Index

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s lead over Republican rival Donald Trump increased to more than 7 percentage points in a Reuters/ Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, from less than 3 points on Thursday. The shift came as Trump struggled to reset his campaign following a stretch of controversies. About 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton and about 35 percent preferred Trump, according to the Aug. 4-8 online poll of 1,152 likely voters, which had a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The others would either pick another candidate, would not vote, or “don’t know/refused.” The results reflected a decline in support for Trump, rather than a boost for Clinton: In last Thursday’s poll, 42 percent of likely voters favored Clinton and about 39 percent favored Trump. Among registered voters over the same period, Clinton held a lead of nearly 13 percentage points, up from about 5 percentage points on Thursday, according to the poll.

A federal judge on Tuesday upheld the 14-year prison sentence for former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich despite his emotional plea for leniency after an appeals court had set aside part of his public corruption conviction. U.S. District Court Judge James Zagel ruled Blagojevich, 59, must remain in a Colorado prison, siding with demands by prosecutors that he serve out his original, full sentence through 2024. “I am sympathetic to ... how painful this situation is to them,” Zagel said, referring to Blagojevich’s family. “But as I said four years ago, the fault lies with the governor.” Blagojevich, who took office in 2003, was impeached in 2009 and later indicted and convicted on charges that he attempted to sell the vacant U.S. Senate seat of President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder in late 2008. In 2015, the appeals court tossed five of 18 counts and ordered the resentencing. The appeals court ruled that Blagojevich’s effort to have all counts thrown out was “frivolous” because the evidence against him was “overwhelming.”

Florida says 4 new locally transmitted Zika cases

Florida has four new cases of people likely infected with Zika through mosquito bites in Miami, Governor Rick Scott said on Tuesday, as he urged Congress to reconvene and approve additional money to combat the virus. The additional cases are all in a onesquare mile area in Miami-Dade County that includes Miami’s Wynwood district, Scott said, bringing the total of locally transmitted cases in the state to 21. “Every day that passes that Congress and the president fail to come to an agreement hinders our national response to Zika,” Scott said in a statement. “The federal government must stop playing politics and Congress needs to immediately come back to session to resolve this.”.

Pec Cleanup a success; Rock River Sweep up next The 13th Annual Pecatonica River Clean up, Sunday, July 31 was once again a success for United Sportsmen’s Youth Foundation. A 40-yard dumpster was filled with an unbelievable variety of items dumped in the Pec. The trash pulled out of the river and pictured in TRRT Editor & Publisher Frank Schier’s canoe ranged from a garbage can full of meat and fish, to cigarette lighters, tennis balls and many Swisher Sweet Cigar packages. Schier said, “I was surprised at the amount of styrofoam in the river – everything from broken up coolers, to cups and to-go containers.The styrofoam seems to break up into smaller pieces and is difficult to get out of the current. “And the huge amount of plastic bottles in the water is really sad. Brenden Walsh, the hard-working organizer of the annual cleanup, said many of the bottles come from the back beds of pickups, which get

blown out by the wind and fall into the roadside ditches. The bottles are then washed into the river by the next good rain. Keep those truck beds clean!” Schier urges readers to participate in the annual Rock River Sweep on Sept. 10, starting at the Prairie Street Brewhouse at 9:30 a.m. “We are increasing our prize offerings from a total of $3,000 last year to $5,000 this year,” he said. “Help clean our Rock River and receive some cool

prizes if you have the biggest group, the largest amount of garbage, the weirdest garbage item, the dirtiest cleaner upper, the biggest garbage item, and a few other categories we haven’t invented yet. We have fun!” If you or your business would like to contribute products or gift certificates to this year’s prize pool, call Schier at 815-964-9767 or email frank.schier@rockrivertimes.com. –Staff; Photos, Frank Schier

Budget Woes

County should look at free software solutions to save costs

By Paul Gorski Contributor

arlier this year, The Rock River Times reported (“Editorial: County board’s broken record,” May 17) that Winnebago County was being fined $283,000 because county IT staff installed a more expensive version of Microsoft Office suite that it had purchased – a simple error with a high price tag. The error could have been prevented by ditching Microsoft Office in favor of the free, open source LibreOffice package. LibreOffice is a free collection of business productivity programs, nearly a clone of Microsoft Office, but not as robust. According to LibreOffice developers:

6 WEEK PROGRAM

“LibreOffice is a powerful office suite – its clean interface and feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your productivity. LibreOffice includes several applications that make it the most powerful Free and Open Source office suite on the market: Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (vector graphics and flowcharts), Base (databases), and Math (formula editing).” To be honest, LibreOffice cannot do everything Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint can do, but it can handle most of their functions. For most users, LibreOffice will meet their business needs, including Munich, Germany’s government, who has been using

LibreOffice for more than 10 years now. They are not alone. The U.K. government announced last year that it is giving up Microsoft Office in favor of LibreOffice. Italy’s Ministry of Defence is moving 100,000 users to LibreOffice, and 500,000 users in French government offices are using the free, open source software. Don’t tell me it can’t be done here; these governments are using LibreOffice now. We would not have to use LibreOffice exclusively. We could install Office, or specific components of it, on user computers as needed. For example, Microsoft Access is far superior to the LibreOffice Base database program. Installing Office on a limited number

of computers would still help reduce licensing costs and save taxpayer money. Having worked in mixed Windows and Macintosh work environments for years, I can tell you this type of change does not come easily. People are set in their ways: IT staff, many unaware of how good some open source software is, look the other way without even trying the software. We need to be more open about our solutions. If the county is going to overcome its longterm financial problems, we need to look at creative solutions across all departments. We should look at replacing Microsoft Office with LibreOffice on county laptops and workstations in an effort to reign in IT costs.

ShouldChicagobehappythatitwasn’tawarded the 2016 Olympic Games? In 2009, Chicago was eliminated from the competitiontohosttheOlympicGamescurrently taking place in Rio de Janeiro. Local politicians like then-Mayor Richard Daley said the games would have been a boon to the city’s struggling south side. But others opposed it, saying the city couldn’t afford the massive event. The 2012 games in London gave the nay-sayers some vindication when the costs of the games nearly doubled, crippling the city’s post-recession finances. City Journal Magazine editor Steven Malanga said the cost coupled with the rising crime rate would have made hosting the Olympic games in Chicago very burdensome for the city. “Chicago has struggled,” he said. “It hasn’t been able to rebound from the recession. It’s got all this long-term debt that it’s taken on. It would’ve had to put on the Olympics in those circumstances.” Even though Chicago lost the bid, Malanga said the Games are still costing taxpayers in the form of decade-long union contracts to avoid a strike during the games. “Part of Chicago’s fiscal struggles right now are because they’ve been bearing the cost of those expensive contracts with 34 labor unions,” he said. Chicago also paid $2 million per acre for a lot that was to become the Olympic Village. The city still owns the land and cannot sell the vacant lot, which the Chicago Tribune said will cost it $140 million in principal and interest if it cannot pay off the loan it took out to make the purchase. The 2016 Olympic Games is estimated to be costing Rio de Janeiro $20 billion. Brazil is subsidizing a large portion of that cost.

number of nonviolent offenders in prison; 82 percent of respondents want drug users to be offered treatment instead of being sent to prison. Greg Newburn, state policy director for Families Against Mandatory Minimums, said he doesn’t doubt the findings because the results are all too familiar. “The results of this poll, which echo the results of many other polls around the country, show that voters, whether you’re conservative, liberal, Republican,Democrat,Independent…acrossthe ideological spectrum, people are coming to the

same conclusion: that we can just do better than the status quo,” he said. Newburn said more and more people are waking up to the fact that criminal-justice reforms are needed to not only improve the system in Illinois andelsewhere,buttosavetaxmoneybeingwasted on a flawed system. Newburn said one of the quickest ways to reduce taxpayer costs and improve the system is to address laws dealing with low-level drug offenders, which he said were draconian. –Illinois News Network

Voters unhappy with justice system: Poll

The results of a recently released Illinois Policy Institute poll shows that a majority of Illinoisans believe the state’s criminal justice system is unfair and needs to be overhauled. The poll, conducted with 500 registered voters from all sides of the political spectrum, showed that 58 percent of them believe the state’s criminal justice system “has been ineffective at keeping communities safe,” and 56 percent believe the system isn’t fair. “This report shows majorities of liberals, moderates and conservatives have voiced support for major reforms,” said one of the survey’s authors. Some of the suggested state reforms in the Institute’s report include reducing prison population, ending money bail and removing employment barriers for former offenders. Other statistics in the statewide poll: 87 percent of Democrats, 81 percent of Republicans and 83 percent of Independents believe a candidate can still be tough on crime while supporting reforms; 53 percent said they are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports reforms lowering the

parades. Just as silently as extinction, it came and went. Most people didn’t notice; many didn’t care. Noting and celebrating the day itself is not important. What is important is understanding what it means and working to counter it. This year, Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 8. That means that between January 1 and August 8, humanity has already used all of the resources that the earth provides during an entire year. For over four months we will be again dipping into future resources, causing a mounting ecological debt. Throughout history and into the 1960s, humans used about three-quarters of the earth’s capacity to both produce and absorb, leaving enough to serve future years. During the 1970s, resources were used at a rate that exceeded the Earth’s productive capacity and waste products were produced at a rate that exceeded Earth’s capacity to process. We will place Earth Overshoot within the context of the IREA Fair in next week’s column. Visit illinoisrenew.org.

