Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has a 6-percentagepoint lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll released Tuesday.

Clinton’s support has ranged from 41 percent to 44 percent since late July, and was about 41 percent in the Aug. 11-15 online poll.

Trump’s support has experienced wider shifts ranging from 33 percent to 39 percent while his campaign has endured controversies and distractions in recent weeks. He is favored by about 35 percent of likely voters, according to the most recent poll.

Trump has caused divisions in the Republican Party with his strong antiimmigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric, and faced criticism from both parties earlier this month for a days-long feud with the parents of a Muslim American Army captain killed in Iraq. Last week, 70 Republicans, including former members of Congress and Republican National Committee staff, wrote a letter calling for the RNC to stop helping Trump, whose actions they said were “divisive and dangerous.”

The number of likely voters who picked neither Clinton nor Trump in the poll was nearly 24 percent.

In a separate Reuters/Ipsos poll that gave respondents the option to choose from Clinton, Trump, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Clinton also led Trump by 6 percentage points.

Of the alternative party candidates, Johnson came in third with 8 percentage points. Stein had about 2 percentage points.

The Aug. 11-15 polls surveyed a sample of 1,132 and 1,131 likely voters, respectively, and had a credibility interval of 3 percentage points.

Pundit John McLaughlin dies at 89

T elevision news executive and commentator John McLaughlin, a former Jesuit priest who hosted the public affairs broadcast “The McLaughlin Group” for 34 years, died on Tuesday, the show said.

“The McLaughlin Group” announced the death on Facebook but gave no details about the cause or where McLaughlin died.

“Now he has said bye bye for the last time, to rejoin his beloved dog, Oliver, in heaven. He will always be remembered,” it said.

McLauglin, a former speechwriter for Republican Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, launched “The McLaughlin Group,” which featured a roundtable discussion of current events among panelists, in 1982.

The show is carried by CBS-owned stations and public television stations.

An interview show, “John McLaughlin’s One on One,” ran from 1984 to 2013.

McLaughlin was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and was ordained a priest in 1959. He held two master’s degrees from Boston College, and a doctorate in philosophy from Columbia University.

County

Bring the chairman position back in order

W

innebago County Board members Eli Nicolosi and John Guevara rocked the politicking boat the past couple weeks, with the latter producing a proposal which would effectively end the role of the chairman in county politics as we know it.

The proposed rule change would see the advent of an executive committee overseeing most of the county board’s operations, from appointments to supervisory duties of department heads.

Backlash was swift and, as the two told us, expected.

But what has it told us about the expectations of county government from the established political voices in the community? Calling the move a “power grab” or “business as usual” surely does nothing other than obfuscate the intent: to eradicate the ineffective and costly directives now laid at the feet of the chairman’s post.

Whether or not the proposal

stacks up legally is still being mulled over. Guevara and Nicolosi have both said that proposing any illegal measure was certainly not their intention; starting the discussion on how to fix an objectively broken county government was.

Frank Haney, running as the Republican candidate for the chairman seat, called it the “illusion of reform” in a Rockford Register Star commentary, and derided the “good ol’ boy” nature of the measure.

“Why establish a fundamentally new organizational structure just ahead of a new board and new chairman taking office?” he asked.

“This overreach is also a distraction from focusing on the budget gap in FY ’16 and FY ’17.”

That sounds more like the illusion of concern and the want to perpetuate those very “good ol’ boy” standards. Haney has a pressing interest in seeing the chairmanship remain as-is. What else would he be running for if not to assume an office with such power? Why

else would he ask for this discussion to be held over until after this November’s elections when the new board and chairman are in place?

“We’re not saying the board should do the job (of the chairman),” Guevara told The Times Tuesday. “We’re saying that the chairman has all the authority that state law requires and the process for anything else should be in the light of day, not behind closed doors.”

Perhaps the exec com proposal from Guevara and Nicolosi isn’t the right answer, but at least it has started the discussion – one Winnebago County desperately needs to have. Allowing a chairman to run roughshod over the business of the county has led from one embarrassing gaffe to the next, and has seen the FBI run the rule over the board’s finances, resulting in one criminal indictment so far. Haney asks why the process of identifying solutions to these systemic ills didn’t begin two or three years ago, but we would have to ask what’s so wrong

with beginning the process now?

When an election is to be held should have no bearing on the duties of those already elected by their constituents. Guevara and Nicolosi have listened to the people they represent and those people want to see changes. Whether the timing of those changes proves inconvenient to a possible future chairman is a moot point. The changes need to come.

The end result should see the chairman position brought back in line with the duties the title bestows upon the seat: presiding over board and committee meetings; making sure those meetings are conducted properly under the rules of the county government; and working to achieve consensus among the county board members. The hybrid model of the chairman as de facto chief executive which Winnebago County has suffered cannot be the future, and working to end that unchecked and unaccountable state of the position should begin whenever

is possible, not whenever is convenient for interested parties.

There may be an election coming but that does not stop the work of the current government at any level.

If Guevara’s proposal does not stack up then one must provide reasoned and sound alternatives, not throw their hands up and shout about time frames and looming elections.

“We trust that future chairmen have the best interest of the people at heart, and the people deserve a board whose mandate is to verify that trust,” said Guevara. “Board members should be legislating through the windshield and not the rearview mirror.”

If you think this proposal is nothing but political grandstanding, then stop your own grandstanding for the sake of political showmanship and provide solutions. Waiting until after the election is a disservice to the people of Winnebago County. The chairmanship is broken; fix the chairmanship.

Star owner GateHouse offers voluntary severance to staff

Staff Report

ROCKFORD – GateHouse Media, the parent company of the Rockford Register Star and more than 120 daily newspapers across the U.S., announced to its staff Tuesday a voluntary severance offer for newsroom employees.

In an internal email from GateHouse Media CEO Kirk Davis, the company lays out the plan which would see employees begin to exit its rolls as soon as Sept. 16.

“Today GateHouse Media is announcing a Voluntary Severance Offer,” the email states.

“The action supports ongoing efforts across our organization to reduce costs. While we continue to make progress toward our goal of being revenue positive by 2018 and year-to-date our revenue has improved and outperformed our industry peers, we continue to see revenue declines and must align our expenses accordingly.”

Eligible employees are asked to register their interest in the severance program no later than Monday, Aug. 29. From there, the company

says it will make its final decision on which employees to extend offers to by Sept. 7.

Employees with less than 20 years of service with the company are eligible to receive one week of base pay for every year of service, up to 13 weeks. Employees with 20 years or more time with the company will be capped at 17

weeks of pay under the plan.

“For employees who ultimately participate in the VSO, their last date of employment will generally occur on Friday, September 16, 2016,” says the email.

Union leaders for affected newsrooms, including Rockford, have been contacted about

In print weekly; online daily at

their participation in the severance program, the email states.

GateHouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Sept. 2013, citing $433.7 million in assets against $1.3 billion in debt. The planned bankruptcy event saw the company emerge under a new holding company, New Media Investment Group Inc., in Nov. 2013.

GateHouse formerly employed more than 65 persons at its Rockford-based Design House and Community Content House offices, which opened in 2012. Both departments were moved to Austin, Texas during 2014 under a newly created Center for News and Design.

The closing of the Rockford offices was announced in early-2013 but ultimately took more than a year to see all operations shifted to Texas. Tuesday’s email from Kirk indicates that design center employees are excluded from the severance plan.

A call to GateHouse for comment was not returned Tuesday.

Rauner stands by automatic voter veto

Get the latest weather updates at RockRiverTimes.com/AccuWeather

Despite saying he supports the overall concept, Gov. Bruce Rauner is sticking by his veto of a measure to automatically register voters who interact with state agencies.

Supporters of the legislation criticized Gov. Rauner’s veto saying he didn’t understand what was in the bill. Deputy Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice Kathleen Yang-Clayton said they worked hard to craft the legislation.

“At any time the governor could have raised his concerns with Senate Bill 250,” she said, “but instead he waited until the eleventh hour and vetoed a good bill,” she said.

Gov. Rauner said his administration was engaged in the process and is still engaged but he believes the bill violates federal election law.

“The bill itself does not have a requirement for people to actually sign the application to register to vote and proactively say they want to register,” he said.

Rauner claims that the law would put Illinois in violation of federal statutes. Critics disagree, however, saying Rauner has misinterpreted the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) in his veto motion.

“The Governor’s message that individuals must be given the opportunity to decline registration at the DMV is a misreading of the NVRA,” said Abe Scarr of Illinois PIRG, a Chicago-based consumer advocacy group.

“That is a requirement at the social service agencies, and for those agencies, the bill was drafted to place the opt-out at the point of agency interaction. It is not a requirement of DMV transactions” Democratic State Rep. Carol Ammons said SB 250 was an effort to combat voter suppression. “So I urge the governor to work with us to find a reasonable way to bring efficiency to the voting process,” she said.

Gov. Rauner said he still supports the concept of the bill but his veto is meant to ensure voter integrity.

Gov. Rauner said his veto message offers ideas to fix the legislation “so we can encourage voters, everyone who wants to vote and is entitled to vote, to be able to vote very easily but make sure we try to eliminate risk of inadvertent voter fraud or inappropriate voting.”

However, Scarr says the unwillingness of the Rauner camp to enter discussions over SB 250 earlier in the year led directly to the governor’s veto.

“Under SB250, individuals have an ongoing opportunity to opt out, but not

at the point of DMV interaction,” he said.

“We communicated in negotiations that we would be ok with providing the opportunity to decline address updates at the DMV, if the individual is presented at the time with their current registration status.

“That request of the Governor’s office, like most of their requests, could have and would have been incorporated in the bill language had they engaged in April or May, but they did not.”

