rules and eliminate gerrymandering through a fair and impartial redistricting process.

Collecting signatures that chilly, rainy day last spring, I was amazed that this initiative has the hearty support of voters from both sides of the aisle. While the Amendment passed muster with the Board of Elections, the advocate-organizers now face entrenched powers in Springfield who have filed suit in a late bid to keep it off the ballot. The July 10 Chicago

Tribune editorial supporting the initiative calls out the “Democratic machine.” There is plenty of blame to go around in this political ‘quid pro quo’; let’s remind our elected representatives to give this power back to the people.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Aug. 3-9, 2016

This Week: Enjoy the remaining energies of Venus in Leo through Friday, while romantic actions are displayed in a grandiose fashion. This passionate vibration will carry us through the week until it settles into earthy Virgo on Saturday. At that point, love and affection will be demonstrated by random acts of kindness and practical activities. Try not to confuse these actions as a lack of adoration after the demonstrative previous planetary activity. Remember, little things mean a lot in life. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — The focus appears to be on a vulnerable water sign female during this time, and you may not know how to proceed. At first you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and do whatever is necessary to make things more comfortable for her or her family. Yet you’re not certain if you would be crossing boundaries or not. Your sense of humor balances all obstacles, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You may be pushing yourself through an overwhelming burden. Scheduling conflicts or pure exhaustion may have you on your last nerve. Take a big step back and breathe for a

moment. When all is said and done you have made the right choice to re-evaluate your decisions. Vehicles may be adding additional conflicts early on this week. By week’s end, you find that a mountain was made out of a mole hill, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — The focus this week is on home and property. You may be feeling restless as you look to make a change within your current humble abode.

During the month of August all of these annoying details finally fall into place so you can concentrate on other things, like your personal life for example. September promises to be an extraordinary month for you, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A loss of a loved one may be haunting you during this time frame, creating a sense of melancholy you can’t seem to shake. Don’t fight it, embrace it instead. The sooner you do the quicker your energy will shift. The weekend promises fabulous connections with friends or loved ones from your past. You learn some interesting information as well that fills in the blanks from a previous mystery, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — This is a really good time to focus on the serious matters at hand as opposed to the supposed outside influences that appear to be controlling your life. If you are getting sucked into brush fires others are setting you won’t be able to see the truth behind all of the drama. You have other fabulous influences that will enhance the quality of your life arriving during this time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Now would be a great time to make lemonade out of lemons. You can’t jump the gun and assume that all will fail if everything isn’t perfect. Sometimes the greatest lessons arrive with some of life’s biggest challenges. By week’s end, you will know exactly who your allies are. Make sure that you acknowledge their presence, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — The opportunity for a romantic encounter with some staying power is within your orbit during the month of August. This may not manifest entirely during this lunar cycle which is totally fine, but the root system will develop with the ability to move into something of significance during the months to come, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You may need to have a heart-to-heart talk with a family member or loved one about a child or pet at this time. Maybe you need to pick up additional responsibility in this arena or else make it clear that you are moving on.

In either case, it will allow others to plan accordingly. Romance begins to evolve in a more productive pace. Keep it up, Pisces.

Take that to heart, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You may need to make a quick decision about a legal matter or help another with a similar situation shortly. Use your trump cards with connections that you have made in the past to solidify this deal. When all is said and done everything will work out for the greatest good. By week’s end, you have a plan to incorporate the weak and the strong. All’s well that ends well, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You are beginning to see a long-term goal manifest right before your eyes. Now, don’t start the self-sabotaging element that you are used to out of fear. Allow this to unfold and step up to accept what is rightfully yours. You have worked long and hard to obtain your heart’s desires. However, slow down a bit and try not to put the cart before the horse, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Finances are breaking loose for the better at this time.

You are able to start putting away some money for a rainy day now instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul. As a result for this you may feel the urge to splurge a bit and treat yourself to an unexpected pleasure. Take your time and choose wisely. This is a long-term commitment, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Self-employed or self-contracted career opportunities begin to align during this lunar cycle. Keep you ear to the ground and an open mind to expand your financial sector. Working smart-

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay.

Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability.

Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline.

Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills.

Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Mr. Green Car

Auto emergency braking the next necessary safety feature

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

A

s often happens in the automotive industry, features and options that first appear on luxury and high-end vehicles drift down through the lineup until nearly all cars have them. Case in point – electric windows. Try to find a manual window crank in a new car today.