Election 2016

Trump: ‘2nd Amendment people’ can stop Clinton

By Steve Holland Reuters

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that gun rights activists could act to stop his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from nominating liberal U.S. Supreme Court justices, igniting a new firestorm of criticism just as he sought to steer clear of controversy. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” Trump said at a rally. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know,” he continued. Until Trump made the remark, the businessman seeking his first public office had been trying to rally Republican voters behind him and against Clinton, who is leading in opinion polls in the race for the Nov. 8 presidential election. Clinton’s campaign called the comments “dangerous.” “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way,” it said. When asked to clarify what Trump meant, his campaign said Trump was referring to getting supporters of the Second Amendment to rally votes for Trump in the election. “It’s called the power of unification – 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” the statement said. Asked for comment, the U.S. Secret Service, which provides security details for both Trump and Clinton, said: “The Secret Service is aware of the comment.” When by day’s end Trump arrived in Fayetteville, North Carolina, for another rally, he was

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks to an audience in Wilmington, N.C. Tuesday. Trump, during his remarks, told the crowd, “If (Hillary Clinton) gets to pick her judges — there’s nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.” Twitter, @realDonaldTrump

drawing criticism on several fronts. Michael Hayden, a former CIA director who on Monday was among 50 Republican national security experts to denounce Trump in a letter, said on CNN, “You’re not just responsible for what you say. You are responsible for what people hear.” Tuesday’s speech came on the heels of a discordant week on the campaign trail for Trump. He came under fire from within his party for belatedly endorsing fellow Republicans in reelection races and a prolonged clash with the parents of fallen Muslim American Army captain

Humayun Khan. On Monday, Trump had seemed to be heeding Republican advice to stick to a message of criticizing Clinton and other Democrats while putting forward economic policy proposals in a speech in Detroit.

Trump’s vice presidential running mate Mike Pence, asked if he believed Trump was inciting violence toward Clinton, told NBC’s Philadelphia affiliate: “Of course not. No.” But Democrats called Trump’s remarks another sign of a candidate unfit for the White House. “Don’t treat this as a political misstep. It’s an assassination threat, seriously upping the possibility of a national tragedy & crisis,” U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, said in a tweet. Immediately after Trump made his comment, many on social media accused him of effectively calling for Clinton’s assassination. In just three hours, 2nd amendment became the top trending topic on Twitter, with more than 60,000 posts mentioning the term. Overall sentiment on the posts was more negative than positive, at a ratio of 2.5 to 1, according to the social media analytics firm Zoomph. #ProtectHillary was also one of the top trending hashtags on Twitter. The 50 prominent national security officials said in their letter on Monday that Trump would be “the most reckless president in American history.” “He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary,” their statement said.

Steve Miller still rockin’ at 72 S By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

teve Miller Band has been winding its way across the U.S. and Canada this summer on another of their sprawling tours – this one the aptly titled “Underway” – and they make their return to Rockford at the BMO Center, Thursday, Sept. 15. Along their 2016 trek, they’ve been entertaining fans with a show that has remained mostly unchanged for more than two decades. We’ll breeze through the history here: Steve Miller, born 1943 in Milwaukee. Jazz-mad parents. Les Paul a family friend. Moved to Texas. Started forming bands. Met Boz Scaggs. Back to Wisconsin for college. Left school with just a handful of hours left to make music. Found the Chicago blues scene. A stay in New York. Back to school. Still didn’t like it. Went to San Francisco. Fell in love with music all over again after seeing Jefferson Airplane. To think that Steve Miller Band has been on stage for 50 years now is an actual shock to many a classic rock fan. When you think longevity, you instantly think of the Stones – or whatever version of The Who is out there nowadays – but not Steve Miller. The concept for many is that of a mid-70s rock-to-pop crossover act that still pours out the speakers of FM radio. And while it’s true that the last big hit came with 1982’s “Abracadabra,” that hasn’t stopped the man from leading his band cross-country to full houses for nearly 35 years since. I recently had the pleasure of seeing Steve Miller Band at Ravinia Festival. The place was packed from gate to gate following a day of gorgeous weather. Chicago-scene stalwart and harmonica aficionado Charlie Musselwhite opened and later joined Miller on stage for a set of blues standards before the pair announced they’d decided to begin work on a project featuring a slew of names familiar to the city’s iconic blues landscape. Just a pair of songs into the show the crowd had its first interaction with the man behind the sunglasses. But let’s sidebar here for a moment, if we can (we’ll come back, don’t worry). Miller, for right or wrong, has achieved a bit of a reputation for being hard to work with. Musicians have been put off by his demeanor over the years, though it could be said that anyone working in any industry for five decades is going to rub a few the wrong way. Just this past year, after his band The Black Keys inducted Miller into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dan Auerbach decided to air his frustrations: “The whole process was unpleasant for Pat (Carney) and me,” he said. “The most unpleasant part was being around him.” Miller reportedly had no idea who the pair were. For his sake, Miller has very little flattering to say about the Hall of Fame itself. At one point during the Ravinia show, he lambasted

“

I looked out (in the audience) and I didn’t really see any friendly faces – I basically saw people I had been suing and auditing for years.”

-Steve Miller, on the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony

the organization, saying it was filled with egos and void of a purpose. “It should be teaching people about music,” he said, not asking them to pay to see guitars and glitter-adorned costumes in display cases. In interviews following the April 9 induction ceremony in New York, Miller didn’t hold back on the heads of the Cleveland-based museum: “The whole process feels like you’re dealing with a company that wants you to give them everything,” he told Billboard, “and they’re going to go make all this money and they’re going to do everything with it, and you have no input into it, no say about any of it, take it or leave it. Probably what the general public thinks and what it really is are two different things.” This is a guy who is 72-years-old, mind. There are very few cares he has left to give, and hearing that The Black Keys found him a bit sour at an event he didn’t particularly crave to be at is not shocking, especially given Miller had no input on the matter in the first place. “I wanted to ask Elton John to induct me,” he said, “because Elton knows my music and loves my music and we’re friends, and I thought he would probably have a good historical perspective. “But they said, ‘No, the Black Keys are going to do it,’ and I said, ‘well, OK, and they said ‘There’s no negotiation on any of it, that’s the way we do it, that’s the way we’ve always done it, that’s the way it’s gonna be. It’s all gonna be a surprise; you’re not gonna know what they’re gonna say, you’re not going to know anything about that.’” It’s not as though he didn’t have friends in attendance that night. Cheap Trick’s Rick

Nielsen presented Miller with a guitar to add to his 450-plus-strong collection – a sparkling metal-flake blue (including the fretboard) Strato-variety – at the induction ceremony, an honor long overdue for both. Miller showed it off to a round of applause from the Chicago crowd on the night at Ravinia. But here’s the thing about Miller’s supposed sometimes caustic attitude: fans don’t care if Steve Miller doesn’t care that much about modern rock music or stoic institutions. Fans care about seeing Steve Miller Band play the 20 songs they paid to hear. And that’s exactly what this man still does – and damn it, he does it well. From start to finish, not a note out of place, not a beat dropped, not a problem to be had. You paid for entertainment with an expectation of exactly what said entertainment would be and you were entertained. So let’s go back now to that first crowd interaction. After opening with “Jungle Love,” a track which can’t help but draw an audience directly into the show, the group segued to “Take the Money and Run.” Four young men in the front row – whose introduction to the band one would imagine came from a copy of Greatest Hits: 1974-78 they grabbed at Barnes & Noble one evening – took to dancing in the narrow aisle that separates the Ravinia stage from the venue’s classic wooden seats. Now, Ravinia is not exactly a get up and dance kind of place, at least not in the bowl. Miller, recognizing the fact that four tall men dancing may be a bit of a distraction for the persons in the rows immediately behind them, took a moment out of his “Thank you”s and “It’s so great to be here”s to have some fun.

“It’s awesome that people want to get up and move around and enjoy the show,” he said, “but let’s all get comfortable and sit down and relax.” Some more gentle prodding failed to do the trick, so Miller went the more direct route. “I’m talking about you, you, you, and you. Sit down, please. The people behind you don’t want to see your backs.” Laughter erupted, and the boys might have thought they were part of a bit for just a second. “But really,” Miller said, assuring them they were not, “sit down. We’ll have time to dance later.” Compliance ensued, and the dancing did come later, as promised. Critics would say it was a sign of the abrasive nature of Miller, a man now out of touch with a scene he helped shape. This viewer would posit that it’s just the opposite case. Again, this is a guy who at 72 – and 50 years into a legendary career – knows the wants of his audience, and the evidence was there to behold: Thousands upon thousands of people filled the Ravinia grounds that night to hear him play much the same setlist he’s been working with since the mid-90s. To say Steve Miller doesn’t know his crowd would be disingenuous at best. This man owns his craft, and he certainly knows how to entertain the hoards there to see him. To point, an easter egg was uncovered a few pairs of ears at a time as Miller came out of an instrument change strumming his 6-string in a solemn minor key. Familiar lyrics slowly poured into the microphone, but many in the crowd had a hard time placing the words in what resembled a poetry reading for only a moment. I won’t ruin the punchline, but Mark Knopfler would’ve been proud, not just of the delivery but of the turn of face by one of rock’s most exemplary pop slingers. “I’m just kidding,” Miller quipped to the listeners who’d picked up on the shtick. “We’ll play that one the right way later.” The show quickly returned to form: “The Joker,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Serenade,” “Dance, Dance, Dance,” running right down the checklist. In an era where bands of decades gone crave relevance in an ever-shifting landscape, Miller achieves it by sticking to the script. Few would line up to see his band slot in a half-dozen of their 20 top-100 singles around a set of new tunes. Such ventures are the downfall of many a ‘70s rock group who wish to impart on crowds – those in attendance to see their idols play the tracks that made the soundtrack of their life – cuts off a brand new album only few in attendance will ever bother to pick up. There are around 20 dates still listed on Steve Miller Band’s 2016 tour, with more still being added, including their stop here in Rockford next month. And even though I just saw the act a few weeks ago, I’ll be there. I’ll be there because Steve Miller gets it. It’s entertainment, and his band does it right – even if some of his peers don’t see it, the people in the seats still do.

