Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican rival Donald Trump by 12 percentage points among likely voters, her strongest showing this month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday. The Aug. 18-22 poll showed that 45 percent of voters supported Clinton, while 33 percent backed Trump ahead of the Nov. 8 election. Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state, has led Trump, a New York businessman, throughout most of the 2016 campaign. But her latest lead represents a stronger level of support than polls indicated over the past few weeks. Earlier in August, Clinton’s lead over Trump ranged from 3 to 9 percentage points in the poll. The poll also found that about 22 percent of likely voters would not pick either candidate. “Those who are wavering right now are just as likely to be thinking about supporting a third-party candidate instead, and not between Clinton and Trump,” said Tom Smith, who directs the Center for the Study of Politics and Society at the University of Chicago. During the latest polling, Clinton faced renewed scrutiny about her handling of classified emails while serving as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, and Trump’s campaign chief, Paul Manafort, resigned after a reshuffle of the candidate’s campaign leadership team.

Florida officials on Tuesday announced the first case of Zika transmitted by mosquitoes in Pinellas County, located some 265 miles from Miami, where the first locally transmitted U.S. cases were reported. Steve Huard, acting spokesman for Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, said the case involves a woman without a significant travel history, indicating the virus was contracted locally. He did not know the timeline on the case, only that it had been confirmed within the past day. He did not have any more details on the patient’s illness. “At this point, it’s a single case. It’s a one-off,” Huard said. “We don’t know where it originated, and we are doing appropriate testing and medical surveillance.” Florida Governor Rick Scott said the state department of health has begun door-to-door outreach in Pinellas County, testing individuals to find other cases. Pinellas County is home to St. Petersburg, Clearwater and a number of Gulf Coast beaches that are popular tourist destinations. Scott said the health department and Pinellas County Mosquito Control have begun “aggressive spraying and mosquito abatement efforts,” and he said any pregnant woman who wants a free Zika test or a Zika prevention kit should contact the health department.

Downtown

‘It’ll be twice as big next year’ By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

Sunday’s return of the Rock River Anything That Floats Race (RRATFR) was a raging success for downtown. The Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has confirmed 20,000 people attended the RRARFR. One rafter exclaimed at the finish line, “This much bigger than even the first Pokemon crowds! I can’t believe all the people and boats on the river.” Steve Lucas of Rock River Enterprises and Barge, estimated that 150-200 boats were on the river watching the race, which had not run since the early 1990s. “This race was better than the old race because it was more like a regatta,” Lucas said. “In the old one, Crime Stoppers always won because they had akayak and theycalled itaraft.This yearitwas categorizedintogroupswhichmadeitmorediverseand competitive, with a more of a chances of winning. The strong wind made it a definite challenge for some of the taller rafts to keep off the shore.” The race course ran from the north side of

the Auburn Street Bridge to the prow of The Rock River Times houseboat on the northern pier of the Prairie Street Brewhouse Marina. The crowd at the Brewhouse was estimated at 2,500. Gramps with Amps and Dirty Fishnet Stockings provided the music and 104.9 FM-WXRX’s Jim Stone and Double T were the MCs for the awards ceremony. “We are very excited about how race day went,” said Co-Chair and Prairie Street Brewhouse Manager Chris Manuel. “We heard great things from visitors and racers alike. Plans are already underway to make next year’s race even better. We are looking forward to more unique rafts and more paddlers next year.” More than 100 volunteers and Rockford Park District staff worked the event. Organizers were very happy that 4,000 t-shirts have almost sold out at only $15 each. The remainder can be purchased online at rratfr.com The RRATFR is a fundraiser for the nonfor-profit Rockford 4th of July and Holiday Lighting Committee, Rock River Trail Initiative, and Ski Broncs.

ThinkProgress.org

In an interview with the Springfield State Journal-Register, Republican Sen. Mark Kirk described President Obama as acting “like the drug dealer in chief.” While criticizing the decision to deliver $400 million in cash to Iran shortly after four American hostages were released from Iranian custody in January, Kirk told the paper that “we can’t have the president of the United States acting like the drug dealer in chief… Giving clean packs of money to a… state sponsor of terror.” This isn’t the first time Kirk has deployed a racially loaded dog whistle to attack Obama, whose old Senate seat he holds. While criticizing the Iran nuclear deal last year, Kirk used Obama’s middle name to refer to the president, saying that “tens of thousands of people in the Middle East are gonna lose their lives because of this decision by Barack Hussein Obama.” As ThinkProgress has previously written,

the $400 million transfer was the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving an outstanding claim at an international tribunal at The Hague. While an administration official recently confirmed that delivery of the money was contingent on the hostages being released, international law obligated the United States to fork it over sooner or later. But the sequence of events has presented Republicans with an opportunity to allege the Obama administration made a ransom payment, and nobody has seized it more aggressively than Kirk, who once described the Iran nuclear deal as “the greatest appeasement since Chamberlain gave Czechoslovakia to Hitler.” Kirk is one of the few Republican senators who opposes Donald Trump, but he also recently said he won’t vote for Hillary Clinton because he “can’t support someone who is for the Iran agreement.” During the same interview, Kirk said he planned to write in Colin Powell for president, but he’s since backtracked after realizing Powell also supported

the Iran deal. Given an opportunity to clarify Kirk’s “drug dealer in chief ” comment, his campaign manager, Kevin Artl, reiterated the same criticism about “pallets of cash” that his boss originally made. Kirk’s history of making racially loaded statements goes beyond his aforementioned attacks on Obama. As the Chicago Tribune reported last year, Kirk once referred to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, as “a bro with no ho… that’s what we’d say on the South Side.” (Graham is single.) Kirk previously told the Peoria Journal Star newspaper people drive faster through black neighborhoods. Kirk is locked in a tight battle with Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Hoffman Estates, to retain his Senate seat. In a statement sent to ThinkProgress, Duckworth campaign spokesman Matt McGrath characterized Kirk’s comments as “misguided and deeply offensive, and beneath the dignity of the office he holds. He should apologize.”

Bipartisan criminal justice reform bills become law

If there’s one thing both sides of the political aisle in Illinois agree on it’s the need for fundamental reforms to the state’s criminal justice system. On Monday, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, surrounded mostly by Democrats, signed a series of bills dealing with criminal justice issues. State Sen. Jacqueline Collins, D-Chicago, says one bill addresses inmate phone calls. “By ending the practice of allowing for profit contractors to charge exorbitant rates for inmate phone calls we are enabling families to stay connected.” State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, said other bills ensure ex-offenders get a second chance for employment. “We are working systematically to remove barriers to reemployment, and I applaud the governor signing of both the school system employment bill and the park district employment bill.” Rauner said punishment is important, but the state must also focus on rehabilitating offenders. One law Rauner highlighted was ensuring that judges publicly explain why a youth should continue probation. “Too often being locked away in either having to go to jail or be under constant scrutiny and being under probation prevents a young person from getting a job and being rehabilitated.” The governor also talked about other ways to deter crime in Illinois, and that’s to have a competitive,boomingeconomy,“creatinggoodjobsin every neighborhood, in every community; No. 1.” “No. 2,” Rauner said, “we can have an excellent school providing high quality teaching and

skills development in every neighborhood, and every community.” The governor continues to push for reforms to reduce the state’s prison population 25 percent by 2025.