From a long list of new safety technologies, automatic emergency braking has started drifting down into the cars and trucks bought by the middle class. Using radar sensors, lasers and cameras, cars can alert the driver to an impending collision (Forward Collision Warning) and if there is no response from the driver, begin to activate the brakes, pretension the seat belts for a collision and try to stop the vehicle in time to prevent or reduce the severity of a rear-end collision.

Automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems come in three forms: Higher Speed AEB, Low Speed AEB and Pedestrian Auto Emergency Braking. Each manufacturer has a different name for their systems but the features are essentially the same and use similar technology. While any given vehicle may have just one of these systems or a combination, it is rapidly moving in the direction of having a three-in-one AEB system.

Higher Speed AEB can detect your car closing the gap with a vehicle ahead of you up

to 200-250 meters (two football fields or so) away and begin the alert and slowing process.

This happens at highway speeds using longrange radar.

Low Speed AEB may use lasers to detect a vehicle ahead and more quickly apply the brakes in a stop and go traffic situation where the alert system would be too slow for the driver to react.

Pedestrian AEB uses cameras to detect the presence of persons or animals on or near the roadway. An alert and automatic braking may be featured. This is the newest technology and is less frequently found, but soon should be quite common.

Often cars that have AEB also have Adaptive Cruise Control since the sensors are common to both systems. With Adaptive Cruise Control. Not only will the speed be held on the highway, but the vehicle can maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of them – slow down to match them or see that the passing lane is clear to maintain the set speed to pass. If something suddenly appears to block the path of the vehicle the AEB system will slow and stop the car. It is a very nice feature. And this sort of technology is what is leading us towards self-driving cars.

The auto insurance industry likes AEB very much and should be rewarding new car owners with rate discounts. Although only about 10 percent of vehicles have AEB at

present – that will change rapidly. Studies in Australia have shown that AEB has yielded 53 percent lower accident severity and in 35 percent of cases completely avoided a rear end collision – but these data are hard to collect – as an accident that doesn’t happen doesn’t get reported. Still it is expected that accident related deaths and severe injuries will be reduced by about 25 percent with widespread implementation of this technology.

Since there are many new safety technologies in new vehicles – if you are shopping for a new

car or truck it would be worth your while to study the manufacturer’s brochures or online resources to see what is available and have it fully explained. The showroom may not be the best place to try to absorb all this information.

We love our great old classic cars, but there is no doubt that cars and trucks have become far safer as the marketplace has found that safety features are a strong selling point. It may be worth buying a new car just to catch up with these many great technologies as well as increase your fuel economy.

It’s sweet corn season

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

On my drive back from a farm yesterday, the abundance of roadside signs made it clear: the sweet corn is ready. Summer means sweet corn. You probably have a farm you always buy from. You might even grow a certain variety each year in your backyard plot. Whichever way you acquire sweet corn, it’s a telling sign that we are at midseason for the summer.

Unlike other plants you grow, knowing when the sweet corn is ready depends on a number of factors. Silks will appear at the top of the ear. These shiny, brown “silks” are each connected to a kernel on the ear. About 20 days after these appear, the corn will be ready. The silks will turn brown and dry up while the husks will still be green. To further test if your ear is ready, use a fingernail to puncture one of the kernels on the ear. The liquid that oozes out should be milky in color and not clear. If it’s clear, it needs a couple more days. The corn should be harvested in

this milky stage.

Sweet corn usage will vary and depends on the type of sweet corn it is. A normal sugar (SU) has a sweet and creamy texture that must be eaten within a short time. Silver Queen is an example of a normal sugar type.

Sugary enhancer (SE) is sweeter, tender, and with a creamy texture. It has a higher initial sugar that allows for longer refrigeration. The Silver King variety is a SE type.

Supersweet (Sh2) has a high sugar content than SU and holds sweetness longer than the other two do. Sh2 though lacks a creamy texture. Illini Gold is a Sh2. When purchasing your sweet corn, ask the grower what the variety is and this will help you to figure out how sweet it is and how to store it.

When you get your corn, keep your ears unhusked and store in the fridge. As soon as the corn is picked, it will begin converting sugars to starches so you’ll need to have a plan for how to use them.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

The Dearly Departed Sisters loved French food, through a weird set of circumstances.

Unfortunately, Aunt Millie could not go to Paris with her husband Jim McCartney on a business trip when he worked for J.I. Case in the 1970s. The French business contacts Uncle Jim had made returned the visit, and Uncle Jim invited them down to the farmette in Ellsworth, Illinois for a French dinner.