Rockford Rocked catches up with Brad Elvis By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

rad Elvis has many times been said to be the Midwest’s answer to The Who’s Keith Moon – and for good reason. His drumming style is tight, solid, fun and sometimes unpredictable. His long musical career spans nearly four decades and literally thousands of gigs. Starting off with Infinity Records recording artist, Screams, Brad has since found himself playing drums for The Romantics. Last week Rockford Rocked Interviews caught up with Brad to pick his brain about music, touring and life in general. Read on. Rockford Rocked Interview: Tell us how you got your start playing drums and why not guitar or saxophone? Brad Elvis: Originally, I made a choice between bass or drums. I knew I wanted to play music and eventually at the age of 11 or 12 I made the choice of drums which, fortunately, seemed to come naturally for me. I never took lessons, I just played along to the 45s and albums that I owned and it all worked out. However, my multi-talented wife Chloe who is co-leader of our band, The Handcuffs, can play saxophone, guitar (and a few other instruments) so that fills that void! By the way, I’ve kept a book of every show I have ever played and I just played my 4,180th show last week. RRI: One of your first bands Screams scored a record deal with Infinity Records (Canada) and were getting a lot of attention in the states opening for Van Halen on their first tour. That must have been a cool experience for a young rocker like yourself. Thoughts? BE: Having the dream of getting a major label record deal and then actually achieving that, was fantastic and a confidence builder. The Infinity/MCA label imprint (based out of NYC, not Canada) itself was short-lived but in that brief time, we got to tour the U.S. and England, which was great experience for us youngsters in 1979. Screams was selected to tour with Van Halen from July through October that year. It was exciting for us to be playing in front of huge crowds and also to look side stage and see Van Halen band members watching us from the wings. Just last year, I was talking to Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, and we both had fond memories of that important tour for both bands. It was Screams’ first support tour and Van Halen’s first headlining tour (which also sold out every venue). That tour ended at the Los Angeles Forum and then Screams was off to the UK to headline our own tour. A whirlwind year for us. RRI: Former REO Speedwagon singer Ter-

ry Luttrell produced Screams’ debut album. Do you still keep in touch with him? BE: Between Terry and our manager, Jeff Ross, they shopped our demos together and found a major label that was interested in us. A new imprint, at the time, called Infinity, which was part of MCA (Universal). I’m friends on Facebook with Terry (who also was the lead vocalist for Epic Records band, Starcastle), Jeff and all of the Screams band members but we don’t really see each other much these days. There is a Screams Facebook site where we post and comment regularly. RRI: By the early ’80s you had already moved on to (Portrait Records) The Elvis Brothers. Which one of you decided it would be a good idea to change all of your last names to Elvis? BE: One night at an early gig I jokingly blurted out that my name was Brad Elvis. Graham’s (bassist) eyes lit up and he immediately introduced us individually as, Brad Elvis, Rob Elvis and Graham Elvis. It just stuck. RRI: You guys did a bunch of shows with The Clash and Billy Idol during this time. Any cool stories to tell that wouldn’t get us in trouble? BE: Starting with Screams and into The Elvis Brothers, we were fortunate to play on bills with so many great bands. What great experience it was to play shows with The Ramones, The Clash, Billy Idol, The Pretenders, Cheap Trick, Devo, INXS, Big Country, Culture Club, etc. So many stories to tell in

my lengthy career. How much time do you have? RRI: Your side project The Handcuffs has been through Rockford a few times. Any plans to return anytime soon? BE: I don’t look at The Handcuffs as my side project. I actually had The Handcuffs prior to joining The Romantics, and we had already recorded an album. A quick history: After The Elvis Brothers I started Big Hello and that is where Chloe F. Orwell and I met. We released three albums and played Rockford many times. Then, Chloe and I started The Handcuffs, released three albums and are now working on the fourth one. We always had a blast playing at Kryptonite in Rockford. They were always so nice and supportive us but now that it’s gone we’ll have to play somewhere else. Maybe Mary’s Place? RRI: For the past 12 years you have been the drummer for The Romantics. It’s got to be a gas getting to play songs like Talking in Your Sleep, What I like About You and Rock You Up! Thoughts? BE: I have a great time playing drums and touring with The Romantics. I still get to be Brad Elvis and do my thing which is very nice, and the band is very supportive of that. I get to experience their fans’ excitement of meeting and seeing the original members of the band. It’s also nice to see and meet some of my own fans at the shows, as well, who often bring my own past and current albums to sign. I love that! RRI: I’m going to say a word or phrase and you answer with the first thing that pops into

your head. RRI: Skinny ties. BE: 1979. RRI: What’s currently in your music playlist? BE: I’m all over the place being a casual record collector. I might listen to Queens of the Stone Age and St. Vincent one day, Mott the Hoople and Spooky Tooth the next, and just today I bought a Dave Brubeck Quartet and a Webb Pierce album. RRI: Clem Burke (Blondie drummer). BE: One of my best friends (who also recommended me for The Romantics). Thanks, Clem! RRI: Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats drummer). BE: He’s a stand up guy! RRI: What do you sing in the shower? BE: Usually bits of my own songs that I am currently writing/working on. RRI: The Kings (Canadian Band – This Beat Goes On). BE: Ha! True story: In the part of that song Switching to Glide, I always thought they were singing, “Switching to guys.” (Not that there’s anything wrong with that). RRI: What’s next for Brad Elvis? BE: Continuing a busy and hot summer touring with The Romantics all over the U.S. and a festival in Belgium coming up in mid-August. Also, Chloe and I are working on new songs for The Handcuffs, a studio-only, secret side project and looking into booking shows for the fall and beyond. Maybe a Handcuffs show in Rockford…?

Suicide Squad fun if convoluted By Thomas Simpson Contributor

fter the disappointment that was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Brothers’ next hope in its DC Universe was Suicide Squad. Despite the initial buzz that surrounded the trailers, news of reshoots hurt its pre-release momentum with the film taking a mauling off critics ahead of its release. Just as with Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad has seen fans leap to its defence and has impressive box office returns in its opening weekend. Unlike Batman v Superman, the end result is far more entertaining. After the death of Superman, high ranking government official Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) assembles a team of dangerous criminals to be used in highly perilous missions. The idea being that these assets are disposable and absolve the government of any liability should anything go wrong. Lead by Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), the officially named Task Force X is made up of some delightful delinquents including psychotic murderer Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and notorious hitman Deadshot (Will Smith). Blackmailed with their lives, the Suicide Squad are sent on a dangerous and secretive mission to fight an unknown enemy that will likely get them killed. Director David Ayer (End of Watch,

Fury) opens up proceedings with a frenetic and adrenaline soaked introduction viewed through a toxic neon gaze. While superhero films are usually criticized for rehashing the same origin story over and over, most of these characters are making their big screen debut and are generally unknown to the wider

public. As we’re familiarized with each villain, it does seem a little rushed – however, it also sets things up nicely without dwelling on backstory for too long. The marketing for the film revolved around Robbie as Quinn. Robbie is brilliant as she flirts between seductress and playful

lunatic while never betraying the dangerous undertones of the character. Ayer does well to not oversaturate the audience with Quinn and looks to balance out his cast, although with so many colourful characters vying for attention, the film occasionally suffers from having too many protagonists. The chemistry between the team is on point for the most part, especially between Robbie and Smith as their two characters’ bond early on. The biggest surprise comes from Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang as the Australian actor shows some rugged charm and delivers some laughs. After playing it straight in bland action roles it’s refreshing to see him having some fun in part that suits him. Suicide Squad promises something different for the comic book movie genre and although it delivers, the third act traps it with a formulaic and predictable structure that will have eyes rolling. There is a dangerous movie within Suicide Squad that is desperate to be unleashed, but whenever it bears its teeth the leash is pulled back and the muzzle is put on. It’s a step forward for the DCU but unfortunately it’s not the giant leap they may have intended to take. Still, it’s fun and often gloriously ridiculous even if a little convoluted.

Tube Talk: Olympic fever takes over NBC’s airwaves By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

am not a sports fan. Never have been, never will be. I remain immune to Olympic Fever. And unlike actual sports enthusiasts, the things I enjoy most about Olympics coverage are the pretaped segments about the host city, its culture, and the athletes. How else would I ever know Simone Biles is just 4-foot-8, or that one of Kerri Walsh Jennings’ kids is named Sundance? Sharing athletes’ stories and challenges with the audience is a great way to engage non-sports fans like me in The Games. Hearing what they’ve endured to make it to Rio raises the emotional stakes in the outcome of their particular competitions. There’s another reason I may be tuning into these Summer Games a little more often than I usually would. Brazil.

When I was in grade school, we had a teenage foreign exchange student from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. He lived with us for six months, and years after he went home, he returned with his wife and parents for a visit. We’ve stayed in touch – albeit sporadically at times – ever since. In sixth grade we had to do reports and presentations on foreign countries, so, of course, I chose Brazil (Belgium was a close second, since my aunt, uncle, and cousins lived there at the time). It’s a fascinating country. It’s quite large, too. Sure the Olympics are in Rio, not Salvador, and Rio is some 750 miles (by air) south-southwest of Salvador, but Luiz told me some soccer games are taking place in Salvador. Luiz and his wife were visiting family in Sao Paulo when he emailed saying they were watching the Brazilian soccer team playing Iraq at a stadium in Brasilia – which is over

900 miles north-northwest of Rio. For the record, Rockford is closer to New Orleans than Brasilia is to Rio. That means we’ll be seeing a lot of Brazil throughout the Olympics, not just Rio and its iconic coastline. There’s one more thing keeping me interested in the Olympics this time: the hysterical – and earnest – live tweets by SNL and Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones (@lesdoggg on Twitter). Not only have her comments garnered plenty of likes, retweets, and new followers, NBC executives took notice and reportedly have invited Jones to Rio to try her hand as a commentator. Now that’s Olympic coverage I can’t wait to see.