Regardless of Gov. Rauner’s proposed fixes Ammons is urging a veto override. The bill passed the General Assembly with overwhelming bipartisan support in both houses.

Lawmakers in the state senate aren’t scheduled back in session until Nov. 15, after the general election.

Pot supporters press ahead for legalization

With the recent signing of legislation reducing penalties for the possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana in Illinois, supporters hope state legislators soon will consider approving the drug for recreational use, too.

Now, anyone stopped for possessing fewer than 10 grams of marijuana will receive a civil fine of no more than $200, will not be arrested, and the incident will not go on his or her criminal record. The legislation also decriminalizes offenses related to the possession of marijuana paraphernalia.

Illinois became the third largest state to decriminalize minor marijuana possession offenses.

Illinois already allows the use of medical marijuana. Patients must possess a valid registry identification card to avoid arrest, prosecution or penalty. Children younger than 18 also have access to edible forms of cannabis with permission from a parent or guardian, a prescription from a primary care physician and a recommendation from another physician.

Recreational-use supporters are hoping to see new laws permitting the growing and consumption of cannabis in their state as well. State Rep. Ken Dunkin, D-Chicago, filed House Bill 4276, which would allow adults age 21 and older to legally grow and consume cannabis. The bill also would provide for licensed retailers, commercial growers and the private non-commercial production of cannabis.

One activist sees hope around the corner.

“I think a conversation will start happening next spring in the Illinois legislation,” said Dan Linn, executive director of the Illinois chapter

of the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws (NORML). “They are looking at the potential tax revenue that could be brought in, the amount of jobs created and the amount of investment dollars spent in Illinois.”

Website sheds light on state’s judges

A new judicial database website is putting a magnifying glass on Illinois’ judges.

Northwestern’s Pritzker School of Law created the website to provide a directory and profile of every elected and appointed judge in Illinois. The website includes basic information such as whether they were appointed or elected, as well as their party affiliation if it is listed. Senior lecturer Leigh Bienen said she hopes the site brings a new level of transparency to a branch of government not known for its transparency.

“Their salaries are paid by the state of Illinois,” she said. “We should be able to find out basic information about them.”

Bienen started the website because she couldn’t easily find information on judges involved in wrongful convictions. “What about these cases where there seemed to be so many people wrongfully convicted? What were those judges doing? Who were they?” she asked.

The site lists simple facts such as a judges’ sex and school from which they received their law degree, but it also lists where they worked prior to holding the judicial office. The database used codes to indicate if the judge was a public defender, private practice lawyer, or if they worked as a prosecutor.

Bienen said those categories could lend themselves to controversy, but the public deserves to be informed about their elected or appointed official’s background. “A particular judge who had previously been a state’s attorney. Is that damning? No, but it is still partisan,” she said.

The site only profiles judges in 2015, but Bienen said they may update it. She said she hopes that reporters and the public will educate themselves on who they are paying to interpret their state’s laws.

Long-time Chicago Alderman Ed Burke, in the site’s introduction page, called it a “comprehensive directory and profile of every elected and appointed jurist representing the Circuit Courts, the Appellate Division and the State Supreme Court of Illinois.”

The Illinois State Judges Website can be found at illinoisjudges.law.northwestern.edu/ index.html.

Become renewed at the Fair

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

cause it’s educational, interesting, applicable and regenerative. Why does IREA organize and present the Fair each year? Because we need the energizing influence and because we feel it’s the right thing to do.

From our home in the country, we can see the Milky Way. We hope that all people will have the same opportunity.

The 15th Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair will be held

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

A

s we enjoyed a moment of communion with the natural world watching a bee follow our “pet” hummingbird to the feeder, we are reminded that, according to recent National Public Radio program, our connection to nature is so broken that 80 percent of the world’s people and 99 percent of Europeans and North Americans cannot see that Milky Way. We have lost much in our quest for faster and easier. Last week, Earth Overshoot Day 2016 was reached. Humanity continues to use an entire year’s worth of the Earth’s productivity and assimilative capacity within just over seven months. Until the 1970s, we stayed within the Earth’s limits.

Now, we are taxing the Earth’s regenerative ability.

The concept of “Earth Overshoot is one of the reasons Illinois Renewable Energy Association (IREA) established the Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair. Using energy efficiency practices and renewable energy rather than fossil fuel is one way we can start to rebalance our system.

Leading sustainable lifestyles gets us still closer, encompassing all that we do in our daily lives including the use of clean energy.” (From the 2015 IREA column on Earth Overshoot.)

Can we return to ecological balance? The Fair offers options for changing our energy choices and many aspects of our lifestyles that can help us return at least part of the way. It’s a long journey, but we can make it if we try.

Workshops and exhibits will provide fairgoers with thought-provoking ideas to use in their own lives. Renewable energy was covered in several recent Rock River Times columns. Others are covered this week.

Energy-efficient housing, whether new or rehabbed, provide options for improving

our own homes. Doug McWain will present an idea that is gaining popularity: building a low-cost tiny house. Dave Kozlowski will help us consider how to use low energy cooling in our warming climate. Jim Hutchison will explain how to use an ancient technique, straw-clay construction, to provide naturally insulated buildings. Dirk Dypold will return after a brief break to discuss using the Earth’s natural insulating ability for geothermal heating and cooling.

Transportation, which is extremely energy intensive, will also be covered. Allen Penticoff and Jeff Green will clarify misconceptions about electric vehicles. Find out how to locate electric recharging stations.

Everyday activities in addition to food and gardening will help encourage visitors to try their hand at more sustainable living. Jill Horn Kohlert and Mary Gummow will provide means of cleaning with non-toxic products.

Jack and Judy Speer will provide a summary of their ecological approach to developing their homesite. In addition to renewable energy and lifestyles, Nick Head will lead people on a journey through their own perspectives on stewardship. Through exercises in personal inquiry, he will help the audience increase their awareness of the important venture – our commitment to the planet – of which we are all members.

Why should people come to the Fair? Be-

Saturday and Sunday at the Ogle County Fairgrounds in Oregon.

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

Raft Race back this Sunday R

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

OCKFORD – “Paddle like its 1999!”

So says one the the t-shirts for this Sunday’s Rock River Anything That Floats Race (RRATFR).

More 40 rafts have registered, and registration is even being accepted for kayakers, canoeists and SUPers on the day of the Race at Shorewood Park.

The captains’ meeting was held at the Prairie Street Brewhouse in the Peacock Room Monday at 6 p.m. with 57 people in attendance. Safety and inspection requirements were discussed along with the 10-team-member maximum for each raft. Several designs were shown to organizers who were very impressed by the design talent.

If you’d like to impress with a mod t-shirt for yourself or your bff, you may buy one with just a logo, or one tha says “Get your ship together,” by clicking on “STORE” at rratfr.com As it says at the store site, “Celebrate your Rockford-ness and love of our beautiful Rock River year ‘round! Order your official Rock River Anything That Floats Race t-shirts before the event and avoid lines at the merch table. We have four styles to choose from and they’re sure to be collectors items.

“Think ahead; these beauties will make awesome holiday or birthday gifts. And, best of all, when you buy, you’re supporting the return of an iconic summer event as well as the following charities: Rockford Fourth of July and Holiday Lighting, the Rock River Trail Initiative and the Ski Broncs.

“Quantities are limited. Order today!”

On the day of the race, Toni’s of Winnebago, Frank’s Italian Ice, Lulu’s Roasted Corn, Bamboo, Java Mania, AnJan’s Eats and other vendors will line the bike path between Symbol and the Whitman Street Bridge. Bouncy Houses will be provided by the YMCA for the kids, and the Nicholas Conservatory will be open to the public.

What else will you see? To get an idea of what will be coming down the river, take a look at the website, rratfr.com to see the self-powered creativity of the 1990’s. Rock River rafts for the race came in form of the Space Shuttle – complete with space-walking astronaut – a gondola; a giant duck; the Budweiser Beer Wagon – complete with horses – a dragon; a giant carp; a banana boat; a forklift; a bi-plane; a helicopter; a stick of butter; a turtle; a waffle; a toy truck; the Bat Raft; a bus; and yes, even Noah’s Ark and the Titanic – complete with deadly

Rockford Rocked talks with 96.7’s McCarthy

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

R

ockford Rocked Interview: Most people know you as the afternoon DJ at the radio station 96.7 The Eagle.

You’re also a Chicago native. Tell us about how you got to Rockford.

Kevin McCarthy: I worked in Chicago and the suburbs holding various positions in the radio business from announcing, producing, production and chief bottle washer at numerous stations. I also programmed adult contemporary music and yes, easy listening – or better known in circles as “elevator music” – for a major syndication company in which was then distributed to stations throughout the country. Back in 1990 and ’91 I didn’t have a girlfriend at the time but had the radio bug, as it’s called – meaning you live and breathed the radio and music industries.

Fast forward to 1998, due to my full-time job which was NOT in radio at that time, I was able work from my home handling advertising for a business trade publication as my company didn’t mind where I lived. So knowing the affordability of Rockford (not going to escape the taxes) I moved out to the Forest City. Oh yea, I then got back in the biz working Saturday afternoons at Oldies 95.3 which was owned by Radio Works.

RRI: You have a vast knowledge of classic rock bands and a lot of worthless information that dates back to the stone age. Does that just come from years of listing and reading album liner notes, or were you just always a music nerd (like myself)?

KM: That’s a big part of it. I loved reading album covers and inserts that accompanied them. I tend to feel that you have to have that passion for whatever you do in life that brings you enjoyment or helps you in your career to learn all you can no matter how minuscule it may be. The more you know, the better person you are while sharing your knowledge with others.

RRI: What’s the best thing about being a DJ at a classic rock station?