AG ruling extends FOIA laws to officials’ private messages

A new ruling by Illinois’ Attorney General means some public employees’ private emails and texts could be retrievable upon request. Attorney General Lisa Madigan has issued a binding decision that the personal email accounts of many types of public employees are subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests if those emails contain public business. The opinion stems from a CNN request to the Chicago Police Department to turn over any personal emails that officers may have made regarding the Laquan McDonald shooting. Holland & Knight Senior Counsel Mark Burkland said the ruling will have a ripple effect on municipalities across Illinois. “Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to pull out a smartphone to text a colleague for a public works project or something similar,” he said. “If a water main breaks at 2 a.m., is the public works director not supposed to use their personal device to call or to text someone to get out and fix it?” he asked. The attorney representing CNN argued that granting public employees’ private emails

immunity from FOIA requests would undermine current disclosure laws, since it would incentivize them to use those accounts to hide sensitive information. The rule doesn’t apply to elected officials and their private accounts. Burklund said public bodies should make rules to establish a way to get to their employees’ private accounts should they need to. It is uncertain if the City of Chicago plans to appeal the decision. In an unrelated March ruling of a FOIA case brought by the Chicago Tribune, a Cook County judge ruled that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s emails, texts and other communications were not exempt from public disclosure laws because they were sent on private devices. The City of Chicago asked the judge in that case to dismiss the Tribune’s lawsuit, arguing the requests constitute an “unprecedented and unreasonable invasion of personal privacy” and the “alleged emails are not public records.” But Cook County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen M. Pantle said the state’s FOIA law does not distinguish between records kept on publicly funded devices and private ones. “There is no merit to defendants’ argument that the mere storage of communications pertaining to the transaction of public business on personal electronic devices (or in personal email accounts) categorically shields those communications from the FOIA.” –Illinois News Network; Staff reports

After the Fair

“

This is such a great event! We’ll see you again next year.”

The sentiment, voiced over the years, was heard many times this year at the 15th Annual Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair. People came from many places, primarily northern Illinois, but some from as far as Duluth, Minnesota; Chesterton, Indiana; and Lincoln, Nebraska. They were young and old, city and country dwellers, students, professors, engineers, farmers, and those simply interested. They were pleased to be there. The 90 percent chance of thunderstorms and a clap of thunder at 5 a.m. Saturday morning made us wonder what might happen to the day. But the rainy, stormy weather didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of fairgoers. Sunday was a

picture perfect summer day. Many visitors come to hear speakers who are known as being the best of those at any such an event. Others return to reconnect with old friends and share updates on news and accomplishments. Reconnection is revitalizing. Keynote and feature speakers provided an optimistic view of the future of renewable energy. Howard Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, spoke on electricity game changers; Kevin Brehm and Margaret McCall of the Rocky Mountain Institute spoke on utilities embracing community electricity and new energy tech in the Midwest. Workshops, the backbone of the Fair, were organized into four major threads: policy,

buildings and transportation, renewable energy, and food and gardening. Visitors could attend all sessions on the topics of their choice or pick and choose from the varied offerings. Themes varied from Illinois’ energy transition through backyard climate change in one thread, from building a low-cost tiny house through comparing the carbon footprint of electric to conventionally powered vehicles in a second, from the history of wind turbines through LED lighting innovation and controls in another, and vegetarian cooking made simple through hunting, butchering and preserving meat in the fourth. Hands-on mini craft workshops were also offered. A new addition, Caring and Sharing, was well received. Books, vegetables and local seeds were exchanged at no cost to those who happily took them. Electric vehicles and solar cookers were exhibited and explained. Delicious, nutritious food included fresh picked local sweet corn donated by Rick Canfield. Another new addition, a trip to Nachusa Grasslands to see the bison and new calves was

a delightful success. We expect to offer more field trips next year. Vendors met and informed visitors, answering their questions about renewable energy and sustainable lifestyles. Staff and volunteers did an heroic job of keeping everything running smoothly, from selling tickets at the gate through picking up refuse to answering the myriad questions at the office. We were pleased to see Gabriela Martin, Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation Energy Program Director, who arrived with her children. We’re already planning next year’s event, beginning with thanking those who gave so much at this year’s. Our purpose is to help people get information that they want or might want. We learn from each event and welcome feedback. Major sponsors of the Fair were the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, The Rock River Times, Northern Public Radio, the Ogle County Waste Management Department, and Midwest Energy News.

Rockford Fire Dept. given international accredidation VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY The Rockford Fire Department has received Accredited Agency status with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) for meeting the criteria established through the CFAI’s voluntary self-assessment and accreditation program. The department is one of over 200 agencies to achieve the Internationally Accredited Agency status with the CFAI and under the Center for Public Safety Excellence, Inc. (CPSE). CFAI is dedicated to assisting the fire and emergency service agencies throughout the world in achieving excellence through self-assessment and accreditation in order to provide continuous quality improvement and the enhancement of service delivery to their communities.

After School at the Y ignites spark

A new school year means a fresh start for kids – a chance to start new routines and habits, build new friendships and discover new possibilities and interests. Back-to-school is a fresh start for youth and the people who care for them. As children transition from summer to fall, the YMCA of Rock River Valley is offering Kids’ Time programs to school-aged children at 24 sites throughout Winnebago County to keep youth active, busy and engaged during out-of-school time. Whether through sports, mentorship, or academic support, YMCA staff members nurture the potential of youth throughout the school year. At the end of the day when the school bell rings, 11.3 million kids are headed home to be unsupervised from 3-6 p.m, according to the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness advocacy organization. In Illinois, 20 percent of children are left alone and responsible for taking care of themselves. With a new school year about to begin, the Y encourages parents/caregivers to make sure that children are involved in safe, educational experiences after school hours. “Learning enrichment after school is essential to a child’s success in school,” said Andre Anthony, Executive Director of Youth Achievement, YMCA of Rock River Valley. “By providing the opportunity to get additional learning and support, as well as participate in meaningful and enriching activities, we aim to foster an environment in which our children can build long-lasting relationships, attain a sense of belonging and

achieve academically.” Kids’ Time is offered at select elementary schools in the Rockford and Harlem school districts. Additionally, Pecatonica Elementary and Jackson Charter School are Kids’ Time sites. To see the full list of schools, visit rockriverymca.org. The Y is a leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen, supporting their social-emotional, cognitive and physical development from birth to career. In the YMCA Kids’ Time afterschool program youth receive help with homework, explore the arts and partake in health and fitness activities. The Y will also be offering the Kids’ Time Y University program that allows children to take specialized classes, including music lessons, a foreign language, science and dance. Financial assistance is available to those in need, to ensure every child and teen has the opportunity to learn and grow at the Y. For more information about the Kids’ Time afterschool program, please contact the Y at 815-489-1194 or visit our site at rockriverymca.org. –YMCA of Rock River Valley

NAMI seeks golfers, sponsors for scramble

We are sponsoring an Olympics themed golf scramble on Monday, September 12. Scramble will begin at 12:30 p.m. at Forest Hills Country Club, 5135 Forest Hills Road. We are in search of sponsors and golfers to help up raise money for our outreach funds. These funds assist us in giving free education, support, and advocacy to those that are im-

pacted by mental illness. These funds also aid us in our mission of stamping out the stigma placed on those that are struggling. You may assist us by simply golfing at $135 a person or by sponsoring a golf hole: Bronze - $50, Silver - $100, and Gold - $150. Any sponsors will be acknowledged as a sign of appreciation on the golf course, our website, and in our newsletter. Mental health is important at every stage of life. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Unfortunately in our world, mental illness is as common as physical illness. Every year, mental illness affects 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 5 children. Out of those individuals, 60 percent of the adults and 50 percent of the children never receive the care or support that they need. With the lack of care & funding, along with the excessive amount of shame placed on those struggling with their mental health, these illnesses can lead to homelessness, imprisonment, physical medical conditions, and suicide.