Programming Note

The 2016 Summer Olympics run through August 21. Olympics coverage is being

televised on NBC and its cable networks, but even more events can be streamed online at nbcolympics.com/live-stream-schedule. Follow Paula on Twitter: @P_Hendrickson.

ly partnering with a genetic testing center to offer an open genetic screening day to individuals of reproductive ages from 4- 6 p.m. The Center will offer comprehensive genetic screening for the most prevalent and serious disorders, including those most common to your ethnic background. “Many serious and even fatal diseases can be passed from parents to children through genetic mutations, from cystic fibrosis to sickle cell disease to neural diseases that cause the death of toddlers before the age of two,” said Dr. Todd Deutch, a reproductive endocrinologist, at the Advanced Reproductive Center. “Unfortunately these disorders are more common than you might think. For example, one in 23 individuals carries a genetic mutation for cystic fibrosis. Fortunately, genetic testing makes it possible for us to anticipate and avoid passing on such genetic mutations and is recommended for anyone considering conception.” Dr. Deutch will discuss the importance of screening before pregnancy and provide mini-fertility consults during the screening day. The genetic and fertility screening is open from 4-6 p.m. at the Advanced Reproductive Center, 435 N. Mulford Rd., Suite 9. To schedule an appointment, please call 815-229-1700. Walk ins are welcome, but appointments are strongly encouraged.

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY After 11 years as the President and CEO of the Rockford Area Arts Council (RAAC), Anne O’Keefe has accepted a position as Development Officer for the Rockford Public Library. “We are happy for Anne and wish her the very best, but are bittersweet about her departure from the Arts Council,” said Doug Mark, RAAC Board Chair. “She has made an impact in our community and at the state and national level,” he continued. During O’Keefe’s tenure she has successfully advocated for artists and the arts communities in northern Illinois. Under her leadership Art Scene has increased its venues and participation by more than 50 percent in the spring and 10 percent in the fall. Her friendly, outgoing style has garnered the Arts Council many supporters, advocates and friends who have become loyal patrons of the arts. Her leadership in the arts community is exemplified by her appointment to the Arts Alliance Illinois Board of Directors and her invitation to attend the 2014 Americans For The Arts Executive Leadership Forum. O’Keefe was one of only 20 chosen arts advocates from the United States and Canada to attend. In 2012 O’Keefe was instrumental in establishing the Kennedy Center Partners in Education with the Rockford Public School System, a partnership that will benefit all students of District 205 for years to come. In order to share the positive economic impact arts can create for a community, O’Keefe was the lead for gathering our region’s Arts and Economic Prosperity Statistics – the results of which became part of a national, comprehensive report that reported, for the first time, accurate data that gave credence the economic drive and boost the arts bring to communities. “The Board of Directors will work with Anne over the next two to three weeks to make sure we have a comprehensive plan during Anne’s transition to the Rockford Public Library,” Mark said. “We have a strong and capable staff in Ann-Margret Naber and Sharon Nesbit-Davis to carry on with our programming and outreach. We will certainly miss, however, Anne’s collaborative spirit and relationship building within the arts community.” –Rockford Area Arts Council

CASA recieves national certification

Ludeke’s realist paintings feature at Kortman

After her mother passed away, Rockford artist Jeanne Ludeke, while sorting through her belongings, became interested in the cardboard boxes her mother had used to store and preserve things that were important to her. Moved by the imagery of the boxes and the memories they contain, Ludeke saw them as an intriguing subject matter for her exhibition of realist paintings. This Friday, Ludeke will present these remarkable paintings in a Kortman Gallery exhibit titled “Flashlights & Other Stories.” “Jeanne’s exquisite paintings at first glance look like beautifully colored abstracts,” says Kortman Gallery director Doc Slafkosky. “But with a closer look you discover they are paintings of the actual aged cardboard boxes that held her mom’s treasured keepsakes. Most unusual, but unforgettable imagery that you just have to see!” “The history of what each box had once held was recorded with my mom’s script on the lids and sides of the boxes,” Ludeke said. “What she had saved and valued and how it was kept, spoke of her connection to our family and her relationship with the material world. For me, the boxes became a metaphor for the transience of home, family and the impermanence of things.” Ludeke began her studies in drawing, paint-

ing and art history at NIU and the University of Salzburg, Austria, and completed a Masters in drawing at NIU in 1983. She has worked as a commissioned portrait artist and also taught art for many years. Only recently she has returned to her personal work as an artist. The Kortman Gallery exhibit “Flashlights & Other Stories,” paintings by Jeanne Ludeke opens Friday, 5:30 to 9 p.m. and will be on display through September 30. Kortman Gallery is located upstairs at J. R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 N. Main St. in Downtown Rockford. The opening reception is free and open to the public. For more information call 815-968-0123 or visit jrkortman.com. –JR Kortman

The Winnebago County CASA Program has just been awarded certification by the National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association. This certification recognizes that Winnebago County CASA is in compliance with National CASA’s high standards for quality child advocacy. According to Tara Perry, Chief Executive Officer of the National CASA Association, “The National CASA quality assurance process is very rigorous, and reflects our commitment to ensure every child served has a powerful volunteer advocate working on their behalf and a strong program supporting their work. This certification says Winnebago County CASA has demonstrated to us the capacity to provide excellent advocacy to the abused and neglected children within their community.” The Winnebago County CASA Program was started in 1987. Winnebago County CASA is a nonprofit, volunteer-based organization that advocates for abused and neglected children within the Juvenile Court system. Its trained volunteers are appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of children in the Abuse and Neglect court. Its mission is to assist the court in seeking the best interests of abused & neglected children through court-appointed volunteer advocacy. Currently, about one-third of the children in Abuse and Neglect Court have a CASA volunteer. Many more advocates are needed. Training sessions are held throughout the year. The next session starts October 11. For more information call the CASA office at 815319-6880 or visit winnebagocountycasa.org. –Winnebago County CASA Let us know what your organization is up to.

21st Annual Honor the Mounds, Saturday

By Susan Johnson Contributor

eattie Park on the 400 block of North Main Street will again be the setting for the 21st Annual Honor the Mounds Gathering this Saturday, Aug. 13. Many tribes from all over the U.S. will be celebrating their heritage with songs, dances, demonstrations of Native culture and crafts. The history of the mounds will be explained. Your host is the Native American Awareness Committee. Beattie Park and its surroundings were the home of the Beattie family from 1845 to 1921. By agreement, the land was kept available for Native Americans to use for their culture and ceremonies. This arrangement continued until the mid-1950s. The Beattie family specified that the mounds area should be preserved in a natural state. After the death of one of the sisters in 1921, the land was donated to the Rockford Park District with the stipulation that the mounds and trees be preserved. The downtown park is still a place where people can relax, contemplate nature, and watch the river. Local citizen David Van Pernis was instrumental in helping to preserve the property. Now the Rockford Park District and the Native American Awareness Committee work in partnership to maintain the park with the help of many valuable volunteers. The Burpee Museum, of Natural History also has information about the mounds and Native culture, including displays of artifacts and interactive events. The museum hosts a living history event where visitors can interact with volunteers.

Rockford’s oldest historical site

The various styles of mounds in Beattie Park date from the Late Woodland Period, known as the Effigy Mound Period. This was a span of time from approximately 300 to 1100 A.D. And

influenced the Upper Mississippi River Valley in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. During this time, various Native cultures contributed to the building of effigy mounds. Those in Beattie Park date back from the early part of 700 to 1100 A.D., when most of the effigy mounds were built. The effigy mound building tradition dates back to as early as 300 A.D. and spans the entire period until the mid-17th century, when the first European settlements were begun in North America. The grouping in Beattie consists of three conical mounds: a linear mound, an earthen embankment and one effigy mound of a turtle. Through the years, some of the mounds in the immediate area were damaged or destroyed, including one when the Riverfront Museum Park constructed its parking lot on North Main Street, and the high rise was built beside Beattie Park. The bird effigy was damaged and is in the yard of a private residence on Indian Terrace. Most mound groupings were located along waterways like the ones in Beattie Park. They

are found north of the conifer hardwood forests and stretch from the Upper Mississippi Valley to Lake Michigan. They are mostly found north of the southern edge of the prairie, and most times along the waterways of northern Illinois, large parts of Wisconsin, and the northern Mississippi Valley.

Schedule of events

Before the Gathering begins, Terry “Standing Buffalo” Reynolds (Lakota elder) will offer a pipe prayer. He may be accompanied by female Lakota elder Rita Reynolds. The sacred fire will be started by firekeeper Thunder Ruthven of the Anishinaabe (meaning “first people”). He will be assisted by Doug Schandelmeier, whose spirit name is “Dances with Fire.” The opening ceremony at 10 a.m. will be officiated by arena director Terry “Standing Buffalo” Reynolds.

Along with the demonstrations, displays and storytelling, visitors are invited to check out vendors such as the Dream Catcher booth and Turtle on the Rock food booth. People are invited to sample Native American food such as fry bread and Indian tacos, as well as grilled corn, burgers and hot dogs. Drawings will be held for Native American arts, crafts, and other items throughout the day. Come out to this free family-friendly event in historic Beattie Park. See you there!