KM: One of the main factors is the music. Saying that, it’s the Eagle staff that consists of da’ Bossman Captain Jack who also handles afternoons, The First Lady of The Eagle, Lori in the midday along with the weekend/fill-in crew: Johnny Walker, Jackson and Robo. They’re great peeps as we all bring our own unique personality to the station. This in addition to all the other cool cats at our sister stations 97ZOK, Q98.5 and 1440 WROK. We’re all a fun crowd that enjoys meeting our listeners.

RRI: Alright, if Mr. Bossman came in one day and said, “Kevin, today we are going to

let you play any artist you choose during your on air shift as long as it’s one of these: Celtic Woman, Limp Bizkit, Yoko Ono or Metallica’s St. Anger album... over and over and over again.” Which do you choose and why?

KM: Celtic Woman. I’m a fan of Irish music on a whole. I’ve seen them perform a few times and they always put on a sensational show. The talent these lovely ladies bring to the stage is truly amazing. The group’s lineup has changed throughout the years but they continue to maintain their traditional form. Sliante’.

RRI: What? No Yoko? (laughs) Hmm...

Okay then. I understand you just recently unloaded a huge record collection that you have been hanging onto for years. Thoughts?

KM: In life it seems that nothing really stays the same except change, it was simply time to downsize quite a bit. These records brought me so much enjoyment as many had stories of how I acquired them. Some of those records, mainly the jazz ones, unfortunately came to my possession at a lost of a loved one who was like a second father to me. Boy did

he love jazz and big band which I’m also a fan of. I still have lots of 45s but I’ll be parting with those soon. I’ll hang on to a few records, mainly the ones that have sentimental value.

I still crank up my Victrolas from time to time playing a 78 by Harry James or from an unknown artist dating back to the 1930s.

RRI: Tell me about Rockford’s Midway Village and how you got involved with the whole World War II reenactments.

KM: My father served three years during World War II as a Seaman 1st Class in the Navy covering both the Pacific and European theaters of operation. He asked my grandma to lie saying he was 17; he was only 15. Instead of riding a bike my dear ole dad was learning how to work a turret on Liberty Ships. He passed away in 2000. Like most returning from the war, they simply wanted to get their lives back in order and didn’t talk much about what their duties were, some of the places they’ve been and the sadness they saw.

One day on my way out from grocery shopping at Walmart, I noticed these cans at

the end of all of the conveyor belts. On the cans it said something such as “donate to the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC.” I honestly thought we had a Memorial for our WWII Veterans but we didn’t. Needless to say, I said to myself and others that I simply needed to educate those who don’t know about these ladies and gents and how can I get involved. So I signed up for the war effort by becoming a Charter Member for the National WWII Memorial (wwiimemorial.com) raising funds and was honored to attend the dedication on the National Mall. What an event it was. This year at Midway Village and Museum WWII Day’s will be the weekend of September 24 and 25.

RRI: Who was your favorite DJ to listen to on 89 WLS while growing up?

KM: Without a doubt, John Records Landecker. Others that made an impression on me at WLS were Jeff Davis and Yvonne Daniels.

RRI: Who would win in an arm wrestling contest, former Cub’s outfielder Andre Dawson or former Sox first basemen Frank Thomas?

KM: Andre Dawson!

RRI: Favorite place to go to watch a band play in Rockford?

KM: We’re all so fortunate to have a solid selection to choose from in and around Rockford to see live music, grab a great burger or simply to kick back. However, I would have to say Mary’s Place. Not only are the drinks cheap, the talent is the finest but the history and the people you meet from all walks of life who show up there really makes it for me.

The stories I hear from those who visited it 60 years ago to today I relish as I love history.

RRI: Favorite cooking show to watch on a Saturday afternoon while drinking a cold Old Style beer?

KM: I enjoy watching Giada De Laurentiis; Cooks Country; Lidia Bastianich; and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

RRI: Harry Caray or Steve Stone?

KM: Harry Caray. I met him several times as a kid when he was the key announcer for the White Sox. The games aired on WSNSTV Channel 44 in Chicago. Oh how, I miss “original” Comiskey Park.

RRI: Okay Kevin, last question. What’s the one thing you would change about Rockford if you could?

KM: In explaining to those that live here that basically our city is not a bad place to live. Yes, we have problems but there are good and bad sections in municipalities large or small who have same or similar problems.

I tend to compare Rockford to Chicago in a sense of we have everything they do but on a smaller scale.

Singin’ in the Rain makes big splash at Fireside

By Bill Beard Contributor

S

ingin’ in the Rain, the movie, came out in 1952, starring the fabulous Gene Kelly, a young Debbie Reynolds, and the wonderful Donald O’Conner. It has been rereleased a dozen times over the years and is still on the lists of “best movie musicals ever made” year after year. I was a junior in college that year, and I think I saw that film several times. Kelly’s famous performance of the title song, while dancing in a downpour, is still one of the most famous scenes from film history, and you’ll find it today in several versions on YouTube! Check it out.

But it was 30 years before the movie was made into a stage musical. Singin’ in the Rain, the musical, has been around since 1983, and has become a much loved musical comedy.

However, as it happens, I have never reviewed it. In fact, I’ve never even seen it! I almost hate to admit that. After all, it opened at the famous Paladium Theatre in London’s West End in June of 1983 while I was actually living and teaching theatre in England; and it starred one of my favorite British musical comedy stars, Tommy Steele.

Then it opened on Broadway in July of 1985 when I was living back in New England and visiting New York City several times a year. And I still didn’t see it.

Now let me further confess that in the past 30 years since then, it has probably been playing somewhere near me dozens of times.

But no. Sorry. I never connected. Now that is a very serious confession for a theatre critic who has been reviewing professional theatre for the better part of 45 years!

But now….at last….I have had the opportunity to make up for my negligence!

And what a great opportunity it has been.

The Fireside Theatre’s current production of Comden and Green’s Singin’ in the Rain, the musical is a hit. It lives up to most of Artistic Director Ed Flesch’s shows; and this is truly a perfect audience pleaser.

The singing voices are special and the dancing terrific. Well, it has to be! Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor highlighted their dance careers with the original movie; and here at The Fireside, Matthew Dailey, in the Gene Kelly role as silent movie star Don Lockwood and Justin Brill as his comic sidekick, Cosmo Brown, keep the Fireside production at the top of the tap dance tradition, from their opening routine, Fit as a Fiddle, in exaggerated Vaudeville style (and absolutely ridiculous costumes), to their big number, Moses, a show stopping tap extravaganza (with the very talented Thomas Blake Hogan making it a tap dancing trio triumph). These

Matthew Dailey as Don Lockwood as he’s Singin’ in the Rain.

guys can dance!

Dailey also sings well. He has a gorgeous voice; although at times it seems to reflect some classical training, and his lyrics sometimes are almost too ‘articulate’. He manages the ‘lover’ side of Lockwood very convincingly, but physically, his macho quality was

probably better suited to his prior work in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

The role of Cosmo Brown (O’Connor in the film) is adeptly handled by the energetic Justin Brill, whose marvelous sense of comedy I remember loving in Fireside’s 2008 production of How to Succeed in

Business Without Really Trying. His effervescence is contagious, and although he slightly over does his first couple of scenes, he is solid and right on target throughout the rest of the show.

The distaff side of the cast is peopled with some terrific actresses, starting with an ensemble of four beautiful singer-dancers, who handle multiple roles throughout.

The Debbie Reynolds role of “trying to break into Broadway” Kathy Selden is expertly played by the charming Gabrielle Harker in her Fireside debut; she easily keeps pace with Mr. Dailey and Mr. Brill in the extensive dance trios.

But the real scene-stealer is the marvelous Abby Hart as Lina Lamont, the screechyvoiced silent-screen mega-star, who is determined to follow her matinee idol partner (Lockwood) right into their new career in Hollywood’s latest innovation, the Talkies!

Ms. Hart turns this too often one-dimensional character into a multi-faceted hilarious comic bitch. She‘s wonderful. [She also has the figure to do justice to the stunning costumes of Robert Fletcher and Robin Buerger.]

Of course anyone who knows this show looks forward to the big Act I closing number, the piece de resistance, Lockwood’s dancing in the rain. One might wonder how Director Flesch could manage that on the Fireside’s small central stage space. But never fear!

You’ll love it!

As usual, the production depends greatly on the quality of the choreography and the music; and as always, this show is blessed with the Musical Direction of Mary Ehlinger and the Choreography of Chicago’s Shanna Vanderwerker.

Obviously, I am thrilled to have….at last…. had this chance to enjoy the stage musical version of one of my favorite films, Singin’ in the Rain. And I assure you I won’t miss the next opportunity.

As it happens, a brand new production of Singin’ in the Rain, the musical is coming to Broadway soon. It will be starring the extremely popular star of Dancing With The Stars, Derek Hough, who has been Mirror Ball winner several times. This is a new production which was originated in Paris last year at the famous Theatre du Chatelet and is now being brought to New York by Broadway producer, Harvey Weinstein. I’m sure it will eventually come to Chicago on tour.

Meanwhile, The Fireside’s own current production of Singin’ in the Rain is definitely a “feel good” family show; and is not to be missed! It plays through September 4. For details call 800-477-9505 or visit firesidetheatre.com.

Tube Talk: Actual factual political chat

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

T

here comes a time in every presidential election where party rhetoric and PAC-funded attack ads really start to frustrate open-minded voters who prefer facts over hyperbole so they can make informed decisions come election day.

Unfortunately that’s something most cable news shows seem unable to provide as the same handful of spin doctors and candidate supporters are on live TV dodging anchors’ questions and talking over one another to regurgitate dubious “facts” they hope will sway viewers to their respective sides.