Kegel’s Bicycle Store named one of country’s top Kegel’s Bicycle Store of Rockford has been named one of America’s Best Bike Shops for 2016 by the National Bicycle Dealers Association. This is the third consecutive year that Kegel’s has been awarded this honor.

There are approximately 4,000 bike shops in the United States, and fewer than 300 were chosen to be named “America’s Best.” The shops were asked to fill out a detailed application describing what sets them apart from the average retailer. Mystery shoppers then evaluated the business in more detail by visiting the store, reviewing their website, and contacting the shop by phone to assess the performance from a consumer’s perspective. The program is designed to help consumers find great stores in their areas that will provide the expertise and professionalism they need to get the most benefit from cycling. The recipients of the America’s Best Bike Shops title not only offer great shopping experiences, but are also rated on their support for their communities, as well as support for bicycle advocacy both locally and nationally. Founded in 1946, the National Bicycle Dealers Association is a non-profit association promoting the interests of every specialty bicycle retailer in the United States. Kegel’s owner Robb Sinks says “Our customers, commitment to the Rockford community and high quality products and service have always been our top priorities. We employ skilled mechanics and salespeople who work with these priorities in mind. This is a great honor for Kegel’s to receive this designation for the third year in a row. ” For more information visit kegelsbikes.com. –Kegel’s Bikes Let us know what your organization is up to.

| The Rock River Times | RockRiverTimes.com | August 24-30, 2016 John Lennon fields questions from reporters on an airport runway as the Beatles tour the U.S. in 1966.

Are the Beatles still more misunderstood than Jesus? Fifty years since Lennon’s watershed interview, we still haven’t wrapped our heads around what it meant. By Brian Ward The Conversation

‘W

e should be wearing targets here,” quipped Paul McCartney as he stepped nervously off a plane at Memphis airport on August 19, 1966. The Beatles arrived in Memphis amid massive controversy. In March, John Lennon had suggested in an interview with Maureen Cleave of the London Evening Standard that the Beatles had grown more popular than Jesus. When his remarks reappeared in the American teen magazine Datebook in August, they sparked a fierce backlash just as the band embarked on its final tour. Hostility was particularly intense in the American south. In Alabama, DJs Tommy Charles and Doug Layton at the WAQY-Birmingham radio station were first to initiate a “ban-the-Beatles campaign”. Other stations, cities and towns soon followed suit. Starke in Florida had the dubious distinction of being the first place to burn Beatles records and memorabilia. Similar conflagrations spread quickly across the region. Some of the most pyrotechnical protests involved those formidable guardians of white racial and religious purity, the Ku Klux Klan. In Chester, South Carolina, Klan Grand Dragon Bob Scoggins nailed a Beatles record to a large cross and set it on fire. In Tupelo, Mississippi, Grand Wizard Dale Walton urged teens to “cut their Beatle wigs off ” and send them to a “public burning”. In Washington DC and Memphis, Klansmen in full regalia were an ominous presence outside the band’s concerts. The “Jesus” controversy is often considered a watershed moment in the Beatles’s career. In the aftermath, they abandoned live shows and, according to biographer Jon Weiner, Lennon took his “first steps towards radical politics”. And yet the controversy remains largely misunderstood and misrepresented in the vast literature on the band. Virtually nobody has explored what kind of publication Datebook, the magazine responsible for

circulating the claim, really was. Few commentators have got to grips with the motives of its owner-editor Art Unger, or considered the role of Danny Fields, later manager of the Ramones, who worked briefly at the magazine in mid-1966.

Datebook

The infamous July 1966 issue of Datebook, which brought Lennon’s “Jesus” remark into the mainstream American conscious.

While on Datebook’s payroll, Fields was tasked with revamping its cover for a special “Shout Out!” issue to mark the transition from bi-monthly to monthly publication. That was the issue that featured Lennon’s interview with his infamous quote, “I don’t know which will go first, Christianity or rock’n’roll!” on its cover. Even more prominent was McCartney’s tart comment on U.S. race relations: “It’s a lousy country where anyone black is a dirty nigger!” The cover also advertised articles on LSD, the Vietnam War and the virtues of interracial dating. This content suggests Datebook was not the “standard teenybop rag” rou-

tinely depicted in accounts of the “Jesus” controversy. Most of those accounts also erroneously accuse Datebook – Unger is seldom mentioned by name – of cynically reproducing Lennon’s controversial comments out of context and using the interview without permission. In fact, Unger had been encouraged to use all four Beatles interviews, which were reproduced in Datebook without any significant changes, by Tony Barrow, the band’s press officer. In March 1966, Barrow wrote to Unger: “I think you might be more than interested in a series of ‘in-depth’ pieces which Maureen Cleave is doing on each Beatle for the London Evening Standard. I’m enclosing a clipping showing her piece on John Lennon; I think the style and content is very much in line with the sort of thing DATEBOOK likes to use.” Clearly, Barrow already understood Datebook’s politics. Unger had created a socially engaged magazine dedicated to challenging all manner of prejudice, dogma, and discrimination, even as it dispensed advice about haircare, makeup and dating etiquette. The fact that Unger, like Fields, was gay may have fueled their determination to nurture more tolerant attitudes among Datebook’s young readers. Nowhere was Datebook’s quietly subversive agenda more clear than in the realm of race relations.

‘Segregation is a lot of rubbish’

At the height of the civil rights movement in the south, Datebook often focused on racial and religious intolerance. In 1961, for example, it asked “should you date boys of another race or religion?” and concluded that “across-the-line dating can be a healthy and desirable thing”. That same year Lillian Smith, a leading southern white racial liberal, urged Datebook’s overwhelmingly white female readers to break with the racism of an older generation. The

magazine even included contact details for various civil rights groups so that readers could support the movement. The Beatles were also aware of Unger’s liberal agenda. They first met him in 1964. Afterwards, their press office regularly supplied Datebook with news scoops and provided extensive access whenever the band toured the U.S. The band often proved willing accomplices in Unger’s plans. In 1965, Datebook reported a flight from Houston when drummer Ringo had “joined a circle of performers, many of whom were Negroes, and they talked about everything, including race relations, Ringo making his pro-integration feelings very clear”. Ringo insisted: “Segregation is a lot of rubbish. As far as we’re concerned, people are people, no different from each other.” Understanding the Beatles’s links to Unger and their willingness to speak out on social issues in his magazine long before 1966, changes our perspective on the dramatic events of that summer. Suddenly, they begin to look less like the first chapter in the story of the band’s political awakening and more like an important episode in a much longer tale. Looking back through the pages, not to mention the covers, of Datebook certainly reminds us that Lennon was not the only Beatle with strong opinions on current affairs. Fifty years on, it is time to stop casting Unger’s decision to reprint Lennon’s interview as the act of the unscrupulous owner of a “cheesy American teen magazine” out for a fast buck. Instead, we need to see it as one phase in his efforts to use Datebook to showcase progressive politics, encourage unconventional opinions, and expose all kinds of prejudice. The Beatles certainly recognized that Unger’s Datebook was very different from other teen publications. And so should we. Brian Ward is a historian of the modern U.S. South, the civil rights movement, popular music, the 1960s, and Anglo-American cultural relations.