Commentary

More than scenery, parks preserve culture

By Antionette Jackson The Conversation

n August 25, the National Park Service (NPS) will celebrate its 100th birthday. But what’s a party without people? In fact, while many Americans think of national parks as places to experience nature, they also preserve unique resources that tell stories about the everyday lives of people and their American journeys. Along with protecting natural wonders, such as Yellowstone National Park’s geysers, the National Park Service is charged with preserving cultural resources that are relevant to living communities. Many of the more than 400 sites in the national park system are repositories of history and heritages of people and communities – some well-known, others underrepresented – that shape the national dialog. Particularly in recent decades, NPS has worked to showcase a diverse range of human stories that help us understand our nation’s past and present. Today NPS’ role in cultural heritage preservation – collecting and interpreting stories about people and the many ways they inhabit places – is more important than ever. These stories help us to see our similarities and better understand our differences as a society. And this work helps NPS tell a national story of relevance and significance to all. Our national park system includes many of our nation’s most important and, in some cases, most contested cultural sites and resources. Examples include Historic Jamestowne, where English colonization of North America began; the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, which commemorates the forcible removal of the Cherokee people from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee; the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument, which honors Tubman’s heroic work leading enslaved people to freedom; and the Manzanar National Historic Site, one of 10 camps where Japanese-American citizens were interned during World War II. Most recently, on June 24, President Obama designated the area around the Stonewall Inn in New York City, where protests sparked the movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-

gender rights in 1969, as a national monument. Each of these sites links our nation’s past and present in challenging and enriching ways. As a cultural anthropologist, I work with the National Park Service to involve underrepresented communities in interpretations of place and to ensure that our park system embraces and reflects diverse experiences. This work is not just about written history and preserving the past. The National Park Service’s Ethnography Program, created in 1981, focuses on “living people linked to the parks by religion, legend, deep historical attachment, subsistence use, or other aspects of their culture.” Through consultation and research, the program works to ensure that voices and practices of these communities are heard and taken into account in decision making and administration of National Park Service sites. For example, in 2010 I conducted research in rural southeast Georgia with students from the University of South Florida (USF) focusing on the community of Archery. Our study documented Archery’s roles as the boyhood home of former President Jimmy Carter and home of Bishop William Decker Johnson (18671936), who was a prominent preacher, educator and founder of the Johnson Home Industrial College, which started in 1912 in Archery as a school for black youth. Archery is also the site of the St. Mark African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, Johnson’s home congregation. St. Mark represents the heart of the historically African-American community that constituted the majority of Archery during President Carter’s boyhood. We used tools and methods that encouraged participation and enabled people to share their stories. This included conducting interviews

and collecting oral histories from former residents of Archery, including President Carter. In addition, we participated in community events like the annual May Day festival and visited with people in their homes, businesses and churches. We documented stories about farming, fishing, segregated schooling and special events like family reunions, baseball games and train rides. And we linked these stories with material culture findings, such as photographs, remains of old buildings, abandoned wells and gravesites, and with places such as train depots, baseball fields, ponds, pecan groves and pine tree stands. Together they tell a story about a small community in rural Georgia that has national significance. Our team also translated some of the stories and information collected into maps, posters and other visual and digitally accessible products in order to showcase the community of Archery to people who were unfamiliar with its history and heritage. For example, with the help of community elders, we surveyed the St. Mark A.M.E. Church cemetery and identified nearly 200 graves, some of which had previously gone unmarked. We created a detailed map of the cemetery with associated names, and a geographic information system (GIS) database that digitally displays information listed on each grave marker and shows a picture of each gravesite. As Archery continues to work on preserving its past and securing its future, preservation and management of the cemetery should remain a key goal. It is an integral part of the Archery community. For example, it allows us to see multigenerational connections and extended family histories and reflect on them, such as those of Zenobia Wakefield, (1867-1962), midwife and member of a founding family of the community, and Bishop William Decker Johnson. The cemetery links the past to the present in tangible and intangible ways. Our cemetery mapping work, ethnographic interviews and other community engagement activities pursued as part of this project demonstrate the power of incorporating community knowledge into cultural resource management and heritage preservation initiatives. The National Park Service cited our ethnohistory study

of Archery in its 2015 Call to Action plan, which pledges that in its second century, the park system will “fully represent our nation’s ethnically and culturally diverse communities” and help communities protect places and objects that are special to them. Our Archery community project materials are archived at the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains, Georgia and are on display at the St. Mark A.M.E. Church. Our maps and posters can also be accessed via the USF Heritage Research Lab. As our work in Archery shows, we can find unique and precious connections to our past in seemingly unassuming places. In his book “Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache” (1996), anthropologist Keith Basso captures what places can mean to people and how people help us know places. Basso writes that: “places possess a marked capacity for triggering acts of self-reflection, inspiring thoughts about who one presently is, or memories of who one used to be, or musings on who one might become. And that is not all. Place-based thoughts about the self lead commonly to thoughts of other things - other places, other people, other times, whole networks of associations.” Wisdom does sit in places, and in stories people tell about those places, and the lives people live in those places. Perhaps we should reconsider the artificial lines that we often draw between natural and cultural resources, between tangible and intangible cultural resources and between historic resources in museums and the knowledge we can find within communities, families and their lived experiences. The national park system provides a window into stories about places, people and experiences. This makes it, and NPS’ cultural resources and heritage preservation programs – particularly those focused on engaging living communities – invaluable assets for educating future generations. We can learn as much about our American journey from people such as Bishop William Decker Johnson and communities such Archery as we can from experiencing the Grand Canyon or the mountains of Yosemite.

Christiansen leaving, but is that enough?

By Paul Gorski Contributor

innebago County is a mess: the county is facing an almost $8 million deficit for 2017, county officials are under investigation for financial mismanagement and the county board is fighting with elected county officials over last minute budget requests needed to run their departments. Fortunately, Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen is not running for re-election. Did I hear a sigh of relief out there? Continue to hold your breath. I have run for county board chairman against Christiansen twice now, but I am not running now. I have made commitments to my family and employer to complete important projects. The election would have been a huge distraction, and I did not want to quit or give up any of these projects. But I am still interested in this race because I

By Rich Miller

am hoping we can elect a true business professional to this position. Christiansen came to power because the then chairman Kris Cohn was making folks angry. Her people skills were not very polished and she was not a great schmoozer. Christiansen for all his faults is a smooth talker: I hear his nickname in high school was “Slick.” Unfortunately for the county, when

can breathe easy. What we need now is someone who has a proven track record of results, a business professional with a skill set to help lead the county out of its mess. Someone who can start the job and finish it with positive results. Local residents must stop voting for people just because they know them from high school, volunteered at church, or served up lemonade at a bake sale. Unless those experiences are combined with team building; legal and contract negotiations; and customer service leadership skills, they should be let aside when you enter the voting booth. I ask you to contact the candidates for our county races and decide for yourself who has the leadership skills we need right now – the people who have the skills to lead the county out of our current problems. The “nice” person from next door may not be the best person for the job. Let’s not get “Slicked” again.

Voter suppression comes to Illinois

Cohn choose to not run for re-election we lost her solid managerial skills and we got “Slick.” Randy Sturm, a former county board member with excellent financial skills, lost a Republican primary to Christiansen. Sturm, whom I am on good terms with, has a dry business-like communication approach, which ultimately affected his race. That was unfortunate for the county, because Sturm would not have let the county’s financial problems get this bad. During my races against Christiansen people told me they we’re voting for Scott because they knew him from school or church – or that he promised to help them on one project or another. People voted for him despite knowing about his personal business financial problems and that he did not have a great track record of delivering solutions for the county under his leadership. Christiansen is leaving and some of you

s Illinois the next state to deal with “voter suppression”? Maybe, depending how you look at it. You may know that a conservative group filed a federal lawsuit last week to stop Illinois’ election-day voter registration law from being carried out this November. The group’s top expert in the case is probably best known for his vigorous defense of Wisconsin’s controversial voter ID law, which was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge last month. Requiring voters to produce identification at the polls has often been ruled as an unconstitutional suppression tactic in numerous recent cases. M.V. Hood III, a political science professor at the University of Georgia, is consulting on the new case for the Illinois Policy Institute’s legal arm, the Liberty Justice Center. The lawsuit argues that since Illinois only requires in-precinct voter registration on election day in counties with populations over 100,000, it should be struck down for violating the constitutional equal protection rights of people in the other counties. Under state law, counties under 100,000 population must have a same-day voter registration process, but they are allowed to have only

one central registration/voting location. Same-day registration proved crucial on election day two years ago in a super-tight Illinois House race, when state Rep. Kate Cloonen (D-Kankakee) barely defeated Republican Glenn Nixon by a mere 122 votes. Cloonen is near the very top of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s political hit list this year. Not all, but most of the legislative Democrats targeted for defeat this year are in counties of over 100,000 people where same-day in-precinct registration is mandatory. Same-day registration certainly gives them an advantage in those counties because Democrats generally have a much better “ground game” than the Republicans. They have far more foot soldiers and a system to get people to the polls at the last minute. But if the entire same-day registration law is enjoined for this cycle, as Hood and the Illinois Policy Institute want, the ruling would undoubtedly have a negative impact on Democrats in every single contested House and Senate race in the state. Rauner has supported same-day registration in the past, but he has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Illinois Policy Institute, although everybody denies any current direct involvement. Even so, the Institute’s director John Tillman maintains very close ties

to Rauner, is said by GOP insiders to be assisting Rauner with his messaging and was seen on video walking out of a recent Chicago term limits press conference with the governor. Hood was a witness for Wisconsin this year as the Republican-controlled state attempted to fend off an attempt to declare its voter ID law unconstitutional. He claimed he knew of no reason why the state’s requirements to provide proof of identification in order to vote “will have a detrimental impact on the ability of Wisconsin voters to cast a ballot, including minority voters,” according to a May 26th Wisconsin State Journal article. But on July 29, U.S. District Judge James Peterson declared, “To put it bluntly, Wisconsin’s strict version of voter ID law is a cure worse than the disease” and ordered the state to supply voters with ID cards within 30 days. Earlier this year, the former chief of staff to a Wisconsin GOP state Senator alleged that Republican Senators were “giddy” during a private caucus meeting “and literally singled out the prospects of suppressing minority and college voters” with a voter ID law. Hood has also defended Georgia’s voter ID requirements, saying that while it did suppress turnout, he could find “no