If you’re looking for a non-partisan, factbased dissection of political news, don’t miss Matter of Fact with Fernando Espuelas. The national, weekly, half-hour talk show airs locally on MyTV Sunday mornings at 8:30.

I’ve interviewed Espuelas a couple of times in the past year, and admire his way of making sense of – and often poking holes in – complex and over-hyped political arguments.

“We want to make information understandable in a larger context,” Espuelas told me a few months back. “How does whatever the topic may be impact the United States?

How does it impact families? How does it impact the future of this country?”

All guests, high-ranking or not, are held to the same standard.

“The whole concept of Matter of Fact is that we scrutinize information through empirical data,” he said. “We scrutinize the facts. So if someone comes on the program and states something that is objectively wrong – by which I mean it can be proved to be false – we will not hesitate to correct that, whether it happens during the interview or in an information box we’ll put underneath in

post-production.”

Espuelas isn’t afraid to challenge his guests’ statements.

“If I know something to be objectively false, I will correct it. For many politicians, that is anathema – you’re picking on them, you’re picking a fight, you’re being pugnacious – when in reality you’re doing your job. You’re not there to be a megaphone

for someone’s personal view of reality. I’m fighting for my audience. I’m making sure the information that gets on the air is interesting, fresh, but also factually correct.”

Even better? Unlike some political talk shows, Espuelas doesn’t give guests his questions in advance. While he researches the guest and topic in advance, he allows the conversation to unfold organically.

That reduces the odds of a politician or spokesperson answering in sound bites or rehearsed answers.

“My mission isn’t to make this person say this or that. My mission is to inform my audience,” he said. As for guests’ comments, “I may or may not agree with them, but I have to play the role of a healthy skeptic.”

When watching the primary debates earlier this year, Espuelas said he grew tired of hearing politicians implying that America is weak, be it economically or militarily. He then rattled off facts disproving some candidates’ statements before saying, “Can we just use math to see if those claims are true or not?”

Common sense. Math. Facts. Three things that sum up Matter of Fact.

Programming Note

Matter of Fact with Fernando Espuelas airs Sunday mornings at 8:30 on MyTV. Online: matteroffact.tv.

Pete’s Dragon an average entry for Disney

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

W

alt Disney Pictures returns to live action with a remake of their 1977 children’s film, Pete’s Dragon. Rather than produce a faithful remake, David Lowery’s film is loosely based on the original. The setting is updated from the early 1900s to the 1980s with the musical element dropped entirely in favor of a straightforward dramatic story.

While embarking on a road trip, Pete and his family are involved in a tragic car accident which proves fatal for his parents.

Alone in the wilderness, Pete soon finds himself on the menu of a wolf pack, however his savior comes in the form of a large green dragon. Six years have passed and Pete (Oakes Fegley) has been living in the wild with his new friend who he has christened Elliot (vocal effects by John Kassir).

His blissful existence is soon thrown into disarray when he is discovered by the local

townsfolk including forest ranger Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard).

The original version of Pete’s Dragon failed to be the commercial and critical hit that Disney hoped it would be. The film endured over the years thanks to its animated character and musical score. The remake doesn’t have the latter, but it does have an instantly memorable dragon who is adorable while magnificently animated. Elliot is stunning to look at with great detail given to producing a realistic looking creature that’s still cute enough for kids to be drawn towards.

The live action cast boasts Howard, Karl Urban, Wes Bentley and Robert Redford.

All give decent performances with Urban portraying Gavin, a hunter and the closest the film has to a bad guy. Gavin is selfish to a degree but not a villain by any means.

He’s a byproduct of the overly schmaltzy tone that the film suffers. Not that Pete’s Dragon should be a gritty reboot, it’s just

that Disney is known for child-friendly villains and Gavin is too pleasant. The absence of a dislikable antagonist makes it more difficult to root for our heroes.

Despite the wonderful production, there is an unmistakable TV movie feel about it.

There is a blandness to the second act as the film reaches a plateau of amiability. The absence of threat, no matter how mild, prevents any real sense of adventure building.

Thankfully the third act ups the stakes and our heroes find themselves in enough peril to get behind them. Fegley is great in the role and creates a great chemistry against his animated counterpart. The final set piece showcases some stunning work from the effects team with Lowery ramping up the excitement in the last ten minutes, not forgetting to pluck some heartstrings before the credits role.

Pete’s Dragon is an average entry to Disney’s pantheon of work although it isn’t without its moments. The lull around the mid-part takes

some shaking but the exhilarating chase scene towards the end makes for a congenial tale, even if it is missing that spark.

Performances are August 11-13 and 18-20 at 7:30 p.m. and August 14 & 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets and information are available online at stagecoachers.com or by calling 815-758-1940.

Gaslight - Timber Lake Playhouse, the professional summer theatre of northwest Illinois, presents the acclaimed psychological thriller, Gaslight, through August 21. The production is the sixth and final in the company’s 55th summer mainstage season. The play, by Patrick Hamilton, was so popular, it gave rise to the term “gaslighting,” with its story of a husband who presents his wife with false information to make her doubt her own memory in regard to unexplained disappearances from their home. Mrs. Manningham believes that each time her husband leaves, the lights in house grow dimmer. An inspector arrives with answers as to whether the “gaslighting” is real or all in Mrs. Manningham’s mind.

Tickets for Gaslight are $17-$25 dollars and may be purchased at timberlakeplayhouse.org or by calling 815-244-2035. The playhouse is located at 8215 Black Oak Road in rural Mount Carroll.

Tuesday, August 23 Genetic and Fertility Screening - The Advanced Reproductive Center in Rockford is currently 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.

For more information please contact Gayle Driscoll at the Advanced Reproductive Center to register at gdriscoll@fertilitydoc.net or visit advancedreproductivecenter.com.

Visitor spending reaches record high in region VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Rockford and Winnebago County continues to see an increase in tourism spending expenditures reaching $349.91 million in 2015, a 3 percent increase over the prior year’s record setting numbers, according to data released by the Illinois Department of Commerce’s Office of Tourism.

“Bolstered by the continued success of our sports tourism industry and the continued growth we are seeing from our leisure tourism partners such as Discovery Center Museum and Anderson Japanese Gardens, I am pleased to see visitor spending continue to rise,” said John Groh, president/CEO of the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Locally, tax revenue from tourism reached $5.9 million, a 6 percent increase over the prior year. In addition, the local tourism and hospitality industry employment increased 4 percent to 2,810 jobs.

“We are delighted to see such strong results again this year for the tourism economy in Winnebago County,” said RACVB Board Chair Roberta Holzwarth.

“Sustained economic growth is crucial as we transform our region. The RACVB Board knows that the more we invest in our community to make it a dynamic destination, and the more we work to promote and market our destination, the greater our returns will be.”

The Illinois Office of Tourism announced that the tourism industry as a whole in Illinois achieved continued growth in 2015, with expenditures topping $37 billion, a 2.6 percent increase from 2014. In addition, the industry created over 10,000 new jobs in 2015, a 3.5 percent increase from 2014. The jobs and revenue generated by Illinois tourism industry supports local communities and the growth of Illinois’ economy.

“Illinois has something for everyone to enjoy, from world-class museums and galleries, historic sites, a rich cultural arts community to professional sports, outdoor recreation and beautiful vistas,” said Cory M. Jobe, Director of the Office of Tourism. “Our tourism and hospitality industry are Illinois’ greatest champions, drawing not only new visitors, but repeat travelers as well, in order to support and grow our local economies.”

“With the UW Health Sports Factory now online and the advancements that have been made at Mercy Sportscore 2, the local tourism industry is poised for continued success in the years to come,” said Groh. “In addition, we continue to see the reinvestments being made in Rockford’s downtown core and the ripple effect that is having on our local events and attractions such as Rockford City Market, which is seeing record breaking numbers of its own this summer.”

Thank you, from the Pec River Cleanup

The Annual Pecatonica River Clean Up is one of the largest conservation efforts in Northern Illinois, and United Sportsmen’s Youth Foundation volunteers cleaned a 100 mile stretch of the Pecatonica River from the Wisconsin border to Rockton on Sunday, July 31.

River Clean is an annual event that is held to not only clean up the Pec River of rubbish but also to teach kids the importance of conservation practices. This year the emphasis was cleaning up log jams that made the river non-navigable which 100 volunteers both in the river and on land achieved. Other trash was also retrieved in the river which was swollen due to recent rains. This year, only seven tires were pulled out of the river which is much improved over the 160 tires that were retrieved last year.

There were several special awards given to recognize those River Warrior volunteers who help to make the River Clean a success.

The team who retrieved the most tonnage was made up of Mike Callos, Art Ross, Ken Groeling, Mia Hilton, Ron Arnold, Brendan Walsh. The Ground Crew of Bill Hawkins and Chris Holden also did a great job. This team collected 20,000 pounds which included old boat docks. Frank Schier from the Rock River Times was awarded the Largest Haul of Trash for a single canoe. The Wild Scheider Bunch received the Pulled Muscle award for their efforts in pulling out a mud filled TV. The Fred Holden Family received the award for the Most Family Members who joined together and cut log jams. The team who retrieved the Most Garbage of 4 loads was made up of Nicole and Katie Walsh and Megan Wellman.

Honorable mention went to Scott Johnson, the Rob Lincoln Family and Joe Gempler for opening the log jams down by Brown Mill; Jerry from Extreme Marine, Dave Grider and Brenda Peterson who cleaned the stretch near Wisconsin.

A huge thank you to the other River Warriors who graciously volunteered their time for this effort. Thank you to the sponsors who helped us make this event happen: Gold Sponsors – USYF, Rock Hollow Conserva-

tion Club, FHN, Furst McNess, Kar Korner and Rock River Times – Frank Schier; Silver Sponsors – Bill Hawkins, Freeport City Hall, Friends of the Pec, Heck Family, Holden Family, Logans Bar, Pat Brown Realtors, Ross Auto Glass, Union Dairy, Walsh Girls Cattle, Scheider Family and Dan and Brandy Avey.