Lights Out gives plenty of scares By Thomas Simpson Contributor

odern horror maestro, James Wan, switches to producer duties to present 2016’s latest fear flick. Directed by David F. Sandberg, Lights Out is a solid supernatural scare fest that will have audiences investing in a bedside lamp. Based on Sandberg’s 2013 short film of the same name, the premise involves a ghoulish figure called Diana who uses the darkness to strike at her victims. This allows Sandberg to employ a very simple and effective technique of playing on people’s fear of the dark and what lurks in the shadows. Martin (Gabriel Bateman) lives with his mother Sophie (Maria Bello) and is frightened by a strange apparition he sees in the gloom. Unable to sleep through fear he contacts his step-sister Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) who recalls her own childhood issues with her mother. Along with her boyfriend Bret (Alexander DiPersia), Rebecca investigates her mother’s past and uncovers a terrifying home truth that links the family to the devilish creature.

Based on the aforementioned short film the screenplay by Eric Heisserer deals with turning a terrifying idea into an 80-minute feature. The short runtime allows for some backstory while preventing the premise from overstaying its welcome. There is no great mystery to events as Heisserer is perfectly content with presenting the story upfront,

allowing Sandberg to concentrate on the important task of giving the audience chills. The director is partial to his jump scares however he earns the right to use them. He doesn’t facilitate the technique cheaply, concentrating on frightening viewers through sustained terror and leaving them uneasy whenever a light so much as flickers. The

1211 W Galena Ave. Freeport, IL

device could easily grow tiresome after the first half hour, instead the fear factor only increases as the stakes are raised. The film may lean on traditional horror movie clichés from time to time, but it’s not a crutch for it to rely on. Sandberg doesn’t rely on a gruesome body count to get attention which makes the deaths mean more when they happen. The likable characters also ensure that we’re invested in their plight meaning we care when they’re in danger. They aren’t merely cannon fodder for Diana with the small cast keeping the film tight-knit. Filmed on a budget of just under $5 million, Lights Out has smashed the box office to rake in over $110 million and counting. Naturally, a sequel has been greenlit. Whether that will be as effective remains to be seen, in the meantime Lights Out is a skillfully crafted horror that will make you think twice about turning the light off.

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.

Commentary

Are you applauding Gawker’s demise?

By Trevor Timm

Freedom of the Press Foundation

awker.com, the pioneering and controversial media blog, officially died Monday. It was killed by billionaire Peter Thiel in his successful quest to bankrupt Gawker Media Group through a series of lawsuits he funded – most notably via wrestler Hulk Hogan, who sued over the publication of a portion of a sex tape recorded and leaked by his former friend four years ago. Out of all the controversial topics that we’ve tweeted about at Freedom of the Press Foundation – and there have been a lot – by far the most negative response we’ve received is from Gawker critics who are happy to see the website die. The Hogan case certainly brings up a lot of tangled questions about the tension between privacy and free speech, and it’s certainly understandable that many people have found Gawker’s decision to publish a clip of Hulk Hogan’s sex tape deplorable. (It’s also true that Gawker did a lot of exemplary investigative journalism, overlooked by its critics.) But condemning a specific story and cheering the demise of a media organization at the hands of the legal system are two very different things. So here are a few questions we have for those who are celebrating Gawker’s death: 1. Does it give you pause that, even if the Hogan post was offensive and should never have been published, that a federal judge and federal appeals court both ruled prior to the jury verdict in the case funded by Thiel that the post was “newsworthy” and protected by the First Amendment? 2. Even if you think Gawker’s publishing of the Hogan tape should not have been protected by the First Amendment – again, as an appeals court previously ruled – do you think that it was fair that the jury awarded Hogan $140 million dollars, 145 times more than the average judgment in wrongful death cases in United States? 3. Do you think it’s fair and just that Gawker – which employed dozens of journalists and staff that had nothing to do with the Hogan story – receive what amounted to the death penalty for one serious lapse in editorial judgment? Similarly, should the New York Times be taken to court and forced into folding for publishing false intelligence that helped lead the United States into the Iraq War? Should the Daily Beast be legally decapitated for its disgusting article from just two weeks ago potentially outed gay Olympians that live in oppressive countries? 4. Do you agree that Gawker should have been barred from appealing both the verdict and the $140 million judg-

ment before declaring bankruptcy and being forced to sell the company? As Gawker’s Tom Socca wrote Monday, “The company was asking only to survive long enough to put the judgment before a higher court, on appeal. This is, supposedly, how the system works.” 5. If you think, “But Gawker via Valleywag outed Peter Thiel in 2007 (Which, they didn’t. Thiel had been out for nearly a half-decade before a Valleywag story discussed his role as a gay man in Silicon Valley.) and they posted other distasteful stories over the years too”, do you also think they should be punished for those posts in the court of law, even if they are considered protected speech?

6. Do you agree with the variety of other lawsuits and legal threats that Gawker has endured from Thiel’s lawyer Charles Harder that have nothing to do with the Hogan tape? Does it matter that those are garden variety libel suits that any first year law student can tell you are clearly protected by the First Amendment? Those cost Gawker millions in legal fees as well. If the Hogan suit failed, what if Gawker had died by a thousand cuts instead, despite clearly being protected by the First Amendment? 7. Do you think that because Gawker’s demise is something you agree with that the same thing won’t happen to news outlets you like in the future? Donald Trump has

readily admitted to suing a former New York Times reporter – knowing he would lose – just to try to bleed him of money. Mother Jones spent millions in legal fees just to win a case against a vindictive billionaire in the early stages of litigation last year, only to see the billionaire turn around and start a million dollar fund for other people to sue members of the “liberal press.” 8. Oh, and by the way, the same law firm that Peter Thiel funded just sent threatening letters to Politico and the Daily Mail on behalf of Donald Trump’s wife Melania Trump and demanded they stop reporting on stories Trump considers false. Do you think they smell blood now that they’ve been shown the blueprint to success? 9. Maybe you don’t have any sympathy for former Gawker editor AJ Daulerio, the author of the Hogan post, because of his tasteless and offensive joke that made headlines during the Hogan trial. But does that mean it’s perfectly fine for Thiel’s lawyers to bar Gawker from paying for the legal defense of Daulerio and, at the same time, freezing his personal bank account so that he has no money to hire his own lawyer? Should he be forced to defend himself in court without a lawyer? 10. Do you think it’s fair and just that more than a half-dozen individual reporters are still being sued by Peter Thiel’s lawyer in those non-Hogan related cases, and that Thiel’s legal team is attempting to prevent Gawker paying for the legal defense of those individuals as well? Should individual reporters face serious threat of bankruptcy for posts their employer assigned, sanctioned and published (and again, are protected by the First Amendment)? 11. If Gawker is “mean” and “snarky” and has sometimes gone over the moral line by publishing private facts about public figures, should other gossip magazines be driven out of business by other deep pocketed celebrities as well? Should Hollywood band together and launch a thousand lawsuits against the National Enquirer and the Daily Mail and TMZ even if courts have ruled they broke no law? What about US Magazine and People? Where do we draw the line? Maybe your answer is “yes” to some of these questions. After all, a lot of people hate a lot of news outlets, from the New York Times to TMZ. So I have one more: when every outlet is forced out of business by one billionaire or another who took issue with a story or stories that they may consider distasteful or deplorable and should not have been published, how many sources of information will be left?