Aunt Millie wanted to murder him because she did not know a baguette from a croissant at the time. Eternal student and school teacher Ma Schier told her it was just a matter of research because Aunt Millie was a great cook. So Aunt Millie bought her first issues of Gourmet Magazine and Bon Apetit

Magazine and studied up. Her creations were a big hit with the Frenchmen at the big farm kitchen table, with peacocks, chickens, ducks and geese loose in the yard.

I remember her saying, “They did a lot of kissing on both cheeks and hugging, and I couldn’t understand what they said.

They were very happy. They ate and drank everything.” Uncle Jim’s contribution (besides the wine Aunt Millie told him to buy) was teaching his new Parisian friends the nuances of great quantities of Schlitz beer.

Irritated with her husband and pleased with her success, that was the first Christmas she brought a big baking pan of stuffed quail and another big baking pan of escargot to the family gathering.

Try another of her favorites...

Corn and soybeans in the home stretch

By Leanne Lucas U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The final month of the 2015-2016 corn and soybean marketing year is under way, with use during the next four weeks to determine the magnitude of year-ending stocks. Darrel Good, University of Illinois agricultural economist, says the 2016 growing season for those two crops is also entering the final stages, with weather over the next six weeks influencing the final yield outcome.

“For soybeans, it appears that exports during the current marketing year may exceed the current USDA forecast of 1.795 billion bushels,” Good says. “With just under five weeks remaining in the year, exports need to average only 6.6 million bushels per week to reach the projected level.”

Unshipped export sales as of July 21 stood at 236 million bushels and export inspections for the two weeks that ended July 28 averaged 25.5 million bushels per week. USDA estimates of the domestic soybean crush are available through May. The June estimate will be released today, although the NOPA estimate for June has already been released. According to Good, cumulative marketing-year crush estimates suggest that the crush during the final two months of the year needs to total about 300 million bushels in order for the marketing-year total to reach the USDA crush projection of 1.89 billion bushels. The 300 million bushel requirement is about equal to the

actual crush during the same two months last year. The crush in May 2016 was about 2.6 million bushels larger than in May 2015.

The USDA will release the estimate of 2015-16 marketing year-ending stocks (September 1) on September 30. “While the magnitude of both soybean exports and crush during the 2015-16 marketing year will be well known by that time,” Good says, “the market does not always correctly anticipate the year-ending stocks estimate. That estimate differed from the average trade guess by 20 million bushel or more in 10 of the previous 20 years and by more than 30 million bushels in four of those years. The largest difference was 61 million bushels in 2008.”

For corn, it appears that marketing-year exports will be just short of the USDA projection of 1.9 billion bushels. With just under five weeks remaining in the year, exports need to average 54.2 million bushels per week to reach the projected level.

Unshipped export sales as of July 21 stood at 370 million bushels, but export inspections for the two weeks that ended July 28 averaged only 48.5 million bushels per week. The Census Bureau estimate of June exports will be released on August 5 and will provide further insight about the potential magnitude of marketing-year exports.

The USDA’s estimate of corn used for ethanol and co-product production during the month of June will also be released today, Good says.

Estimates through May, however, suggest that

the marketing-year total may fall a bit short of the current USDA projection.

Both exports and domestic non-feed use of corn during the 2015-16 marketing year will be well known when the USDA releases the September 1 stocks estimate. “However, the magnitude of feed and residual use during the final quarter of the year will not be known,” Good notes, “but instead will be revealed by the stocks estimate.

As a result, theSeptember 1 stocks estimate has occasionally provided a surprise. That estimate has differed from the average trade guess by more than 100 million bushels in six of the past twenty years. The largest difference was 301 million bushels in 2010.”

The USDA’s first survey-based forecasts of the size of the 2016 U.S. corn and soybean crops will be released on August 12. Based on generally favorable weather so far this summer and exceptionally high crop condition ratings, that survey is expected to reveal prospects for very high U.S. average yields for both crops and record or near record large crops.

Newswires will be releasing production estimates from various private analysts in the next few days. According to Good, those private analysts have not always correctly anticipated the USDA production forecast in August. The difference between the average trade guess for corn and the USDA forecast exceeded 250 million bushel in nine of the previous 20 years.

The largest difference was 354 million bushels

in 2015. For soybeans, the difference between the average trade guess and the USDA August forecast exceeded 50 million bushels in 11 of the previous 20 years and exceeded 100 million bushels in five of those years. The largest difference was 174 million bushels in 2015.