Check out the full list of River Warriors on Facebook and at USYF.org.

Donations of cash, canoes, old Jon boats and motors are also being accepted. This year, there were 20 volunteers turned away because we didn’t have canoes and boats for them. We are hoping to have donations prior our next upkeep River Clean which is being planned for Labor Day weekend. If anyone is interested in helping donating, please contact the United Sportsmen’s Youth Foundation at 815-599-5690.

Oregon volunteers needed for Rock Sweep

The Eighth Annual Oregon Area Rock River Sweep will be held on Saturday, September 10 from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Check in will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Kiwanis Park, behind Conover Square, at the intersection of North Second Street and Franklin Street.

Volunteers are needed on foot or in boats to clean up a seven mile section of the Rock River, from the boat landing on IL Rt. 2 to Castle Rock State Park boat landing, in this annual effort to protect and preserve this beautiful local resource. Boaters, paddlers, river land owners, scout groups, service organizations and individuals are needed to help pick up trash as well as sort the recyclable items from the trash. Students can earn community service hours by helping out.

This year, White Pelican Canoe & Kayak Rental Inc., will be providing a limited number of canoes for use in the effort and will also provide free shuttle service from Castle Rock boat landing back to Kiwanis Park for those with their own canoes or kayaks. In addition, volunteers from Oregon Together will be helping with the event.

All participants are asked to check in at the Kiwanis Park, where they will be assigned to a section of the river to focus on. Those with motorized boats can then proceed to the boat landings to cover their section. Those on foot will walk or drive to areas accessible from shore. Several drop-off sites for trash will be located along the cleanup route, where crews from the Oregon Park District, Ogle County Highway Department and the Solid Waste Management Department will pick it up and take it back to Kiwanis Park for sorting and recycling. Refreshments will be

available afterward.

Gloves, safety vests, trash bags, bug spray, snacks and water will be available, as well as a limited number of T-shirts for sale or for free. Participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves, long pants, and old shoes, and to bring a reusable water bottle to the event to reduce waste.

The Rock River Sweep is an effort by many groups up and down the Rock River, from Horicon Wisconsin to where it meets the Mississippi River, to clean up sections of the river. It is sponsored

by RockRiverSweep.org, a grass roots, non-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries. Other sponsors include the Rock River Trail Initiative and The Rock River Times.

Locally, the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep is also sponsored by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management, Highway and Sheriff ’s Departments, the Oregon Park District, Oregon Together, White Pelican Canoe & Kayak Rental, and American Rivers National River Cleanup.

21st Annual Honor the Mounds shines at Beattie

By Susan Johnson Contributor

Gray clouds in the morning turned into bright sunshine by afternoon, Saturday at the 21st Annual Honor the Mounds at Beattie Park. Native tribes and visitors gathered once again to celebrate the heritage of our section of Rock River.

Attendees were welcomed by Master of Ceremonies Butch McCamy. Elder Terry “Standing Buffalo” Reynolds offered an opening prayer in Lakota.

The flags of the U.S., Illinois, POW/MIA and Native American Awareness Committee were carried in procession. A dance to honor our veterans followed; then Grandfather Nichols presented commemorative coins to veterans, followed by intertribal dancing and a round dance.

John and Penny Richmond, Lakota head male and female dancers, were introduced.

Penny spread out a blanket in the circle, and toys were placed on it for the children to come out and claim one after a dance. The rule was, they could not take a toy until after the dance had stopped.

Origin of the flute

Len Badillo (Ute) honored the eagles. When he was young, he had a dream about a white horse and later a red horse. He was riding to catch the eagle. He sang a song and played a hand drum and a native flute.

“We always try to play from our hearts,” he said. “There is a story about the first flute. A brave had his eyes on the chief ’s daughter. She didn’t need anything, so it was hard to impress her. He planned how he might win her heart.

“One day he saw a 12-point buck. He thought if he could catch that deer and bring it to her, she would notice, and he could win her heart. He went out at first light to stalk it, but he stepped on a stick, and the buck lifted his head and took off.

The brave took off running after him. He came to a little creek, which the deer jumped over. He thought he could make it, but he wasn’t able to

get over all the way. He watched as the buck got away. The brave decided to set up camp there.

While he was sleeping, a woodpecker came and said it would show him the way to win her heart. The brave awoke with the woodpecker on his chest.

“He followed the woodpecker, who took him all the way to a ridge with a cedar tree. One of the branches had some holes in it. When the wind came, it made a beautiful sound. He said, ‘Wow! That’s the breath of the Creator. I’ve got to have that branch.’ He climbed the tree and got the branch but know what to do with it. He went to his grandfather and told him the story about chasing the buck. Grandfather said, ‘You have to go up on the hill and fast for four days and ask the Creator what to do.’

“That’s what he did; he fasted and prayed. The woodpecker came back and showed him how to space the holes and put the bird on the top. This was his medicine bird. He practiced with the flute and listened to the wind blowing through the trees, and the trickling creek running down.

He watched the little animals like the squirrels and saw the joy. You can’t make the sound of the four directions, the wind in the trees, or the trickling creek. But you can remember it and make it come from your heart.

“He practiced and prayed. One day he was chopping wood. He took a nap, and the woodpecker came back and said, ‘You are ready. Go and win the chief ’s daughter’s heart.’ At first light he went behind the tipi and started playing. The girl woke up, saw the brave standing there, took a blanket and wrapped it around him. They got married and had 10 kids. The elder said, ‘You have to be careful where you play this flute because it is good love medicine.’

“Each flute has a different voice,” said Badillo.

“Not a key but how it makes you feel in your heart. Each key makes your heart feel a little different.”

He then demonstrated with some different flutes. “The bigger the diameter, the lower the tone of voice. The smaller the diameter, the higher the voice. If you close your eyes and

listen with your heart, you will hear it.”

The tip of the flute is called the “birdie,” where the air comes in, is compressed, and you get the tone as it comes through. Badillo and Grandpa Terry were talking about keys.

Everything has a voice – trees, water, stones.

The vibration of Mother Earth is F-sharp. He was told that the NAAC in Rockford has a drum circle that meets once a month; they also have a flute circle. People are invited to come to the flute circle and learn how to play.

Badillo then played a tiny flute that had a high A that he said would attract birds. He had another flute called a drone. Sometimes you see two flutes put together; he had one that was split in top and bottom layers.

‘Hoo’ Haven animal exhibit

Karen Herdklotz, executive director of “Hoo” Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, had several animals on display. The red-tailed hawk, Samantha, is about 14 years old. She came to “Hoo” Haven as an adult; she had been flying and clipped her wing on an electric line. A pin was put in the wing, but she can only fly about 3 feet off the ground and cannot be released.

She has good hearing and eyesight with three eyelids that move sideways.

Also on display was Matava, a 24-year-old turkey vulture, and Pumella, a leopard tortoise that is 27 years old. Herdklotz noted that the problem with raptors is that we have taken away much of their habitat. We cut down trees and build houses. A few trees and wild spaces should be saved for raptors to live.

“Hoo” Haven has one bald eagle at their facility near Durand. They have helped 65 eagles so far. This is the only regional wildlife rehabilitation facility within 85 miles.

gave presentations about women’s teachings.

Reynolds noted that approximately 250 native tribes are recognized by the U.S. Government. Natives can sometimes seem aloof to others because they don’t always tell what is happening. They live in the here and now without planning ahead.

There are two numbers that are special numbers to Native Americans o-- 7 and 4.

Seven is for the seven directions. Four is also of directional significance.

Terry Reynolds was wearing a red shirt that said “Sundance” on it, honoring Mother Earth. He passed out friendship bracelets that can also be used as bookmarks. They are made of macrame thread and come in seven colors.

Black is the color of the west, where life begins, from water. Red is for endurance and the blood of life. Yellow stands for people entering from the east, where the sun rises, giving warmth.

The last color is white. When we become old, we lose the color in our hair, and our skin becomes translucent, and we become spirits.

Three more colors are blue for the sky, green for Mother Earth, and purple for our heart, because it is the center.

Juanita MacVenn spoke about four plants that hold special significance for Native Americans: tobacco, sage, sweetgrass and cedars.

Meeting a buffalo

P, A. Toms (“Autumns Fall” – Cherokee) had some of his furs and artifacts on display. He shared a story of a time in 1963 when he was working on a ranch in Evergreen, Colorado.

“While we were mending fences that day, it was hot and the grass was about 3 feet high.

Things were just fantastic – nice breeze and sunny. We fished for trout in the morning, at noon, and for supper. But that day we were working hard. My buddy looked up, gave me a whistle, and there was this big old buffalo. I looked over, and he was a big boy with a hump, about 7-8 feet tall. Big and heavy – just a huge, beautiful specimen of an animal.

“There were two of them just moseying down, eating grass. We didn’t stay long. You don’t mess with them; they have an attitude.

We finished with the fence. We looked up our bus jack, who had arms like ham hocks. He was a blacksmith at one time. We told him about that buffalo.

“He said, ‘That’s the remnant of the original herd of the 1800s.’ By 1900 there were only about 120 of them left. Somebody else had 200.

But I do know that he was gorgeous standing there. We just left him alone.”

Some of the furs Toms had on display included black bear (adult and baby); brain-tanned deerskins; elkskins; fox; skunk and cowhide.

Check back next week for more highlights from this year’s Honor the Mounds celebration.

Commentary

Rauner’s election spending ramps up

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

A

n organization controlled by Gov. Bruce Rauner has spent a million dollars on a new television ad promoting legislative term limits in a little over a week. And that’s just for starters.