Rauner candidate slammed for governor’s prison reduction goal

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

ou might think that months of bipartisan cooperation on numerous criminal justice reform bills would make that particular topic off-limits for partisan campaigns this year. You’d be wrong. Gov. Bruce Rauner announced early last year that he wants the state to reduce its prison population by 25 percent over 10 years. He has since signed numerous pieces of legislation during the past year or so to help achieve that goal, including recently when he signed the marijuana decriminalization bill into law. For the most part, House Democrats kept their members who are targeted for defeat by Republicans off those bills. The move was both defensive (to protect their incumbents who represent tight districts from accusations that they are “soft on criminals”) and, as it turns out, offensive. “In southern Illinois, we value the safety of our neighbors, friends and families,” begins a recent TV ad by Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion. “So why would anyone want to weaken penalties for dangerous criminals? Dave Severin’s biggest supporter wants to let 25 percent of the state’s prisoners loose into our

By Bryant Jackson-Green

doesn’t mention any specific crimes committed by released prisoners. But there was hope in some circles that these sorts of ads would become a thing of the past in Illinois. A newspaper op-ed co-written by Sen. Kwame Raoul earlier this year cited poll results showing 74 percent of Illinoisans believe our criminal justice system is “broken.” “While some have questioned whether Gov. Rauner’s goal to reduce incarceration by 25 percent is politically achievable,” Raoul wrote, “it turns out that the voters actually support far-reaching policies that can make a real difference in reducing the number of persons held in Illinois’ prisons.” Indeed, another poll conducted recently for the Rauner-allied Illinois Policy Institute found that 56 percent of Illinoisans believe that the criminal justice system is “unfair.” (Ed’s note: See “Voters say now is the time to reduce prison populations” below.) And more than 80 percent said politicians should support criminal justice reforms “such as community supervision, mandatory drug testing and treatment programs—instead of prison—that reduce the likelihood the offender would commit a new crime.” “A generation of candidates for public office have come of age worried about being the subject of a ‘Willie Horton’ advertise-

ment,” Raoul wrote in that March 15 op-ed with Republican state Sen. Karen McConnaughay. “Now it seems that we have public support, political agreement and momentum on our side to fix our broken criminal justice system.” So, if this TV barrage is successful, will it halt the governor’s policy momentum? Raoul told me last week he hoped it wouldn’t. But, he warned, it “ain’t going to be easy” to pass more comprehensive legislation as it is, so he’s worried about the potential impact. Incumbents who are targeted for defeat are rarely part of a controversial “solution” in Springfield—and Bradley has most definitely become a target since Rauner’s election. The heavy lifting at the Statehouse is usually done by those who don’t have to worry too much about electoral opposition. Rauner’s vast cash reserves can help comfort wary Republicans, and it’s highly doubtful that “safe” Democrats will ever draw a primary opponent over an issue like this. Political organizations always use what works best in campaigns, and this issue apparently polls well enough to include it in a TV spot, so that just might give some folks pause if Bradley wins and the issue is successfully deployed in other legislative campaigns.

Voters say now is the time to reduce state’s prison populations

Illinois Policy

communities.” Severin’s “biggest supporter” is obviously Rauner, via his massive $11 million in contributions to the Illinois Republican Party so far this cycle. The state party has funneled much of that cash ($5.9 million as of last week) to the House Republican Organization, according to numbers compiled by Scott Kennedy at Illinois Election Data. Bradley’s opponent, Severin, reported raising just $9,335 in the second quarter, but HRO has been running ads on his behalf since early June. So the Severin campaign’s recent denial that its “biggest supporter” (which it claims is actually HRO) has no such position on releasing prisoners is nonsense. But its claim that Bradley’s ad is reminiscent of the infamous 1988 “Willie Horton” advertisement is pretty close to being true. Horton, you will recall, was given a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison and didn’t come back. In the meantime, he committed murder, armed robbery and rape. The Democratic presidential nominee in 1988 was Michael Dukakis, who was governor at the time of Horton’s escape. He supported the furlough program and was ultimately blamed for Horton’s rampage in a devastating ad that benefited President George H.W. Bush. Unlike the Horton spot, Bradley’s ad

n 2015, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner committed to reducing Illinois’ prison population by 25 percent by 2025 – a bold undertaking to address a costly system plagued with problems. Illinois had the most overcrowded prisons in the nation as of Dec. 31, 2014, and the state’s annual prison costs reached $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2015. Many of Illinois’ prison admissions have come from lower-level offenders – in fact, 55 percent of the increase in prison admissions between 1989 and 2014 was due to more individuals convicted of Class 4 felonies, the lowest level of felony, and mostly for nonviolent crimes. Reducing the number of nonviolent offenders in Illinois prisons might make perfect sense from a policy perspective, but how do

Illinois voters feel about the goal of reducing the state’s prison population? According to a recent poll on criminal-justice reform, a large majority of Illinois voters support this objective. In May, the Illinois Policy Institute commissioned Fabrizio, Lee & Associates to conduct a poll of 500 registered Illinois voters to gauge opinion on criminal-justice reform. Eighty-three percent of poll respondents support reducing the number of nonviolent offenders in Illinois prisons – including 92 percent of Democrats, 75 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Independents. One way to bring down the number of low-level, nonviolent offenders behind bars is to reduce the incarceration time for offenses. So pollsters asked voters whether they viewed sentences for nonviolent offenses as too short,

too long or just right. A plurality of respondents, 39 percent overall, believe sentences are too long. Roughly equal numbers – about one-fifth of respondents – said sentences were just right, too short or that they didn’t know. Responses here did differ somewhat by political affiliation. Democrats and Independents were most likely to say sentences were too long, while Republicans are most likely to think sentences are just right. Male respondents are slightly more likely than females to think sentences are too long. But that doesn’t mean Republicans are opposed to reform or that politicians can’t be seen as tough on crime while supporting reform. On the contrary, over 80 percent of respondents in all parties think politicians can be tough on crime and support crim-