empirical evidence to suggest that there is a racial or ethnic component to this suppression effect.” The new Illinois lawsuit points out that the same-day law was passed with only Democratic votes and was signed by a Democratic governor. “Not coincidentally,” the group wrote in a statement, “high-population counties in Illinois tend to favor Democratic candidates; low-population counties in Illinois tend to favor Republican candidates.” But state Rep. Christian Mitchell, D-Chicago, took to Twitter to repeatedly denounce the Illinois Policy Institute’s lawsuit as an attempt at “voter suppression,” similar to what happened in Wisconsin. Mitchell, an African-American legislator who strongly supported the same-day bill, claimed that, after “defending Rauner ‘budgets,’” the conservative think tank is “now doing his dirty work of voter suppression.” The group responded by repeating its legal claim that the law violates the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. This is, without a doubt, the single most fascinating year for Illinois politics in my lifetime. And it’s only gonna get weirder as every single trick in the book is played—and maybe some that aren’t even in the book.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: August 10 the sun in Leo squares the moon in Scorpio creating a reactive energy that may be a little hard to handle. There will be repercussions for impulsive actions, so tread lightly on that day and don’t do anything rash. August 11 Jupiter moves into Virgo until September 9, promising good fortune for all. However, these complement only the practical actions providing direction and protection for tangible assets. This is not a time for risk taking; slow and steady win the race. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Don’t make any promises that you can’t keep at this time. It’s better to gather more information about an individual or a source before you jump in too deep. Contacting an individual from your past may not work out as you anticipated at this time. It may be better for

you to leave this sit for now. Progress with financial debt slowly but surely evolves now. Think about your long-term goals, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— You may be the one to shed the light for another who is trying to get out from the emotional control of an overpowering individual. Now might be a good time to step back and look at any progress this person has developed on their own. You should not get into the habit of holding this person up. This will create a strain on you and drain your energy. Midweek brings a surprise encounter with an individual from your past. This brings positive results, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your 15 minutes of fame arrives during this lunar cycle and will influence your career and personal life in a positive direction. A romantic dynamic may be lacking for many of you Gemini. However, as summer rolls into fall opportunities align that will resonate with your mind, body and spirit. Go for it, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A prominent figure arrives promoting you into the next realm within your career sector at this

time. Be cautious of an individual that may attempt to ride your coattails during this lunar cycle. It may be best to keep some of your negotiations under wraps until a contract or alliance has solidified. Don’t jinx yourself, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Unexpected developments with family have a surprise twist this week for the better. Someone provides you with an answer to a prayer now. Another is able to help you sort out your behavior in the recent past. The underlying negative influences of another will be exposed now. From there you will move forward with clarity and confidence. Work aspects are favorable by week’s end, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A female may try to work against your relationship sector behind the scenes. Information you receive now needs to be dealt with effectively. Avoiding this or going into denial about it will only compound the problem. Providing support to a loved one is your best bet now. Validating their feelings is crucial at this time. What comes to light needs to be taken seriously, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — News you receive now needs to be taken to heart, even if it is not presented in the best possible light. Someone is concerned and they may be able to see something that you are currently not able to visualize. Try to listen to the facts and not allow the delivery of this to cloud your judgment. This information will be valuable in the months to come, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — More clarification comes to light regarding a relationship this week. You’re more comfortable with the progress and are willing to let your guard down a little more now. After a long, draggedout process with a work aspect, everyone is beginning to see a shift in productivity at this time. Financial windfalls from this will be evident shortly, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — New business, new friends, and new social activ-

ities will begin to emerge during this lunar cycle. Take advantage of these powerful, positive influences and say yes to invitations to impromptu gatherings now. A change in your appearance is evident as well. You radiate health and sensuality. Your efforts personally and professionally are beginning to pay off. An emphasis on home and property will begin to take shape and form during the fall and winter months, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — There is an emphasis on romance this week and for some of you, it may be the clarification that you’ve needed for quite some time now. It may be better to be on your own than to be connected to something that doesn’t meet your emotional or intellectual criteria. Others may find that they have gone through a major turning point with love and are ready to take the next step. No matter which place you find yourself in this week you will surely see growth and development in this area, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — An offer of work or additional business will be available now. Check it out, this may be just the advantage you need to make your long-term goals a reality. There has been an element of stagnation and this will provide a breath of fresh air into your daily routine. It appears like you may need to hash out some emotional aspect with a female at this time. Go for it and choose your words carefully, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Retrace your steps and see how you may have gotten into this rut that you’ve allowed yourself to get into now. Remove those who are not a productive part of your longterm goals and dreams. Time has a way of sneaking up on us all. Your progress with emotional or financial situations may be affected by your choice of comrades at this time. Surround yourself with those who have a positive influence now, Pisces.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

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.

Voices from the Grave

The enigmatic Dr. Elisha Dunn

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

t seems that many people in Rockford knew of Elisha Dunn. But they differed in their opinions about him. Some saw him as a healer, a medical doctor who saved lives. Others labeled him an eccentric man who once thought himself a psychic. Many others, less kind, called him a fraud, swindler, and a liar. Certain facts are known, of course. Elisha Dunn was born in New York state on July 27, 1840 to Hiram and Charlotte Dunn. His parents moved the family to Sandusky, Ohio when Elisha was three-years-old. The family stayed in Ohio for six years then they moved to Battle Creek, Michigan. It was while he was in Michigan that Elisha met Carrie Etts. The two fell in love and were married on July 27, 1859. They came to Rockford in 1863 and Elisha bought property around the Fairgrounds Park area on West State. The couple had two children that survived, one girl named Aeola and a boy, James. Elisha Dunn traveled with Spiritualist, John Martin Peebles, described as a physician, author and philosopher. In the 1870s Elisha was thrilled when he obtained the role of secretary to Dr. Peebles who was appointed to

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city. “The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifacts. “The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.” This week, we look back at the formation of The First Baptist Church, Rockford’s first house of worship. First Baptist, organized at the corner of Church and Green Streets, was formed the same year our town acquired its name, being rechristened Rockford from Midway in 1837.

a diplomatic post in the Far East. Dunn later credited Dr. Peebles for helping him develop his psychic powers. Dunn and Peebles spent four years traveling the globe. On his return, Elisha was invited to give presentations where he displayed his remarkable collection of curious items to crowds varying in size from a handful to several thousand. These items, Dunn claimed, were ancient treasures that he had recovered from faraway lands. Elisha would also claim that it was during this worldwide journey that he achieved the height of his psychic abilities. Much later

some would state that Elisha contradicted himself by stating that during this tour he became a convert to the Methodist church. Elisha’s wife, Carrie, passed away around 1893 and it was after the death of Carrie that Dunn seems to become a little unhinged. He bought one of the first motor cars in Rockford and would roar down the street waving his large hat at everyone. This car became even more unique when Dunn started to bring his beloved dog for rides. He designed a seat for the dog that he placed on the hood of his automobile. Dunn also decided to pierce his dog’s ears and decorated them with diamond studs. Elisha served as a doctor, ran for Mayor twice and was elected to the City Council as an alderman. In 1905 he, along with the rest of the council, was charged with accepting bribes. They were given money as a bribe to grant a utility contract to a certain company instead of allowing another company to obtain theirs. Dunn, along with two other men, was found guilty and ordered to pay fines but then was allowed to return to politics. When Dunn was a deputy grand commander with the Knights of Pythias, he weathered yet another scandal. Dunn was being considered for a national office within the organization when some of his opponents leaked information about Dunn’s former occupation as a psychic. They accused Dunn of swindling thousands of dollars from the unsuspecting townspeople for his readings. Elisha Dunn passed away in his home on

March 24, 1914. Newspaper articles from that day claimed that Elisha was one of the best known men in Rockford, whether it was because of his habit of wearing his hair long or the scandals that seemed to follow him was unclear. Elisha’s funeral was conducted by the Masons and took place in his grand home once located on West State Street. He was laid to rest next to Carrie under the elaborate tomb he built for her in Greenwood Cemetery. After Dunn’s death the controversy concerning him grew when it was discovered that several of his claims were false. Some of his ancient items in his collections are found to be fakes, including ancient coins. He also had a collection of nooses allegedly used in different high profile executions that proved to be all cut from the same piece of rope. Whether or not Elisha Dunn was a psychic, a healer or a scoundrel does not really matter anymore. He attracted attention when he was alive and still has people discussing him over 100 years after he died. That definitely earns him a place in Rockford’s history.

Harvesting the squash family

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

At this time of the season, you are getting close to harvesting members of the squash family. The squash family includes butternut, acorn, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkins and gourds. Many people get confused as to when to harvest these as you can harvest them too early or late. These recommendations for telling when to harvest crops are general. You may be growing a unique variety that has different color and shape that may not fit within these guidelines. You also can sometimes harvest a test fruit that you think is ready before harvesting all that you are growing. This ensures that you are harvesting at the right time. Watermelon can be picked when the tendril closest to where the watermelon meets the vine is brown. A tendril is a tiny growth of the vine. The “thumping” method is not always reliable. You can also look for a creamy, white bottom where the watermelon laid on the ground. Sometimes I look for cucumber beetle

damage as this can be an additional sign that the watermelon is ready. Cantaloupe is ready when the net like skin is tan, the fruit easily comes off the vine, and it smells like cantaloupe at the end of the Spaghetti squash should be harvested when the squash is yellow and orange in color. The squash should not have any green color. You can place a fingernail into the squash to see if it punctures as it shouldn’t do this if the squash is mature. For pumpkins and gourds, harvest them based on their color and shape. It should be uniform in color as well. Like spaghetti squash, use a fingernail to see if you can put a dent in it. The stem of the pumpkins should be very dry and hard. Winter squash such as butternut and acorn can be picked when their stem has dried/brown, uniform color, and do not puncture with a fingernail. By keeping these harvest tips in mind, it will ensure that you can eat the summer crops now and store the other ones for this fall.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

The Dearly Departed Sisters, as was noted in last week’s recipe blurb, liked French food, but Ma Schier also had affection for German food from the time she lived in downtown Chicago and went to Berghoff’s restaurant, 17 W. Adams St., on a regular basis. My sister Virginia, AKA Gingie Peachie, attended Marquette in Milwaukee, and Ma became acquainted with Karl Ratzsch’s restaurant, 320 E Mason St. and returned many times. She also studied the German language on her own, and I still have those textbooks and 45 rpm records in my library. She also loved Strauss waltzes. She was of Irish, Scottish and English lineage, (her maiden name was Loveland), so why she liked all things Duetschland (including my father) was a mystery to me.