Turnaround Illinois Inc. is one of those “dark money” non-profit groups that doesn’t have to disclose its donors. It has so far booked $1,015,084 in broadcast, satellite and cable TV ads. The group purchased $684,455 in broadcast TV ads scheduled to run Aug. 5 through Aug. 14. The biggest chunk of the money, $344,850, was spent on very expensive Chicago broadcast TV spots. All the ad buys are expected to be renewed.

Gov. Rauner’s TV ad features several “real people” talking about the need for term limits. Rauner has also set up a website where folks can “sign” an electronic petition supporting the idea. One of the people appearing in the ad exhorts watchers to help them get “a million signatures.”

Before the ads appeared, Rauner spent several days touring the state demanding that House and Senate Democrats come back after the election and pass a term-limits constitutional amendment, which wouldn’t be voted on by the public until 2018. Rauner himself appears at the end of the ad to say, “Let’s all sign the term limits petition. Go to FixIllinois.com.”

Yes, the issue is pretty much solely political and more than a bit phony. Even if the legislature passed a term-limits proposal this November (and it won’t), the limits wouldn’t actually get in front of voters for two more years and then wouldn’t start limiting terms for another 10 years. By that time, House Speaker Madigan will be 86 years old, and he could still run for a state Senate seat. But, hey, the House Democrats are notorious for using federal issues like Medicare and Social Security in state legislative races, so, whatever.

It is what it is.

Rauner’s group also paid $130,820 for St. Louis broadcast television, even though most

of those viewers live in Missouri. Illinois candidates often skip St. Louis broadcast entirely or wait until late in the game to air any ads because they aren’t very cost-efficient. You always know somebody has big bucks to throw around when they go up on St. Louis TV, and it’s practically unheard-of in early August.

The Rauner organization also plunked down $32K for broadcast ads in the Champaign-Springfield-Decatur market; $73K in the Quad Cities (where Democratic Rep. Mike Smiddy is attempting to hold onto his seat), $57K in the already crowded (with state legislative ads) Paducah, Ky., market, $21K in Quincy and $25K in Peoria.

In addition, Rauner has dumped $207,000 on satellite TV ads through Aug. 25 and appears to have added to his initial $21,989 cable TV buy with $101,640 more through Aug. 14. The cable buy locations line up with suburban and Downstate Democratic legisla-

tive districts that Rauner’s political organization has targeted.

So, what is going on here? First and foremost, Rauner needs to improve his own polling numbers, both for his 2018 re-election and, more immediately, so his involvement can be of some use to his Republican legislative candidates this fall.

A recent poll conducted for Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth’s U.S. Senate campaign found that Rauner’s job approval rating was just 37 percent, with a disapproval of 55 percent. “He’s been sitting around there for all of 2016, so opinions are hardening,” said a source familiar with the poll’s findings.

Rauner’s people counter with their own poll numbers, which they say have Rauner’s approve/disapprove rating at 44-49.

Either way, Rauner has to start moving numbers his direction to have a positive impact on this year’s election. The term-lim-

its issue polls off the charts in this state, so firmly attaching himself to the proposal in an unprecedented and sustained advertising buy will likely help. 78 percent supported the idea in a February poll taken by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.

The information-gathering aspect of this term-limits push also can’t be ignored.

Rauner has reportedly put his trusted lieutenant Chip Englander in charge of his data project. All his legislative races are gathering lots of data and it’s being pooled in one spot.

Building on Rauner’s 2014 race, and adding this year’s data (including from those who sign up online for the term-limits pledge) the Illinois GOP could be “among the nation’s elite in data” for 2018, predicted a Republican insider. “Maybe the top.”

And regardless of which poll is accurate, he’s gonna need every bit of help he can muster, both this year and during the next cycle.

Why don’t we fund our national parks to the extent we value them?

By Linda J. Bilmes & John Loomis The Conversation

O

ne of the quirks of government accounting is that our nation’s most valuable assets – from aircraft carriers to interstate highways – don’t appear on any national balance sheet.

In part this is because it is hard to put a value on them. How can we calculate the worth of the Washington Monument? And yet, without such a yardstick, it is hard to calibrate just how much money we should spend to maintain and replenish these precious assets over long periods of time.

America’s national parks – often called “America’s best idea” – are a prime example.

The National Park Service (NPS), which manages the park system, celebrates its 100th birthday this summer. From Yellowstone to Ellis Island, the 412 places that NPS protects tell America’s story.

But what are they worth?

Past attempts to answer this question have typically focused on how much money visitors spend in or around the parks. But that is only a small part of the story. In particular, it doesn’t account for people who don’t visit the parks, but who nevertheless treasure the iconic scenery and want America’s historic battlefields, wildlife habitats and finest seashores to be protected.

In a study released this month and conducted independently of the National Park Service, we sought to develop the first-ever comprehensive assessment of what the parks are worth to the public. We calculated that Americans put a total value of $92 billion per year on our national parks, monuments, seashores and recreation areas. However, what we also concluded is that we are not funding the park system at a level that reflects its value.

Why calculate the parks’ worth?

This project responds to the 2009 report of the Second Century Commission, a group of prominent scientists, historians, legislators and conservationists that considered how to ensure that the national parks thrive over the next century. The commission called for full government funding for NPS, but also recommended creating an endowment to help the agency survive flat or declining federal appropriations.

To lay the groundwork for new funding approaches, we needed to establish a baseline for the true economic value of the park system. This had never been done before.

Using methods similar to the way federal agencies analyze proposed regulations, we conducted a peer-reviewed economic study to estimate what the national parks are worth to Americans. We asked a representative sample of more than 700 households how much they would pay in increased taxes to preserve those assets for themselves and their grandchildren.

Our results showed that Americans put a total value of $92 billion per year on our national parks, monuments, seashores and recreation areas. This represents the amount respondents would pay to preserve the parks ($62 billion) and their programs ($30 billion) – whether they actually visit the parks or not. Ninety-five percent said that protecting national parks for future generations was important, and 81 percent were willing to pay higher federal taxes to ensure that the park system was protected and preserved.

Our estimated value is actually a conservative figure, for several reasons. First, we calculated a value only for the percentage of U.S. households who returned the survey.

Those who didn’t respond were assumed to place zero value on the parks – even though our post-survey test showed that most of the nonrespondents simply didn’t have time to fill out a long questionnaire.

We chose the most conservative approach in terms of methodology, weighting of the sample and handling responses from people who opposed paying higher taxes on principle.

We also excluded some park benefits which fall into the category of “public goods.” For example, trees in the parks store large amounts of carbon and absorb pollutants from soil and water. We have studied these topics separately using different methodologies.

One surprising finding is that the

public cares a lot about programs that the National Park Service runs, such as teaching kids about nature, developing teacher curriculum materials and interpreting historical events. In recent years NPS has devoted enormous time and resources to educational efforts, such as the “Every Kid in A Park” initiative, which aims to bring every fourth grader in the United States to a national park. NPS is also broadening its historical interpretation services to reflect the diversity of our population and experiences of groups such as African-Americans, Latinos/Latinas and women.

Some government officials contend that these efforts are low priorities compared to basic maintenance. But NPS officials see teaching young people about historical sites and conservation as a way to make sure that the next generation of Americans feel connected to the parks and to nature. Our study suggests that NPS is on the right track.

Protecting our parks

Our analysis provides a new perspective on funding for the national park system.

The law that Congress passed when it created the NPS charges the agency with preserving the parks “unimpaired” forever.

But NPS gets its funding from a combination of visitor fees and an annual congressional appropriation, which total some $3 billion yearly. That amount is inadequate to maintain and invest in an asset valued at over $90 billion.

Moreover, by our calculations, Congress has cut its funding for NPS by 15 percent over the past 15 years when inflation is factored in. Consequently, the agency is fighting an uphill battle to keep parks pristine and unspoiled as visitor numbers climb and climate change stresses natural resources in the parks.

NPS has a backlog of overdue maintenance projects that stands at $12 billion and rising. The list includes park infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, campgrounds, trails and utilities, along with preventing forest fires and repairing historical monuments and visitor facilities.

The NPS has also been hurt by cuts to the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, which provides money to purchase private properties within parks when they go up for sale in order to

prevent development by private buyers.

NPS is required to provide services such as utilities and road access to these properties, which are known as inholdings, so often the agency saves money by buying them and merging them into the surrounding park.

Our study reinforces the Second Century Commission’s conclusion that in order to thrive, the national park system needs a new funding model and a more flexible funding structure.

Many universities, museums and other charitable institutions use endowments to achieve long-term financial stability that supports their long-term missions.

The commission recommended creating an endowment for the park system to provide a steady income that could help NPS to thrive into the next century – for example, by enabling it to issue “green bonds” to pay for infrastructure repairs.

We also believe that as a 100th birthday gift, Congress should also give NPS a one-time grant to pay off its maintenance backlog.

Congress is considering legislation that would establish a nonprofit national parks endowment to supplement federal dollars. Another pending bill would create a Centennial Challenge Fund that would match private dollars with federal money to support signature projects to enhance visitors’ experiences. But other proposals would threaten NPS funding, either through direct cuts or indirectly – for example, by slashing budgets needed to enforce the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th birthday this month, our study demonstrates that the American public benefits from just knowing that our national parks are protected for current and future generations. The continued uncertainty of living year to year on an annual budget is incompatible with NPS’ responsibility to provide perpetual protection for the treasured public lands, monuments and ecosystems that make up our national parks.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: The full moon eclipse in Aquarius on August 18 emphasizes an aggressive struggle, where religious or political passion could cause a disruption on a global level. The only thing we can do is avoid this rhetoric within our personal lives and pray for peace. Regardless of what your belief system is, there is nothing worth destroying our personal and professional relationships over. Peace!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — A large group or organization can benefit from your expertise at this time. Follow up on the contacts that you have made and give it all that you’ve got. You’re at a turning point where if you can see your success in your mind’s eye, you can make it happen in the real world, Aries. Go for it!