inal-justice reforms “such as community supervision, mandatory drug testing and treatment programs – instead of prison – that reduce the likelihood the offender would commit a new crime.” Pollsters also asked how a political candidate’s support for reducing the prison population would factor into a voter’s support for that candidate – and found that 53 percent of respondents are more likely to support such a candidate, while only 9 percent of respondents are less likely. Responses show that Democrats, Republicans and Independents are all more likely to vote for candidates who support reducing the prison population. Illinois voters are saying they want something different in criminal-justice policy. Policymakers have a mandate to deliver.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: As the sun moves into Virgo, we will find ourselves in a more practical as well as productive mood. The annoying tasks that have been haunting us will be resolved effortlessly with this complementary energy. Mercury retrograde arrives August 30 and remains there until September 22. Many of you will feel this dynamic easier than others. You all know the drill by now. Be careful while traveling, check and double check messages and emails, back up your computer, and so forth. Mercury affects transportation, travel and communication. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Take stock in what you have, count your blessings, and embrace your responsibilities. Looking at loss will do you no good now. An upgrade in your career sector is evident at this time. Take advantage of this opportunity and let the powers that be know that you are up for the challenge. You will find a great amount of satisfaction with this new endeavor, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— You may need a checkup from the neck up because it appears as though everyone around you has gone stark raving mad. Retreat into your own realm and take some time to yourself. Physical activity will remove the stress that you have recently dealt with. Others give you the space you need; a love from your past returns, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your energy will begin to lift and emotions are shifting for the better. You have had some losses and challenges and your heart has been heavy. Expect a change for the better now. Romance is blessed with passionate aspects this week. Take advantage of this emotional windfall, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You will be hit with some very powerful emotions that you have been stuffing down over the past six months. Whenever we choose to avoid or mask these symptoms of grief, eventually it will come back to haunt us. If you have been one of the luckier Cancers and have done your work, you will find that this is a time to celebrate. In either case, your personal life is taking a big step forward now in the right direction. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — You may be curious as to why you have not heard from a certain individual as of late. Try not to assume that it has anything to do with you. They may be overwhelmed with personal issues that you are not aware of. When they are emotionally prepared they will surface as though nothing has happened; leave it alone and move forward. A work aspect is about to change for the better. Expect the best, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You’re beginning to feel like yourself again. Take an opportunity to make connections with friends and family. A new birth on a personal or professional level will remove the heaviness from your heart. Exchange energy with pure individuals at this time. A boys/girls night out may be needed soon. This will help you blow off some steam, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You may be feeling as though you’re spread a little thin and emotional at this time. You’re hanging on the edge and it isn’t a comfortable place to be. Expect a situation to work out as the universe intended. Sometimes it doesn’t always go the way we envision it. A romantic situation takes on a new form now, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You may need to offer some emotional or financial support to another this week. Either way, you end up on top as a result of this action. You’re hearing from a love from your past at this time. This helps to tie up loose ends for the future. Your new focus in love may have you questioning the motives of this individual. Leave it be for now. Focus on your long-term goals instead, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A self-employed or self-contracted work aspect opens new doors for you at this time. Embrace your confidence levels and allow them to work in your favor. Try to get out and about over the next weekend. Enjoy the company of those that you have not had time

for recently. This will do you a world of good in the long haul. An unexpected windfall arrives this week. At the 11th hour you’re back on track, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Try not to take the behavior of another too personal now; remember this has nothing to do with you, even if another tries to project it on you. Don’t take this emotional baggage on, you have enough of your own to contend with. Activity with legal aspects provides a light at the end of the tunnel. A breakthrough with career is evident at this time. Go for it, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You may have felt sensitive and insecure recently. Your intuition has played a major part in this situation. You may be worried about another’s health or emotional state. You will see a major change in this aspect shortly. A friend from your past will surface at this time. You will be delighted with the information you receive, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A family member may be helping you align your romantic sector. Try not to fight this so hard. It takes more energy to hide and block ourselves from companionship than it actually does to embrace and enjoy it. This isn’t as complicated as you’re making it out to be. Career moves and upgrades are on the forefront, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

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.

Voices from the Grave

The vicious jealousy of Joseph Maurice A By Kathi Kresol Contributor

t first no one paid much attention to the loud voices coming from the apartment on the southwest side of Rockford on February 3, 1929. The young couple who lived in the upstairs of the house on Wall Street fought quite frequently. They moved in shortly after their wedding on July 23, 1928 and their marriage was described as rocky by all who knew them. Their marital disputes all came from Joseph Maurice’s jealousy over his wife. Josephine was described as very beautiful. Joseph was 31-years-old and employed as a laborer at the Gas Company and Josephine, only 24, worked at a local factory. The neighbors became concerned when the loud voices turned into terror filled shrieks that were suddenly cut off only to be followed by the blast of a gun. Some of them ran for help while others rushed to the Maurice home. The police arrived to find the neighbors standing outside of the house. One neighbor, Mariano Markise, stepped forward to accompany the police into the building which was now eerily silent. The first thing that they noticed as they started up the stairs was a pool of blood about halfway from the top. They followed the blood trail up the stairs where they noticed a rocking chair at the top. The chair appeared

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city. “The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifacts. “The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.” This week, we catch a glimpse of the formation of Rockford the town in 1839.

to have been brought to the landing from the interior of the apartment. When they stepped into the little kitchen they were met by a horrific sight. Josephine was on the floor with her face covered in blood. A bloody knife lay on the table. Police were shocked to realize that the woman was still alive. She was rushed to St. Anthony’s hospital. The police continued through the rest of the apartment where they found Joseph’s body in the bedroom. He was on the floor in a pool of blood with a gun next to his left hand. It appeared that he had shot himself in the left ear. The police on the scene searched for

evidence while others rushed to the hospital where they hoped Josephine would be able to shed some light on what actually happened between her and Joseph. Their questions would have to wait, however. Josephine had life-threatening injuries and was in surgery when the police arrived to question her. In fact, Josephine’s injuries were so extensive it would be a full month before Coroner Julian could present all of the facts to a jury at an inquest. Josephine was the only witness as she described the events that had taken place on that cold February evening. Josephine testified that she went home after work and was met by Joseph. She could tell he was in a foul mood so she left to visit

nearby relatives. When she arrived home at 9 p.m. that evening, she was hoping that Joseph’s rage had cooled. That was not the case however, and she was startled to see Joseph sitting in a chair at the top of the stairs. Josephine started to climb the stairs. Joseph rose from his seat and walked down to meet her. They began to argue and Joseph followed Josephine into the kitchen where he suddenly grabbed a knife off the table and began to slash at her. Josephine would suffer nine different cuts to her face and neck, some running all the way from her forehead to her chin and others stretching from ear to ear. She also received defensive wounds on her arms and hands as she tried to protect herself from the murderous rage of her husband. Josephine lost consciousness and slumped to the floor. Believing he had killed his wife, Joseph walked into the bedroom, pulled his revolver from a drawer and shot himself in the head. He died instantly. Joseph’s funeral was held at St. Anthony’s Church and he was buried in the Catholic Cemetery. Josephine, who was once described as being so beautiful, was disfigured for the rest of her life by the wounds that her husband had carved into her face. Kathi Kresol is a local historian and author.