The USDA will release new corn and soybean production forecasts in September, October, and November with the final production estimates to be released in January 2017. “The final estimates of the U.S. average yield and production always deviate from the August forecast,” Good says.

For corn the final yield estimate exceeded the August forecast in 11 of the previous 20 years; 12 of the previous 20 years for soybeans. For corn, the absolute difference between the final estimate and the August forecast exceeded three bushels in 12 of the 20 years and exceeded five bushels in six years. For soybeans the difference exceeded 1.5 bushels in nine of the 20 years and exceeded three bushels in five years. Estimates of planted acreage of corn and soybeans may also change, particularly in October, due to the availability of FSA planted acreage data.

“USDA production and stocks estimates occasionally provide surprises to the corn and soybean markets,” Good says. “Upcoming consumption estimates and production forecasts, however, would have to provide historically large surprises in one direction to alter expectations of a build-up of stocks of U.S. corn and soybeans during the year ahead.”

Japan, South Korea block certain US wheat varieties over GMO concerns: USDA

By P.J. Huffstutter Reuters

CHICAGO – Japan and South Korea have both taken steps to block certain imports of U.S. wheat after unapproved genetically-modified (GMO) plants from Monsanto Co seeds were found growing in Washington state, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said on Monday.

Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry said it will suspend purchases of all Western White wheat from the United States for food use, and all purchases of Western White wheat from the U.S. West Coast, but not from the Gulf, for feed use until it can start testing incoming shipments, according to the USDA. Japan has also suspended distribution of all previously purchased U.S. wheat until testing is established. It is the first time Japan has blocked U.S. wheat imports since mid-2013, when a different strain of GMO wheat – also developed by Monsanto, but never commercially released – was found on a farm in Oregon.

South Korea has suspended clearance

of U.S. wheat for food use, the USDA said.

South Korea, the fifth largest market for U.S. wheat, had already said it would step up quarantine measures for U.S. milling and

feed wheat shipments.

In 2013, some Asian countries along with Japan halted U.S. western white wheat imports for months. In 2014, another

group of biotech wheat plants – also developed by Monsanto – were discovered near a Montana State University crop research facility.

Since then, Japan and other wheat importers regularly test shipments of U.S. wheat for biotech traits.

Japan expects to lift its new restriction once it has a system in place to test grain for the new GMO trait seen in the Washington state wheat plants, the USDA said.

“We knew they (Japan and South Korea) were going to be cautious about this until they had the test in hand,” said Steve Mercer, spokesman for trade group U.S. Wheat Associates.

The USDA expects the latest suspensions to end quickly because testing supplies, which include wheat samples sent by Monsanto, should arrive in Japan and South Korea in the next few days, the USDA spokeswoman said.

U.S. federal and state agriculture officials have confirmed an inquiry is under way to figure out how the 22 unapproved GMO wheat plants came to be growing in an unplanted Washington state farm field.

Home & Garden

Tower Gardens may become our new reality

By Richard Gubbe Contributor

W

hen our soil becomes too depleted of nutrients and saturated with chemicals from herbicides and acid rain, alternative growing will become a necessity instead of a novelty.

Currently, there are indoor hydroponic facilities in action but the amount of equipment and the expansiveness of the operation challenges cost effectiveness. Another solution catching on is to create an ever-contributing supply by growing indoors and by growing upward.

In 1993, Tim Blank took the first step toward what was to become his life’s work when he was hired by Walt Disney World in Florida as an intern at Epcot Center’s Living with the Land pavilion. Taking visitors on a boat ride through the American plains, the rainforest and the African desert, Living with the Land explored how innovative technologies permit more efficient food growth while preserving the environment. The ride culminates in a futuristic world of plants growing without soil.

“The Living with the Land pavilion and I were a perfect match,” Blank said. “After six months as an intern, I spent the next six years conducting research in every horticultural discipline imaginable – all in the controlled agricultural environment of The Land.” He also served as a research liaison for the Department of Energy and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) partnership with Walt Disney World.

In 2000, he accepted the position of Chief Horticulturist and Greenhouse Manager of the Living with the Land pavilion. As Greenhouse Manager, he was responsible for four hydroponic bio-domes over a twoacre area, consisting of tropical, temperate, productive and innovative greenhouses. As chief horticulturist, he managed a team of scientists and interns and traveled in the U.S. and abroad sharing the Disney research while bringing back the latest horticultural technologies.