So I asked my sister Margaret (AKA Gert/ Gertrude), and she said the man who painted our house in the 1960s was named Frank Columbus, and his wife was named Margret, and the son was Hans. Gert said Ma became very good friends with Margret, and she used to tell her all about Germany and how they escaped the Nazis. According to Gert, Margret left Frank because he was a very hard man; “He was so German,” said Gert. “Ma drove Margret to O’Hare, so she could fly home.” Ma was also a favorite of my farming Grandpa John Schier, and she always spoke of him fondly. The phrase, “He was so German” really fit Grandpa, too. So here’s a recipe for anyone growing red cabbage in their garden this summer, with an apple tree nearby; or just go to the store, where my sister was when I called her for this...

Ma Schier and Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

Business Sense

‘Invulnerability Illusion’ 18-24 year-olds don’t know…what they don’t know

By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

he stereotype of the “little old lady” as scam victim is wrong, and millennials “young folk” are actually more vulnerable to scams than baby boomers. That’s the conclusion of new research by the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust (BBB Institute). Each year, marketplace scams affect one in four households in the U.S. and Canada at an estimated loss to individuals and families of $50 billion, yet most consumers believe they are invulnerable. BBB undertook this research because it’s vital, not only to stop scammers from hurting consumers but to help businesses. That $50 billion ‘underground’ economy is stealing from the legitimate marketplace. Every dollar lost to a scam is a dollar not spent at a lawful, trustworthy business. The research, Cracking the Invulnerability Illusion: Stereotypes, Optimism Bias, and the Way Forward for Marketplace Scam Education, is based on a survey of more than 2,000 adults in the U.S. and Canada. Download “Cracking the Invulnerability Illusion” at BBB.org/TruthAboutScams. Participants were asked about their perceived vulnerability to scams, who they think is most likely to be scammed, and about the factors that helped them to avoid being scammed. The participants did not know that BBB was the sponsor of the survey. We’ve bought into stereotypes about scam victims – they’re usually seen as vulnerable and elderly, or gullible and poorly educated. These stereotypes are strongly held... and they are wrong. We are all at risk, but here’s the shocker…younger and more educated individuals are actually the most likely to be scammed. “Optimism Bias” – the idea that we all think other people are more vulnerable than we are – is associated with risk-taking and failure to heed precautionary advice. Seniors may be the one group that does not suffer from optimism bias when it comes to scams. They’ve heard, loud and clear, that they are at risk. Seniors may very well be more scam savvy than others. They are also less impulsive buyers than younger consumers, and less likely to be making purchases online where so many scams take place. The new research also confirms some trends noted in BBB Scam Tracker, a crowd-sourced reporting tool. More than 30,000 consumers have reported details of scams to BBB since the site was launched in

late 2015, and reports are shared with law enforcement to drive investigations. Of those consumers reporting scams to BBB Scam Tracker, 89 percent of seniors (age 65 and up) recognized the scam in time, while only 11 percent reported actually losing money. For those age 18-24, however, more than three times as many failed to recognize the scam – 34 percent reported losing money. Armed with this information, BBB is calling for a new direction for how society approaches the problem of fraud. The report recommends a three-pronged approach: Leverage Technology, Crowdsourcing and Altruism: Targets of scams feel empowered when they can take back some control by reporting what has happened to them in order to help warn others. This altruistic impulse is the number one motivator for reporting scams. As noted in the report, “The voices and stories of others have the potential to normalize the problem in a positive way, shedding the shame and stigma of victimization with the message that, if it can happen to other people like me, it can happen to me.” Take Aim at the Optimism Bias: Consumer education must heighten perceptions of personal risk and provide information that boosts confidence in one’s ability to protect oneself. Motivation to take protective action requires both the sense that one is vulnerable and the tools to do something about it. Effective public education must take a twofold approach; it must confront its audience with messaging that runs counter to stereotypes and perceived invulnerability, while at the same time providing information that empowers individuals to avoid becoming victims. Provide Preemptive Information: Survey participants, when asked what might have prevented them from being scammed, said knowing about different scam types and understanding common methods used by scammers prior to being targeted would have helped. Nearly 80 percent of respondents identified one of these two factors as most protective; only one in five felt doing research after being approached by a scammer was most protective.

Just what corn and soybean yield is the market trading?

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Ample July precipitation in a large portion of the U.S. corn and soybean production areas, coupled with very high crop condition ratings for both crops, have generated expectations for large yields for both crops. Those expectations haveresultedinasharpdeclineinpricesbeginning in mid-June for corn and early July for soybeans. The USDA is scheduled to release the first survey-basedyieldandproductionforecastsofthe seasononAugust12. Asthereleasedateapproaches,yieldestimatesbyprivateanalystsarebecoming available, more for corn than for soybeans so far. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the USDA calculates the trend corn yield for 2016 at 168 bushels per acre and corn yield expectations are generally high. However, there is a surprisingly large range in the estimates. Expectations are clustered between 167 and 172 bushels, but appear to range between about 160 and 175 bushels per acre. Good says a number of factors likely contribute to the large range in expectations. “Yield expectations at the low end of the range may reflect relatively dry conditions in some important production areas over the past two weeks,

and for longer periods in some areas,” Good says. “In addition, those expectations may reflect ideas thatperiodsofabove-normaltemperaturesduring June and early July may have resulted in some pollination issues and that upcoming periods of above-normal temperatures may adversely affect grain fill. In sum, yield expectations at the low end of the range reflect the possibility of some crop issuesthataremaskedbytheweeklycropcondition ratings. For example, the incidence of ear ‘tip back,’ which is when corn kernels do not extend to the end of the cob, has received a lot of discussion this year in terms of potential impact on yields.” Good says quantifying the incidence and impact of such conditions on U.S. yield potential is extremely difficult, as discussed in a recent article by Emerson Nafziger in the Department of Crop Sciences in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at U of I. “Yield expectations at the high end of the range likely reflect the incidence of above normal rainfall in manyareasduringJuly,lackofextendedperiodsof abovenormaltemperatures,andgenerallyhealthy plant conditions as reflected in the weekly crop condition ratings.” So what yield is the market actually trading? “It’s difficult to extract a yield expectation from

current futures prices for the 2016-17 marketing year because the market trades both supply and demand expectations,” Good says. “USDA marketing year, supply, demand, and price projections can be used as a starting point. As indicated, the USDA calculates the trend yield for 2016 at 168 bushels per acre, which would produce a crop of 14.54 billion bushels.” As projected in the July 12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, a crop of that size points to 2016-17 marketing-year ending stocks of 2.081 billion bushels and a marketing-year average farm price centered on $3.40 per bushel. The USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) has developed a model that projects the marketing-year average farm price of corn based on current futures prices, 5-year average U.S. seasonal basis values, and 5-year average monthly farmer marketing weights. “Using the closing futures prices of August 5, that model projects the season average price at $3.21 per bushel,” Good says. “Assuming market expectations for corn demand and consumption duringtheyearaheadaresimilartothoseprojected by the USDA, that price projection suggests that the market is likely trading a corn yield above 168 bushels and near the high end of expectations.” TheUSDAcalculatesthesoybeantrendyieldfor 2016 at 46.7 bushels per acre. Good says current private-sector reports of expected 2016 soybean yields are less numerous than for corn, but appear to be clustered in the 47 to 48 bushel range. Abovetrend yield expectations generally reflect very high crop condition ratings. Like corn, however,

there are some late season uncertainties about the soybean crop. “More numerous incidences of disease, such as sudden death syndrome, brown stem rot, and white mold, seem to be popping up. There is also some concern that the lush vegetative growth that has resulted in high crop condition ratingsmaybeattheexpenseofyieldpotential.The importance of August weather also contributes to yield uncertainty,” Good says. Based on the projection of harvested acreage near 83 million, Good says a trend yield of 46.7 bushels would produce a crop of 3.88 billion bushels. “Based on a crop of that size, the July 12 WASDE report projected 2016-17 marketing-year ending stocks of soybeans at 290 million bushels and a marketing-year average farm price centered on $9.50 per bushel. Using the ERS model that forecasts the marketing-year average farm price of soybeans based on futures prices, closing futures prices on August 5 pointed to a marketing-year average farm price of $9.28. Again, assuming the market expectation of soybean demand and consumption during the year ahead is similar to that of the USDA, the market appears to be trading an average yield above trend value and near the expected levels being reported in the trade. “Although both corn and soybeans are receiving some modest support from late-season demand strength in the export market, prices remain pressured by expectations for above trend yields, and record crops in the U.S. yield expectations reflected by current corn prices are especially high,” Good says.