Business Sense

Politics and scams: Consumers beware P By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

olitical candidates aren’t the only ones working on convincing speeches during this election year. Some of the most creative smooth talk and soaring rhetoric is coming from scam artists. If you think Washington D.C. has problems keeping promises, wait until you encounter a scammer. Crooks would love access to your bank account, and they are using fake political justifications in attempts to do just that. Reports from around the nation indicate that plenty of scammers are taking advantage of the political season with their assorted schemes. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has some warnings for consumers who may be targeted by phone calls and emails from scammers this political season. Here are some of their favorite tactics. • Fake campaign fundraising: Crooks sometimes make random calls claiming to represent a political party, an election committee member or an actual candidate. Don’t fall for their request that you donate. Instead, ask for their contact information and try to reach them after hanging up.

The best idea is to research their party or their campaign office on your own and make your contribution (if they are a cause you support) through a legitimate campaign website. Tell them you’d prefer to do that when they first contact you. • Re-registration scams: Some consumers get calls from scammers who claim to represent an election commission. They will tell you (falsely) that you have to re-register if you did not vote in the last election. If you receive any call about your voter registration needing to be updated, hang up and call your local Board of Elections. • Election polling prizes: In some instances, scammers have called claiming to be surveying for a political party. They may ask legitimate-sounding questions. Then the victim is told that he or she is eligible to receive a prize for their participation. All you have to do is provide them with a credit card number to pay shipping, handling and/or taxes on the prize. This is fraud. No legitimate polling company offers prizes for your participation. • Tie-ins to causes: Also, respondents have been asked to donate to a controversial cause, based on their answers to the questions.

scammer chooses a specific cause that your answers have indicated you would support. Resist the temptation. Make your donations only after you have called an organization that you are sympathetic toward. Don’t trust any anonymous callers to be who they say they are. • Vote-by-phone scams: Scammers who claim to be giving you the opportunity to vote by phone, email or text message are fake. Such voting is illegitimate. These scams are often phishing attempts, trying to get your personal information. Hang up or delete the message. Con artists know you care about many different issues and they will try to get your money through your interest in those issues. Be alert for attempts to rip you off during this election year.

Off Topic – BBB Torch Awards for 2017

How often do you have a chance to say to a business, its owners and employees, you deserve special recognition? My guess is not too frequently – here’s an opportunity; nominations are now being accepted to honor exceptional businesses with the Torch Awards from the Better Business Bureau. These awards are presented annually to outstanding businesses

in recognition of their commitment to high standards in relationships with their customers, employees, suppliers, competitors, and the surrounding communities. Like the BBB Torch logo, the Torch Awards honor and help to illuminate the importance of a corporate conscience and the responsibility for creating a fair and honest marketplace. The Torch Awards nomination process is open to all for-profit northern Illinois-based businesses. Nominations can come from individuals or businesses. An individual may nominate the company he or she works for, owns or is affiliated with; as well as any company that individual does business with, or any company, which the nominating individual believes, meets the Torch Award criteria. A company can also be nominated by an organization (i.e., Chamber of Commerce, academic institution, ethics organization, trade association, etc.). For detailed information on judging criteria, go to bbb.org/chicago/torch-awards. You may also e-mail me at dhorton@chicago.bbb.org. Deadline for completed entry is September 30. Dennis Horton is Director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

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

With cooler morning temperatures feeling like fall this week, you are probably wondering when area orchards will be opening. In fact, many of them are opening up this week with early apple varieties. Since not all apples mature at the same time, you’ll mostly find the early season ones available. There are many apple varieties on the market and in fact, you’ll find varieties at orchards you will not find in the grocery store. Honeycrisp is a very popular variety developed by the University of Minnesota. Most orchards grow this apple and you’ll find it available towards the end of September. If you want to grow Honeycrisp, keep in mind that it has a lot of disease problems with Apple Scab and Fireblight. It can be quite finicky. We saw some Fireblight this season on backyard orchards. As the name denotes, it looks like part of the tree has been engulfed in flames. Proper pruning and sanitizing your pruners between trees is the best way

to control this devastating disease. If you are visiting an orchard, you’ll see that most apple trees are fairly short. Most growers are using a root-stock that allows for the apple tree to be dwarf or semi-dwarf in height. Dwarf trees reach 8-10 ft while semi-dwarf will reach 12-15 feet. A root-stock means that the root is different than what is growing above ground. These two varieties have been grafted together and you’ll see this fusion on the tree. Bud 9 is a popular root stock as it is cold tolerant. You can purchase varieties with this root-stock. Apple trees require pruning. Whether they are younger or older trees, you need to do seasonal pruning each year. You want to wait to prune until the winter when the tree has entered dormancy as the lack of leaves will aid in effective pruning. If you have inherited older apple trees, it may take at least three-or-more-years to restore the tree into productive shape. Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

The Dearly Departed Sisters loved microwaves when they first came out. Our acquisition of an Amana “Radar Range” was a big deal.

Kinda sparky it was, yes, actually, really sparky.

Evaluating corn and soybean storage moving into autumn By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The current USDA projections indicate that U.S. corn and soybean supplies will be record large for the 2016-17 marketing year that begins on Sept.1. The corn supply (production, carryover stocks, and imports) is projected at 16.909 billion bushels, 1.512 billion bushels larger than last year’s supply and 1.43 billion bushels larger than the record large supply of two years ago. The soybean supply is projected at 4.346 billion bushels, 201 million larger than the record supply of last year. “These large supplies are on top of a record large wheat supply totaling 3.417 billion bushels, 500 million larger than last year’s supply and 299 million larger than the record supply of 2012-13,” says University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good. “Such large corn and soybean supplies might be expected to result in issues with handling and storing the 2016 harvest. In turn, potential storage constraints might point to a weak harvest time basis and large spreads (carry) in the futures market. This is certainly what has happened in the hard red winter wheat market.” Current basis in western Kansas is generally quoted around -$1.20 per bushel while the carry from September 2016 to May 2017 futures has been trading at about 50 cents per bushel, or about $0.056 per month. Average basis in the soft red winter wheat market in west southwest Illinois is stronger, at about -19 cents, but the September 2016 to May 2017 spread is nearly 54 cents, or 6 cents per month. In contrast, Good says harvest bids for corn and soybeans generally reflect a relatively strong basis, although conditions vary a lot from region to region. At interior elevators

in south central Illinois, current harvest time corn bids reflect an average basis of about -25 cents per bushel. That is slightly stronger than the basis at this time last year and about 10 cents stronger than that of two years ago. The carry from December 2016 to July 2017 futures is about 25 cents per bushels or only about $0.0325 per month. For soybeans, current harvest time bids in south central Illinois reflect an average basis of about -$0.245 per bushel. The basis is about 8 cents stronger than at this time last year and about 10 cents stronger than that of two years ago. The soybean futures market is mostly inverted, with the November 2016 to July 2017 carry at -6 cents per bushel. “The relatively strong corn and soybean basis and small or negative carry in the futures market in the face of U.S. corn, soybean, and wheat supplies that exceed supplies of a year ago by more than 2.1 billion bushels is somewhat surprising,” Good says. Good offered the following explanations. First, a stronger-than-expected basis may reflect the industry’s good track record of handling large supplies with the use of temporary storage facilities for corn. With generally ample handling and interior storage facilities (permanent and temporary) the speed of harvest and transportation bottlenecks would be the major threats to the strong basis levels moving through harvest. Second, relatively strong export demand may be supporting the basis and reducing the carry in the futures market. Weekly corn export inspections have been in the range of 45 to 50 million bushels over the past two months. In addition, unshipped sales for the current marketing year total 265 million bushels and outstanding sales for the 2016-17 marketing year are at 398 million