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You may receive a small financial windfall during the next lunar cycle, so try not to spend it all in one place. An invitation arrives for an impromptu gathering that you need to attend. Mixing business with pleasure provides excellent benefits at this time, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You may feel as though everyone considers you to be their personal banker or loan officer during the next lunar cycle.

Plead poverty, it’s not your responsibility to cover everyone else’s financial miscalculations. Home and property become a focal point in the next three months. It’s time you make your house a home, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Exciting

tains out of molehills. If you can just keep your wits about you, the ruffled feathers of others will magically smooth back into place. Romance brings a positive element back into your life by week’s end, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Finances continue to improve during this lunar cycle, allowing you to remove the outstanding balances that have been haunting you in the recent past. Now is the time to focus on your health and wellness, physically as well as emotionally. If something doesn’t feel right get to the bottom of it, you’ll be glad you did, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Fun with friends and family members sets you in a light-hearted mood that no one can deny. Anticipation for future romantic commitments are also on your mind at this time. Your career sector provides an unexpected upgrade in the months to come. Keep your eyes and ears open for advancement, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You’re feeling a bit overworked but after this week’s flurry of activity things will settle down into a consistent pace that you can deal with more effectively. Finances are improving now, but September brings a positive permanent change in your cash flow that you can count on as a result of a legal matter or upgrade in pay, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A concern with the health or welfare of a loved one may be consuming all of your thoughts. Trust that the universe will work with this individual and your prayers will be answered. Take time out to pamper yourself and your significant other at this time. A simple exchange of energy goes a long way, Pisces.

opportunities continue to align with your career sector, be cautious of another attempting to ride your coattails to the top.

You must remember to keep all negations under wraps until a contract or agreement is firmly in place. A blabbermouth out there could accidentally sabotage your long-term goals. Less is more, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — People from the past may be crawling out of the woodwork to make a connection with you during this lunar cycle. There are many benefits to revisiting some of these old war stories; in fact, you may have a fresh perspective as to why your life path has evolved to the magnitude that it has at this point. When all is said and done, you can count your blessings, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You are in a very powerful position to protect those without a voice during this lunar cycle. Take some time out to observe the lesson in this spiritual journey. You may also be called upon to straighten out a conflict among others. Choose your words carefully as you navigate through this situation. Legal matters fall into place for you now. You have the upper hand, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — When we tip our hand too soon we sabotage the outcome of our long-term goals. Then we become frustrated with everyone around us that appears to be making headway in life. Go within and see how this may apply to your current situations and do what you can to correct this. Until agreements are set in stone keep your cards close to your chest, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Confusion may reign on the first part of this week, especially with your personal life and where it stands at this time. This is only a temporary vibration so try not to blow this out of the water making moun-

nd rd 1 •2 •3 Shift M ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

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

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

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

Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. current standers are over 20 years old and we need Building Lives • BuildingOur Futures additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Making Healthy Food Decisions Around The Kitchen Table

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. I love to educate clients on the importance of good food but the importance of why we should be eating good food. If anyone knows me at all they know that I am the happiest while I am working in my kitchen. You could say I am an advocate of challenging people to change their health habits and becoming more aware of what they are putting in their mouth. I take this education one step further to involve my client’s children and grandchildren. To get them involved in the kitchen and go back to having meals around the kitchen table.

When my son Scott was little we use to talk about his day while cutting up vegetable, putting a salad together, dishing up a healthy dinner from what had been cooking all day in the crock pot and eating supper at the kitchen table. The talking continued while doing dishes. I can truly say I never used my dishwasher for this was Scott’s and my time together.

It is alarming the statistics on the health of our children due to the amount of prescription drugs that they are on. Cancer is the leading cause of death with children under 15 and the amount of children on insulin before they reach adulthood is staggering. What I am seeing with children is not only diabetes but children having heart and cholesterol issues and girls as young as 8 years old having their periods. I recently met a woman whose 8-year-old son was going to have his gallbladder removed. When I suggested that he do a gallbladder cleanse she turned her nose up and said that her son needed the surgery. I recently met a young man who is 17 years old.

He fainted and was taken to the

emergency room and after an array of testing they sent him home and could not find anything wrong with him. I took one look at him with my fingernail and tongue analysis and told him he had heart challenges, blood sugar challenge and a fatty liver challenge. I told his mother that he needed to do some major detoxing for his organs were struggling and his diet needed to be changed. He was biologically 17-years-old but his internal terrain was screaming as if he was 80-years-old.

Teaching your kids good food habits starts at home and not everything on the grocery shelf is safe. I preach no white, no corn, no soy, no wheat, no gluten, no cottonseed oil. These are just a few of my rules. Talk to your loved ones about the importance of clean food, clean ingredients and why we should be eating organics due to hormones and pesticides. I personally work with 2 farms and I know where my food source is coming from.

Clean safe food should be affordable and accessible but it is not. I have invested in hydroponic gardening and it is great way to have fresh grown vegetables all year round. It is fun, inexpensive and delicious to pick your own salad every day and know where your food is coming from.

If you have a child or grandchild who is experiencing health issues due to excessive weight and medications, please feel free to call my office. I would enjoy educating you and your family on what you can do naturally to feel good, look good and have the health you so deserve.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

Late season report

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

We’re past the mid-point of the season for most growers in the region. It’s been a fairly normal season for most fruit and vegetable growers whether backyard or on a larger scale. There will always be diseases and insect problems in the area and I’ve seen a number of these whether in the field or brought to my office.

On the insect front, we saw a lot of Japanese beetles in the region due to a winter that was not cold enough to kill them from overwintering in the soil. Hopefully you made it through this period early in summer. Striped and spotted cucumber beetles are the main insect pest if you are growing any type of cucurbit. Spotted-wing drosophilia still remains a problem if you are growing any type of soft fruit like blueberry, raspberry, and raspberry. If you have fall raspberries, you’ll still be dealing with these insects until the first frost.

Diseases were fairly normal this season.

Septoria and fusarium were common on tomatoes. I saw a couple incidences of berry diseases too in the form of blights.

Fireblight showed up on a couple of cherry

trees this season. Black rot was a problem on cole crops. Hot, cold, humid, and dry will dictate what diseases thrive or not so each season will be just slightly different.

If you are done with your garden, then you need to go ahead and put it to bed. The longer you keep dead plants in your garden area, the more likely it is that disease can move in and overwinter in the soil. Try to remove as much garden debris as you can from the area.

Much of the garden debris can be added to a compost bin. Garden debris includes any of the fruits/vegetables left behind as these can still harbor a number of pathogens.

Garden tools and stakes need to be cleaned properly. Pathogens can overwinter in the grooves of these tools and on any caked on soil. A rubbing alcohol solution can be used to clean them before laying out to dry. Tomato cages can be cleaned in a similar manner.

Thinking ahead for next season, it’s best to plan for the same diseases and insects you saw this year. By being vigilant and knowing when they appear, this will help you be an even better grower.

Farm & Ag

With focus on corn and soybean yields, acreage questions surface

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Corn and soybean markets are focused on the USDA’s August 12 Crop Production report that forecasts record U.S. yields and record production for both crops this year. University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good provides the following analysis.

The U.S. average corn yield is forecast at 175.1 bushels per acre, 6.7 bushels above the 2015 average and 4.1 bushels above the record average yield in 2014. Similarly, the U.S. average soybean yield is forecast at 48.9 bushels per acre, 0.9 bushel above the previous record yield of last year.

“The USDA yield forecasts were larger than reflected by pre-report trade guesses, but prices of both crops increased in the wake of the report,” Good says. “The price reaction may reflect a combination of the current demand strength in the export market for both crops and expectations that subsequent yield forecasts will fall short of the August forecasts.

“In addition to changes in yield forecasts, subsequent USDA production forecasts may also be influenced by changes in estimates of planted and/or harvested acreage,” Good says. “Over the past 20 years, the USDA’s final planted-acreage estimate for corn has differed from the June estimate by as little as 28,000 acres and as much as 2 million acres.”

For soybeans the difference has ranged from 32,000 to 2.5 million acres. Beginning with the October Crop Production report, the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service supplements its survey-based estimates of planted acreage with admin-

istrative data. One of the major sources of administrative data is cropland-use data reported to the USDA’s Farm Service Agency.

As stated on the FSA website, “Farm Service Agency policy requires that producers participating in several programs submit an annual report regarding all cropland use on their farms.” Beginning in August, the FSA provides a monthly summary of the crop acreages that have been reported and processed to date. A final report is issued in January of the following year.

“Because the FSA acreage data are used to supplement the National Agricultural Statistics Service survey acreage estimates, there has been a relatively consistent relationship between the final NASS acreage estimates and the final FSA acreage estimates,” Good says. “Because all farms do not participate in federal farm programs that require annual acreage reporting to FSA, NASS acreage estimates exceed acreage reported to FSA.” In the nine years from 2007 through 2015, the NASS acreage estimates for corn exceeded acreage reported to FSA by an average of 3.4 percent, in a range of 2.6 to 4.7 percent. The difference was between 3.0 and 3.5 percent in seven of the nine years.

For soybeans, the NASS acreage estimates exceeded acreage reported to FSA by an average of 1.8 percent, in a range of 1.2 to 3.0 percent.