He left Disney to launch Future Growing, where he still serves as President. “Future Growing is dedicated to reintroducing healthy food to the American family,” he says.

He developed a vertical growing system called the Tower Garden that allows people to grow their own nutritious fruits and vegetables inside year-round and outside seasonally.

The Tower Garden is a patented vertical aeroponic food production system designed for urban farms, rooftop gardens and commercial growing operations. Because of

its vertical design, the system is space and energy efficient.

Small and large operations have popped up and include O’Hare International Airport and farms in Arizona and California with as many as 300 towers. Their focus is growing lettuce and other green vegetables and flowers that aren’t from a tree or root vegetable such as potatoes and carrots.

With the Tower Garden, people produce food with a fraction of the effort and natural resources and in a fraction of the time required by conventional gardening, The basic Tower Garden unit has a 2.5-by2.5-inch footprint, and uses modular stackable growing pots. With an 11-pot maximum configuration, you can grow up to 44 plants per tower.

Plants are fed a water-based ionic mineral solution called Aeroponic Power-Gro. Aero-

ponic Power-Gro contains a range of ionic minerals and plant nutrients. Aeroponic Power-Gro is the world’s first high-performance ionic mineral solution specifically designed for all types of food and flowering crops. The pH balanced blend of plant nutrients stimulates plant roots, flowers, fruits and leaves. Unlike conventional hydroponic fertilizers, it can be used to grow everything from gourmet lettuce and edible flowers to vined tomatoes.

In the summer of 2011, the CDA and HMS Host Corporation collaborated to install an aeroponic garden in the mezzanine level of the O’Hare Rotunda Building.

It was the first aeroponic garden at any airport in the world. The Rotunda Building is located in Terminal 3 over the corridor to Concourse G. Ticketed airport visitors can view the

garden while taking in a meal in the lounge area with a meal that contains some vegetables and herbs grown just a few feet away as many restaurants at the airport buy the food right there.

The plastic used is made from some of the best food grade plastic available and free of components commonly found in today’s agriculture-grade plastics. Each unit typically lasts 15-20 years and is completely opaque to keep all sunlight out, which naturally inhibits algae growth. Most white plastics are not opaque and degrade quickly over time, as solar UV radiation tends to break plastic down from the inside out.

Organic seeds for the Tower Garden are started in natural rock fiber seeding cubes.

After germination, the cubes are placed in full light for a week or two, where they can develop into hardy seedlings ready to transplant.

The Tower Garden has a 25-gallon reservoir at its base. This reservoir stores the Aeroponic Power-Gro ionic mineral nutrient solution. Inside the reservoir is a small, low-wattage submersible pump. The pump draws the nutrient solution up through the center of each pot all the way to the top of the tower.

The nutrient solution drips through a device that evenly cascades the nutrient solution over the plant roots. The falling nutrient solution feeds the plants’ roots and becomes highly oxygenated as gravity tumbles it back down to the reservoir.

This process is continually repeated with timers. Grow lights can be attached to the sides. Units cost between $600 and $1,200 and include food, pH balancing and testing, pumps, siphon, germination kit and organic seeds. The taller unit or one that includes lights raises the cost. Extra-large plant sites can consist of 120,000-250,000 plants per acre. Broccoli, peppers, watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes, edible flowers and just about anything green.

The only drawbacks seen are that flowering plants such as tomatoes and cucumbers need to be pollinated indoors by using a small paint brush or a cotton swab. Greens such as lettuce, bok choy and herbs grow generously and have more than two or three productions of leaves.

Water, preferably water that doesn’t come directly from a city tap or well is best. Filling it with water weekly is needed.

Leaving it alone for a week or more at a time is fine but there will be plenty of growth while away.

It’s how Jack could have built his beanstalk.

There’s so much parody and roster turnover across the league each season that if you can put together a couple of decent drafts, hire a head coach with a rejuvenating message, etc. then you’ll find yourself in the postseason.

Of course, there’s a difference between a fringe playoff team and an actual Super Bowl contender. It isn’t completely immeasurable.

We’re just talking the obvious difference in talent level and coaching. Ultimately it’s up to your franchise what path in contention is taken.

You’re either stuck in the middle as a team that’s just making it and getting by with no hope or the break through is imminent.

With these Bears in a pseudo rebuild, it’s too early to discern which route they’ll take. This is a franchise that has made the postseason only six times since 1991 and hasn’t made it to the dance in five years. You’d think with that kind of blemish, Chicago would be satisfied with regular playoff berths, staying convinced that as long as you’re dancing, anything could happen.