NFL Pre-Season

Only so much in Bears’ control

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

he challenges of a rebuild aren’t limited to acquiring talent and hitting on draft picks. Those players must successfully mesh with each other on either side of the ball i.e. chemistry. Then comes their actual process of development to become quality or even serviceable. With your scouting department up to par, all of this should seem simple enough if you’re Bears general manager Ryan Pace. However one caveat that people don’t take into account is fortune. In a league with such high prevalence of injury, you just have to hope your team can stay relatively healthy. There’s just a matter of the proverbial “bounce” of how each situation plays out. Even while he’s done a remarkable job of putting in every contingency plan, Pace’s Bears in that respect haven’t enjoyed the best of luck. In fact, let’s go down the docket. Your top pass rusher and former high value free agent signing, Pernell McPhee, had surgery on a knee in the offseason. This was a nagging issue that hindered the second half of McPhee’s 2015 season. As fate would have it, McPhee is still

recovering and didn’t practice at all during training camp in Bourbonnais. The Bears have not given a timetable for his return putting much of the beginning of the season for him in doubt. Luckily, the Bears have plenty of depth on the defensive front seven and especially outside linebacker in Willie Young, Lamarr Houston and Sam Acho. But this team is demonstratively better with their dynamic playmaking force McPhee in the fold. It’s fine in a sense if this is something McPhee has to manage for the rest of his career as long as he’s playing at a high level. The Bears just aren’t sure what McPhee they’re going to get and that changes a lot of plans defensively. Your star receiver, Alshon Jeffery, is yet again having hamstring issues. Of course, the team isn’t necessarily happy about his health. As has been well documented, Jeffery is on a franchise tag and playing for a new contract that would behoove to prove his durability. Jeffery not being able to consistently produce and actually get onto the field makes circumstances a lot more difficult for others like de facto rookie receiver Kevin White, tight end Zach Miller, and of course Jay Cutler who had his own rotating cast of depth receivers last season. Given the Bears’ early luck, it’s only ironic that

Miller himself is already involved in the concussion protocol along with slot receiver Eddie Royal neither of whom have practiced in over a week. The Bears don’t want to endure the same circus, but the human body has to cooperate. Finally, of the major storylines and injuries that Pace hasn’t been able to foresee despite his quality drafting and moves in free agency are just how his offensive line has been absolutely ravaged. Whether it’s depth retiring early and quite unexpectedly like tackle Nate Chandler and guard Manny Ramirez, or the recently season ending torn ACL of the promising second year center Hroniss Grasu, the Bears front line or now lack thereof is being tested early. You can’t put fault on players for having second thoughts about continuing to play football in the cases of Chandler and Ramirez. People are complex after all. Depending on who you talk to, unless Soldier Field’s grass quality is completely Pace’s burden, Grasu’s torn ACL at this past Saturday’s ‘Family Fest’ was also just an unfortunate slip-up. Still, after a position group that looked like it had plenty of depth and young talent in minicamp in spring, the Bears find themselves probably one injury away from the edge of complete disaster. Ted Larsen, a quality backup from Arizona, steps into the fold at center and he still has plenty of help. The entire starting group of Charles Leno, Cody Whitehair, Larsen, Kyle Long, and Bobbie Massie can prove to be a

quality offensive line but that’s not the question. With Grasu’s injury and all of these early retirements, the Bears trusted depth doesn’t extend past their starters. In advance of Thursday’s preseason opener against the Broncos, there’s no doubt Pace is already trying to build more safety nets in free agency or a trade. Even then, this group is rail thin, and it might derail all hopes for the upcoming season. Head coach John Fox loves to wax poetically about inserting the “next man up” once someone goes down which is admirable and a kind of comfort for Pace that his coach can help anyone step in. But next man up implies literally what it says. The person stepping in lieu of injury was a backup, meaning a lesser quality player and in some cases, as the Bears may experience on the offensive line, not even NFL caliber. In some respects, this is the reality for every team at intermittent points in the season but some are better equipped to handle it than others. Fox commented on Grasu’s injury but the sentiment could be applied to the entire organization: “It’s a setback. Sometimes those are setups for better things. We’ll see what they are.” Indeed, time will only tell what is in store for these early-injury stricken Bears.

After up-and-down July, Cubs finally back on a roll; Sox remain static By Cat Garcia Contributor

fter what seemed to be a brief scare during the early days of July, when the Cubs starting pitching staff was headed into a tailspin of poor performances coupled with a trial-and-error constructed bullpen, the Cubs are back to their old selves and ready to take the baseball world by storm. The Cubs were riding a seven-game winning streak entering Tuesday night’s matchup with the Angels, taking a come from behind series sweep of the Miami Marlins last week at Wrigley Field before heading out on the road for a quick sweep of the Oakland A’s. Outfielder Jorge Soler made his long awaited return to the lineup during the team’s series in Oakland, and in his first plate appearance since June 6, crushed a three-run homer into the seats at O.co Colesium on Friday night. Two days later, in the series finale in Oakland, Soler hit another solo shot, and is proving to be slotting comfortably back into the Cubs lineup. In a corresponding move to Soler’s return from the DL, the Cubs designated relief pitcher Joe Nathan for assignment. Starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks has been consistently exceptional this season, and lately that consistency has shown through on the mound. Hendricks tossed his second career

complete game shutout on August 1st against the Marlins, and followed up the brilliant performance in Oakland on Sunday with another strong outing. Hendricks went 7.1 innings allowing just three hits and one earned run. Sitting at 2.20 on the season, Hendricks currently owns the lowest ERA of the Cubs starting staff — including Jake Arrieta, whose ERA is sitting at 2.59. The Cubs are back home at Wrigley Field for a lengthy nine day, ten game homestand that includes a doubleheader against the Brewers next Tuesday. The Cubs will face the Cardinals for a four game set starting Thursday, and will be on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball to wrap up the series before hitting the road again. • On the South side, things have settled into their quiet, humdrum ways after a few chaotic weeks leading up to the trade deadline. Last Thursday, White Sox rookie shortstop Tim Anderson was hit on the hand by a pitch from Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann, sending the White Sox into a short panic that the injury might have been a broken bone. X-rays came back negative, and Anderson was listed as day-to-day with a bruised left hand. In a tragic beginning to his major league career, outfielder Charlie Tilson, who was acquired from the Cardinals in the Zach

Duke trade just last week, tore his hamstring attempting to make a diving catch in the outfield at Comerica Park during his major league debut last Tuesday. Tilson underwent season ending surgery shortly after. “This is a dream. He gets called up, gets a hit in his first at-bat and after that it all gets taken away from you for a while. It’s tough. All the guys on the team, as much as you want to put it out of your mind, you feel for the kid,” White Sox Manager Robin Ventura said of Tilson’s injury. Tilson is not the first White Sox player to be injured during their major league debut, the list includes 3B Matt Davidson who

Chapman, acquired specifically to give the Cubs the best reliever in baseball for the highest-leverage moments, where the results of a few at-bats could determine whether they have a historic season or not, is the most telling move, but also the most bloodless. For the difference between Chapman and the average reliever who will be pushed out of their bullpen by his arrival, they were willing to take on a man who was

broke his foot, and Catcher Kevan Smith who was injured before even making his first start. The White Sox will continue their lengthy road trip in Kansas City after having dropped two series to the Tigers and Orioles last week. The team will then head to Miami to take on the Wild-Card chasing Marlins before finishing out the road trip in Cleveland for a three game set against the Indians starting next Tuesday.

For Cubs brass, this is next year

By James Fegan Contributor

erhaps you noticed it recently, but the Cubs are trying to win the World Series.

Not in the sense of the larger goal to bring a championship to Wrigleyville that Theo Epstein came to the North side with back in 2011, but the 2016 World Series. There were already significant hints, since 35-year-old super-utility man Ben Zobrist and 37-year-old salty veteran starter John Lackey were not exactly additions made with the long-term core in mind, but nothing the Cubs have done since becoming surprise contenders last year has signaled the beginning of the final stage of their grand rebuilding plan like this year’s trade deadline. For years Cubs fans had grown accustomed to shrugging off the drama of living

and dying every gameday for the subtle thrills of “watching” prospects mature through minor league stat lines and brief snippets of YouTube scouting videos, or cheering from armchairs for trades that “added value” even if they didn’t fill any particular need. But this July, they witnessed their team make a spate of the sort of short-term moves they once enjoyed being on the other side of. First, the Cubs took Dan Vogelbach, the long-time compiler of prodigious minor league batting lines, and shipped him to Seattle for left-handed reliever Mike Montgomery. For many, the move was galling; Vogelbach had long promised to be the type of bat the Cubs needed to find some way to fit into their loaded lineup, while Montgomery, albeit a former top prospect, had only found a foothold as a reliever this year, and his success doesn’t even look that sustainable yet. Even more aggressive was purging top-30

prospect Gleyber Torres and three other lower-tier minor leaguers to New York for a few months of the services of flamethrowing reliever Aroldis Chapman. Ceding control of the first six-plus years of Torres’ promising career for a proven closer, let alone a rental of a closer, goes against all the traditional sabermetric principles that Epstein’s success in the league has helped popularize, and that’s saying nothing on the fact that Chapman’s presence pushed aside a closer in Hector Rondon that was already pretty good. Compared to these moves, getting side-arming righty Joe Smith from Los Angeles for a Single-A arm was pretty tame, if not still a little weird. Smith is older (32), doesn’t have much upside and hasn’t been that good this year, but if pitching coach Chris Bosio can find an adjustment to make him effective down the stretch, the risk will be worth it, which is the crux of the matter.

Now that the Cubs have their best team in decades, a near-guaranteed playoff qualifier that should be favored in every series, the benefits of improving their chances to end their 108-year World Series drought increases, rather than decreases. For fringe contenders like division rivals the Pirates and Cardinals, sinking further resources into a season unlikely to end in a title should have its limits. Turning a one percent chance into a three percent chance isn’t very valuable, but for the Cubs, mortal locks to play in the division series and currently owners of a 19.4 percent chance to win it all according to Baseball Prospectus, every percentage point they can add to their odds win a World Series, or even just win their first pennant since the end of World War II is worth millions upon millions for the potential revenue it would generate.