“Given the relatively consistent relationship between NASS and FSA acreage estimates, participants in the corn and soybean market attempt to anticipate the final NASS acreage estimates based on monthly acreage summaries provided by FSA,” Good says. “The difficulty in that

process is that the pace at which the monthly FSA acreage summaries approach the final acreage estimates released in January varies from year to year. For example, just over the past four years, the difference between the final acreage estimates and the August acreage report for corn ranged from1.1 to 3.6 million acres. The difference seems to be small in years of early planting, such as 2012, when producers can report early and larger in years of later planting. By October, the FSA acreage totals are typically very close to the final estimates released in January.

However, that report is released to the public after the NASS October Crop Production report, which already incorporates the October FSA acreage data, is released.”

Even with the limitations of using the FSA’s August and September acreage reports to anticipate the final NASS acreage estimates, there is substantial interest in those monthly reports, Good says.

The first report for 2016 was released on August 12. For corn, producers had reported corn plantings of 90.365 million acres. That compares to the NASS June acreage estimate of 94.148 million acres.

The NASS estimate is 4.2 percent larger than the FSA estimate, which is within the

range of the final ratios over the past nine years. For soybeans, producers had reported plantings of 81.368 million acres, compared to the NASS June acreage estimate of 83.668 million acres. The NASS estimate is only 2.8 percent larger than the FSA estimate, which is also within the range of the final ratios over the past nine years.

“Some have argued that the relatively low NASS/FSA acreage ratios in August suggest that the final NASS acreage estimates will likely exceed the June estimates,” Good says. “That is, the expectation is that subsequent FSA reports will show larger plantings. If the ratio between NASS and FSA is maintained, the NASS estimate will also have to be increased. However, the current ratios may only reflect that a large proportion of farmers reported acreage early this year because crops were generally planted early.

“Although providing some useful benchmarks, the FSA’s August acreage report for corn and soybeans does not allow for a strong conclusion about where the final NASS acreage estimates will come in,” Good concludes. “It is too early to conclude that final acreage estimates will vary substantially from the June estimates.”

Mr. Green Car

Hearing loss for some family fun

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

On August 6 my wife Ruth and I attended the Rockford Speedway’s Figure-8 Trailer Race. This was not the first time, nor likely the last. Only in America can you witness such a spectacle. Five minutes of utter delightful destructive chaos. There were 40 entries – so it was literally too much to watch at once – a Three Ring Circus.

We had a vested interest in attending. I’ve had a 1979 Chevy Suburban rotting away in the corner of my yard since it was last driven in 2002. Too much invested in its drivetrain – I always thought I’d fix up it’s rotting body and drive it once again. But its 4x4-ness only ever yielded 10 mpg and subsequent Suburbans have proven to be great improvements over this old beast. So it sat. And rotted. Until it caught the eye of my neighbor, who fancied it for the trailer race. A few bills of currency were exchanged and he became the owner. I watched it change before my eyes. Good parts and glass removed. Gaudy fluorescent orange paint applied. Well, we had to go watch it’s fate.

He was towing a “stock trailer” – a thing sturdier than the vehicle towing it. Subsequently, it was pretty much avoided in all the collisions taking place during the five minutes of mayhem of this event. The old Suburban was sparking quite horrendously from the right front – then stopped near the cross intersection never to move again – with its stout trailer defending it. Ruth and I never saw the “end” of the event as it came to a stop under a red caution and seemed that the better part of the chaos was over. I’d “creatively parked” our Miata and was anxious to get out of the parking lot before the rest of the thousands of spectators. That we managed. Nonetheless, it was great to get out and watch the racing and the carnage that took place.

But one thing I did witness was a near total disregard for everyone’s hearing. Ruth and I were among the precious few wearing earplugs. I saw exactly one child, an infant,

with ear protectors on. Yes it is great fun to listen to the unmuffled cars roar by, but that’s an adult choice to ruin your hearing. Small children have a life ahead of them where they may wish to enjoy good hearing. It is the adult responsibility to protect their child’s hearing – and simple, very cheap earplugs as Ruth and I wore are the solution. Wearing earplugs at the race did not diminish the experience at all. It may in fact enhance it since no pain was involved.

If your ears hurt or ring after a loud event – you’ve lost some hearing ability. It does not ever recover. The ringing may go away, but the hearing loss is permanent. Take it from someone who has tinnitus. The constant ringing in your ears is no fun, and the longer you can delay this from happening, the better off you will be.

Give your children a chance to enjoy the

subtle sounds of nature and life. Provide them with hearing protection when you are in loud environments. Wear them yourself to demonstrate to your children that it is a good

idea. Like wearing your seat belt to show the kids you care about them and your future.

It’s not much to do or ask. Please heed this admonition.

High School Sports

IHSA pension details kept under wraps The Illinois High School Association brings in revenue from state-funded high schools, but judges ruled that does not mean it needs to disclose how it funds its pension plan.

Because IHSA holds not-for-profit status and is not a public agency, it is not legally required to share financial information – including the details of employee pensions, how much revenue it earns or from what sources – a three-judge panel ruled recently.

These financial details were being sought by the Better Government Association, which filed a lawsuit in 2014, citing the Illinois Freedom of Information Act as the rationale for why the IHSA needs to disclose the information.

Interest in these financial details peaked when the IHSA paid $888,425 from its two retirement funds during the 2014-15 school year despite a decline in revenue and profits from its biggest event, the state boys’ basket-

BASEBALL From Back Cover

Starter John Lackey was pulled from Sunday’s final contest with the Cardinals with shoulder stiffness after 6.2 innings and may potentially miss his next scheduled start on Saturday in Colorado.

The Cubs were without bullpen tandem Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon going into the series this weekend, as Strop suffered a left meniscus tear during his appearance on Thursday. Strop will have surgery and be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. However, in the nick of time, former closer Hector Rondon returned to action on Sunday, but had an unsuccessful outing as he surrendered four runs in onethird of an inning’s work.

The Cubs will finish out the homestand against the Brewers before heading to Colorado for a three game set this weekend at Coors Field. The team will then take on the Padres at Petco Park for a three games before an off-day next Thursday.

On the South side, one would think it would be hard for things to get any worse. After the season ending injury of rookie Charlie Tilson during his major league debut last week in Detroit, the White Sox continued to pile up the disabled list which now possesses a staggering 10 players, with the newest addition being starter Miguel Gonzalez.

Gonzalez, who has been wildly and unexpectedly successful during his first season

ball tournament.

IHSA financial statements filed with the Illinois attorney general’s office show that pension payouts increased 41 percent compared with the previous year. IHSA’s contributions to its retirement funds increased 48 percent over the previous year.

The IHSA said it would not reveal what it pays

individuals from its main pension fund. The panel, from the First District Illinois Appellate Court, agreed.

The panel unanimously ruled in June that because the IHSA technically isn’t a government body, it doesn’t fall under the disclosure requirements established in the Illinois Freedom of

with the White Sox, was removed from his last start against the Royals with a groin strain. Gonzalez is currently on the 15-day disabled list.

Second baseman Brett Lawrie, whom the White Sox have been without since July 22nd with a left hamstring strain, began his rehab assignment with in Double-A Birmingham on Saturday. Lawrie went 2-for-3 with a double. If his rehab assignment proves successful, Lawrie should be expected back with the team within a few days.

The predicament for the White Sox continues as the final acts of the epically comic and tragic 2016 White Sox season winds down and manager Robin Ventura’s contract is set to expire. Ventura, who is in his fifth season managing the South siders, has been the center for much controversy and has even been the rumoured to be on the hot seat after the White Sox’s mid-May fall off. However, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf has known to be unwaveringly loyal to his staff, and the team’s front office have voiced their trust in Ventura’s abilities to successfully manage this team.

One might wonder how far that faith extends though — is far enough to merit an extension? With the shape that the team currently find themselves in, it’s safe to assume that the decision isn’t simply pending how the rest of the season plays out, and is much more than able to be made now.

The White Sox are currently winding down their road trip in Cleveland before heading

home to take on the Oakland Athletics for a three game set this weekend. After an off-day on Monday, the South siders will then host the Phillies for two games, and the Mariners for four at U.S. Cellular Field.

Information Act. Attorneys Joshua Burday and Matthew Topic filed a petition for the case to be heard at the next judicial level on behalf of BGA. “The IHSA case is currently on petition with the Illinois Supreme Court,” Burday said.

This second attempt at obtaining access to financial details of the IHSA may not pan out, however.

“The Illinois Supreme Court doesn’t have to hear it,” Burday said. “That’s at their discretion.”

Critics say IHSA should not be exempt and should be considered a government body because it generates income from athletic events that involve public schools, and thus performs a governmental function.

The appellate court said schools do not have to participate in the IHSA, rendering that point invalid.

Playoffs in sight as Cubs keep rest of Central at bay

By Cat Garcia Contributor

A

s the Cubs begin to wind down a 10game, nine-day homestand at Wrigley Field, most can begin to exhale.

The North siders finished a series with the Cardinals on Sunday 12 games ahead of their St. Louis rivals, perched atop the National League Central.

The Cubs wound up splitting their four game series with the Cardinals – which in a way is more than the Cubs could ask for from a long set with the pesky St. Louis team.

Things looked quite cheerful through the seventh inning of Saturday’s contest, the third game of the series, after starter Kyle Hendricks pitched a gem, going seven innings with an incredible twelve strikeouts on the afternoon. Hendricks gave up two runs and no walks.

However, things didn’t end as rosy as they began when Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr. came into the game, issuing four walks and giving up two runs to give the Cardinals the lead. With the bases loaded, reliever Joe Smith came in for Edwards, and things quickly went South as Smith gave up a monster grand slam to Randal Grichuk to give the Cardinals the 8-2 lead in the eighth. All three baserunners were charged to Edwards.

On that loss, the Cubs two week long, 11-game winning streak came to an end, but, as they say, all good things must come to an end – just more often than not it isn’t such an ugly end.