Given every free agent acquisition like Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman or draft pick, the Bears are aiming higher than just a wild card playoff berth in the near future. The youthful exuberance from the draft in receiver Kevin White, defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, and outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, is what will ultimately prove to be the difference.

The Bears haven’t gathered younger talent like this since 2003 and that led to quite the core of Brian Urlacher, Charles Tillman, Lance Briggs, etc. under Lovie Smith. However, that version of the Bears was often criticized for a lack of team balance. Truthfully, there weren’t many core pieces offensively to complement the defense, unless you were a huge Rex Grossman fan, which obviously wasn’t in the stars.

Kevin White is a vision realized for the offense that will look to be special not only with Jay Cutler in the next few seasons, but for the next decade. The explosive White, who has drawn comparisons to Andre Johnson, is the homegrown talent the Bears have needed to contend.

By early accounts through camp, White has been putting on a show with his counterpart mentor Alshon Jeffery. The two have been having their way with Bears corners making receptions the equivalent of dunks in basketball.

White has been so good early, that people have been almost forgetting he’s essentially a rookie after missing last season due to injury.

It’s scary to ponder what White can become with more polish if this is his early jumping point. With White 24-years-old and Jeffery at the prime age of 26, the Bears have hopes of a dunking orchestra, a wrinkle in their offense that could lead them for years deep into January provided White continues this trajectory.

To contrast, because the Bears finally understand team balance, Goldman and Floyd are integral pieces that the Bears expect to be cornerstones terrorizing offensive lines together for the next decade.

With the anchor Goldman, who made the NFL All-Rookie Team last season, you expect a leap to multiple Pro Bowl talent, the kind of guy who controls the line of scrimmage by himself in the biggest games. Now to add to that young danger, you give him one of the most explosive athletes in this year’s draft in Leonard Floyd, a potential pass-rushing dynamo off the edge.

Theoretically, the second year Goldman and rookie Floyd play off of each other on the inside and outside pass rush for years. If someone isn’t getting home to the quarterback and disrupting play, then you’re opening up space for your dynamic partner. One can’t state enough how crucial it is to have a pass-rushing duo like this in the modern NFL. It’s the way to attack offenses on a consistent basis at all levels with your front and the Bears have given themselves that infusion.

Nevertheless, by playing the scale to a tee, the Bears aren’t looking to be an also-ran playoff team. With the proper foundation developed by great coaching, the talent will flourish to be failsafe.

Guys like White, Goldman, and Floyd aren’t the only young pieces that give these Bears hope.

They’re just the inherent core symbols of a new

generation transforming franchise postseason success history. The idea is to have your core exceed other contenders’ cores – or at least match them and the Bears finally have that ideal.

Living up to these expectations will be immense pressure, but if things go according to plan, that pressure will create perfect shining diamonds of White and company.

More camp observations and notes:

•Willie Young rewarded with contract extension: Everyone wondered whether the 30-year-old defensive end turned outside linebacker turned hybrid edge rusher would be able to fit into Vic Fangio’s 3-4 defense last season.

Young, after all, was a hand-in-the-ground pass rusher for 4-3 defenses his entire preceding career. Coming off of an Achilles injury, Young started slow and many speculated through the early season’s goings that he would be on his way out before the mid-season trade deadline.

Boy how things change in the flash of a pan.

After just one sack and seven total tackles through the first half of the season, Young would flourish with 17 tackles and 5.5 sacks in a supporting edge role that suited him perfectly.

He proved his value and exceeded expectations of a previously to be believed limited skill set to a team reaching new heights.

Now, he’s been rewarded for it with an extension (the exact specific terms are still unknown). This kind of contract for Young is not only great for the individual player, but sends a message from general manager Ryan Pace to the rest of the Bears. Buy in and fall in line and you’ll be rewarded customarily. Young wasn’t originally courted by Pace or head coach John Fox to fit in their plans but he persevered and

proved his worth.

Now, this contract will reverberate to the other Bears still looking to make their mark.

•Slot competition heats up: Chicago’s 7th round pick Daniel Braverman doesn’t appear to be your average late round player. He’s been dazzling the Bears in Bourbonnais so far with acrobatic catches and proving to be quite the reliable target. Many speculated in May, whether Braverman was the slot receiver of the future in the mold of guys like Julian Edelman and Wes Welker. No one was denying his talent level and football acumen, he just needed an opening.

Well, with the incumbent Eddie Royal sidelined and in the Bears’ concussion protocol just a few days into camp, Braverman now has his opportunity to seize and never look back. If these new repetitions confirm that he is this consistent electric talent, the Bears are in much better shape offensively than they could have ever imagined.

•Early injury concerns: In each of Fox’s previous two coaching stops in Denver and Carolina, his teams made the postseason in his second year. The Bears with their invigorated mix of talent on both sides of the ball will be looking to continue that trend provided they can stay healthy. The first week of camp hasn’t been kind in that regard.

As already mentioned, Royal is in the concussion protocol and he’s joined there by the veteran tight end Zach Miller. No matter what your thoughts are on Braverman, Royal should still be an incremental piece for this offense, he just has to be on the field. Miller, on the other hand, will be entering the first season of his career as the unquestioned starter with not a lot of proven depth behind him. He’s too important to miss any significant time.

While we aren’t particularly sure of what Rob Housler and Khari Lee will bring to the table as the back-ups, Miller needs to be the consistent workhorse. He can’t do that if he isn’t healthy and given the previous injuries in his career, you would be hard pressed to not be a little concerned if you’re the Bears on whether Miller can make it through the entire season.

And then you have a calf strain to your best offensive lineman in Kyle Long, who hasn’t practiced since the first day of camp, and an on-again off-again health parade with Floyd, who was battling the flu early and now recently sprained his shoulder.

Success in the NFL isn’t always within your control. Often the healthier team comes out on top, not necessarily better. That’s destiny out of your control.

If the Bears even want to enter the playoff conversation, they better hope this injury bug is just early bad fortune.

Cubs make moves for pen; Sox hold on again

By Cat Garcia Contributor

A

s the 2016 trade deadline has now passed and the calendar changes to August, the Cubs are gearing up for a strong second half campaign. Bullpen help, specifically in the form of a left-handed reliever, was the target area of concern going into the deadline, but giving the bullpen a total revamp is the route the Cubs took instead.

The Cubs added three new relief pitchers to an already exceptionally strong late-inning arsenal, and gave up barely any pieces that will be missed in return. The Cubs have successfully come away from the trade deadline a better team while leaving the major league roster intact. No blockbuster Miller-for-Schwarber trades were needed.

A last minute move, the Cubs acquired Angels right-handed reliever Joe Smith just moments before the 3 p.m. deadline on Monday. Smith is a ten-year veteran of the game, a sidearm reliever who has a 56.6 percent career groundball rate. Smith currently has a 3.82 ERA on the season and a 4.62 FIP. Since joining the Cubs bullpen, left-handed reliever Mike Montgomery has appeared

who returned from Tommy John surgery just last season, pitched to a 4.08 ERA in Tampa Bay. The Giants made a few other small moves before the Matt Moore deal, trading backup catcher Andrew Susac to the Milwaukee Brewers in return from reliever Will Smith.

Smith has seen a decline in his peripherals this season, with a FIP nearly one run higher than his ERA at 4.27, along with an uptick in home runs allowed, a drop in strand rate, and a decrease in ground balls.

Eduardo Nunez will be a help offensively for the Giants, as Nunez is posting a healthy slash line of .295/.326/.437 and was a part of the 2016 All-Star Team for the Twins.

The Indians certainly had the most interesting deadline of all the teams. Early in the weekend already being deemed the winners of the deadline after acquiring catcher Jonathan Lucroy as well as pitcher Andrew Miller, arguably two of the most sought after pieces to be moved this deadline, those dreams were quickly snuffed when Lucroy exercised

in four games and allowed three earned runs with two walks and four strikeouts.

The sample size is small, and it’s not as if the Cubs were heavily relying on him to bridge a gap in the bullpen, so the poor performance to Smith start off shouldn’t be a cause for concern.

On the other side of things, despite his first blown save in a Cubs uniform on Saturday, newcomer Aroldis Chapman has dazzled in his first four appearances, striking out six while only allowing one earned run and no walks. Chapman continues to bring the heat, throwing his trademark 100-plus mph heaters with exceptional frequency.

The Cubs took two of a four-game set against the White Sox last week, both victories coming at home, before taking on the Seattle Mariners and winning two of a threegame set. Wednesday the Cubs will close out the homestand with one final matchup with

the Marlins before an off day on Thursday.

The Cubs will then head to Oakland to take on the Athletics for a three-game set.

• On the South Side, the speculation coming into trade deadline week was quite loud; howTilson ever, the reality of the deadline at U.S. Cellular was rather quiet.

Rumors and apprehension have swirled throughout the White Sox fan base recently, starting as far back as Hahn’s poetic dirge about his club being “mired in mediocrity” when he met with the press on July 21.

Trade rumors were fueled even more when the statement was promptly followed by the spectacle pitcher Chris Sale put on in the clubhouse that weekend. However, the thought that the White Sox would move Sale or Quintana became a fruitless reality by 3 p.m. on Monday.

“We had a number of conversations

with just about every team in baseball at one point or another over the last week plus.” General Manager Rick Hahn told the media. “But ultimately no other deals presented themselves that made sense for the White Sox from a long-term competitiveness standpoint.”

The White Sox did make one move, trading relief pitcher Zach Duke to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Charlie Tilson, who the White Sox brass wasted no time in promoting to the major league club.

Tilson, a 23-year old from Wilmette, was ranked a top 10 prospect in the Cardinals system according to Baseball America. Tilson made his debut with the White Sox club on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

The White Sox won two of a four-game set against the Cubs this week before dropping a three-game series to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

The club will finish out their road trip in Detroit on Thursday before heading back to Chicago to take on the Baltimore Orioles this weekend at U.S. Cellular Field.

his no-trade clause and vetoed the move leaving the Indians with just Miller.

Miller will be a significant addition for the Indians bullpen not only now but in the future, as he would have been to any team he landed with. The addition of Brandon Guyer simply serves as good insurance depth should Michael Brantley not return to full form once he is back in the lineup. The haul for the Indians was big, but when acquiring a pitcher such as Miller with such a team friendly contract, the cost is always going to be steep.

The Rangers have now bolstered down all areas of their already immensely strong club, and will look to make their strongest push to the postseason in quite some time.

In other trade deadline news, Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig was not moved at the deadline and was told he would be demoted if he was not traded. Early reports sais that Puig had

stormed out of the clubhouse after a discussion with Dodgers brass, but it was later clarified that he hadn’t even show up to the stadium on the day. Puig did not travel with the team on their road trip Monday.

The Indians may have added Andrew Miller, but the Rangers still came away with one of the top three prizes in the deadline in Lucroy, while also solidifying themselves offensively and in the bullpen.

The Rangers, looking to secure their large division lead on the Astros, have now added a two-time All-Star catcher to their roster with good offensive value in Lucroy, a solid relief pitcher with a 2.22 ERA in Jeffress, and a veteran slugger in Carlos Beltran, who is currently batting .304/.344/.546 and having one of the best

Movers and shakers on busy MLB Deadline Day

he MLB trade deadline is always an exciting period during the halfway point of the Major League season, a time in which emotions around the league are running high as the battle towards October wages on.

This week, the 2016 iteration of the annual deadline proved no different, bringing in a flurry of last minute, big name trades just moments before the 4 p.m. Eastern Time cut-off occurred on Monday.

Though the Cubs made their biggest move to kick off the week with Aroldis Chapman, and the White Sox mostly stood pat for the second year straight, plenty of other action ensued around the majors – and some of the deals made were likely strong game changers for many clubs.

Let’s take a look at a few of the teams who came away with the biggest and most significant hauls.

The Blue Jays race to contend in the AL East just got a bit more interesting as they stocked up on starting pitching depth to help bolster their rotation for the second half. Feldman, who came from the Houston Astros, has pitched to a 3.05 ERA this season in 62 innings of work. Liriano, who came from the Pirates, is currently an 11-year veteran of the game who is seeing the highest walk per nine rate of his career at 5.46 while also posting a HR/FB rate of 19.6 percent, another career high by nearly 7 percentage points (min. 100 IP).

Mike Bolsinger is an interesting add, as he was a starter in the Dodgers rotation in 2015 before falling on a some hard luck in 2016, earning him a demotion to the minor

leagues. Bolsinger has pitched 27 innings with the Dodgers and has a 6.83 ERA. The Blue Jays also acquired Melvin Upton Jr. from San Diego for Hansel Rodriguez and sent pitcher Drew Storen to Seattle in exchange for Joaquin Benoit, another long time veteran of the game.

San Francisco Giants Added: RHP Matt Moore, LHP Will Smith, INF Eduardo Nunez Traded: 3B Matt Duffy, C Andrew Susac, prospects Lucius Fox, Michael Santos

The Giants made an unexpected move in acquiring starting pitcher Matt Moore from the Tampa Bay Rays during the final moments before the deadline. Moore, See TRADES on Page 47