THE BEST

bushels, compared to 222 million on the same date last year. Weekly soybean export inspections have been much larger than is typical for this time of year, ranging from 26 to 37 million bushels per week for the most recent five-week period. Unshipped sales for the current marketing year total 176 million bushels and outstanding sales for the 2016-17 marketing year are at 564 million bushels, compared to 384 million on the same date last year. The strong export pace primarily reflects the shortfall in the most recent South American harvest. Third, the relatively small carry in the corn futures market and the inverse in the soybean futures market may reflect expectations of larger corn and soybean crops in South America next year, as such expectations might pressure deferred futures prices. The USDA projects combined corn production in Brazil and (mostly) Argentina in 2017 to be 790 million bushels (21 percent) larger than in 2016. Soybean production is projected to increase by 260 million bushels (5 percent). “Average harvest time bids for soybeans in south central Illinois are near $9.90 per bushel, above the upper end of the range of the U.S. average farm price projected by USDA for the 2016-17 marketing year,” Good says. “The

relatively high price, strong basis, and inverted futures market discourages storage of the 2016 crop. For those who anticipate even higher prices, ownership in the form of futures or basis contracts is likely much less expensive than commercial storage, and may be less expensive than using existing on-farm facilities. “For corn, average harvest time bids in south central Illinois are near $3.17 per bushel, near the mid-point of the range of the U.S. average farm price projected by USDA for the 2016-17 marketing year,” Good says. “Modest harvest time bids and some positive carry in the corn market makes storage of the 2016 crop more attractive than storage of soybeans. For example, if the average basis in south central Illinois strengthens to about -10 cents by late spring 2017, as it has the past two years, the market is offering about 40 cents per bushel to store corn from harvest to late spring next year.” According to Good, with storage space limited in some areas this year, producers may not be able to store as much of the corn and soybean crop as desired. While basis levels and seasonal basis patterns vary from region to region, the corn market is offering a better opportunity for positive storage returns than is the soybean market.

The troubling disparities plaguing America’s National Parks

By Jenny Rowland ThinkProgress.org

A new analysis, released Monday, finds that low income communities and communities of color in the West have, on average, less remaining open space and natural area nearby than the state average. The environmental justice analysis done by Conservation Science Partners in conjunction with Center for American Progress used GIS analysis of data from the Census Bureau and the Disappearing West, a project that mapped the human footprint in the West.

The study finds that nearly 84 percent of communities of color and 80 percent of low income communities in the West live in areas where the amount of natural area is less than the state average, compared with just under 60 percent of non-minority and 61 percent of non-low-income tracts. This data comes at the beginning of a week celebrating the centennial of the National Parks Service, or NPS. All week, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and other senior Obama administration officials will be traveling the country to promote public lands and

commemorate the 100th anniversary. Their travels will, in part, highlight the importance of increasing diversity and inclusion in the park system. On Tuesday, for example, Secretary Jewell was in Arkansas to tour Little Rock Central High School National Historical Site and discuss “the importance of preserving a more complete story of America’s history, including the struggle for civil rights,” and on Wednesday she will be in California at César E. Chávez National Monument, designated in 2012 by President Obama, to “recognize the increasingly diverse makeup of American communities,” according to a press release. A group of 27 senators also highlighted this issue in a July letter asking President Obama to issue a Presidential Memorandum to promote diversity at federal land management agencies. “Americans represent an array of cultures, ethnicities, and traditions. These differences have shaped our nation’s identity and should be reflected within our national parks’ leadership, workforce, and educational outreach,” the senators wrote. “When visiting America’s public lands, our youth – who grow increasingly diverse every year – should feel inspired when seeing someone of their same ethnicity, gender, or cultural background represented in the history of the stories they hear and the people from whom they learn.” The NPS and other public land management agencies have struggled with engaging a more diverse set of visitors and supporters. A 2009 survey by NPS found that 78 percent of park visitors were white, while only 9 percent were Hispanic, 7 percent were African American, 3 percent were Asian, and 1 percent were American Indian/Alaska Native, well below their representation in the U.S. population. According to NPS records, nearly 80

percent of the agency’s employees are white. A January 2016 Hart Research Associates poll found similar disparities between those in different economic circumstances. According to the poll, 39 percent of Americans with annual incomes below $40,000 reported visiting a national park in the past three years. However, that number shoots up to 59 percent and 66 percent for those with incomes from $40,000 to $75,000 and over $75,000, respectively. The analysis released by the Center for American Progress on the distribution of natural areas among communities of color and low-income communities further emphasizes the work that needs to be done to make parks and public lands more inclusive and accessible to all Americans. The CAP report makes three policy recommendations to help address these environmental justice challenges: 1) Create more parks and monuments that tell the history of diverse groups; 2) Increase the opportunities for frontcountry recreation and preserve lands for underserved communities; and 3) Engage underserved communities in decision about development, conservation, and the expansion of outdoor recreation opportunities. Recent national monuments, like the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, which is just a 90 minute drive from a majority-Latino Los Angeles, seek to increase outdoor access to urban and underserved communities. Local campaigns to designate places like Bears Ears and the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage as national monuments aim to create more sites that more accurately documents the diversity of the people, cultures, and beliefs responsible for shaping American history.

Cubs bullpen shows life By Cat Garcia Contributor

fter a long series at Wrigley Field, the Cubs wasted no time getting back out on the road to begin their ninegame, ten-day road trip in Colorado. The Cubs lost their first series of the second half to the Rockies this weekend, with Friday’s contest being a fluke loss after a lengthy rain delay. The Cubs lost Friday’s game on the back of new closer Aroldis Chapman’s second blown save as a Cub and third of the season. Chapman had been used in four games in a row, including both games of last Tuesday’s double-header, and admitted to suffering some fatigue as the reason for his unsuccessful outing. There certainly is no shortage of talent when it comes to young Cubs superstar Kris Bryant, but on Thursday, Bryant truly reminded Cubs fan just how deep that talent runs. During a 9-6 win over the Brewers at Wrigley Field, Bryant went 5-for-5 with two home runs, and was just a triple short of the cycle on the day. On a less fortunate note, Cubs starter Jason Hammel got rocked on Sunday during his start in Colorado. The Cubs allowed 10 runs to score in the first four innings, however not all was at the fault of Hammel, who only was credited with six earned runs during his outing, which lasted just 3.1 innings – his shortest outing of the season. The Cubs had four errors on the day. The Cubs bullpen seems to have found its groove lately, and is now receiving an abundance of help with Travis Wood and Chapman facing fatigue, as well Rondon and Strop on the disabled list. Particularly impressive was reliever Rob Zastryzny during his Cubs debut. Zastryzny appeared in Friday’s game, successfully pitching two innings of two hit, one strikeout ball. Coming in for relief during Sunday’s

Rob Zastryzny has given the Cubs some much-needed solid innings out of the bullpen and has reportedly worked himself into talks for postseason roster consideration. MLB.com

blowout game was when Zastryzny really had a chance to impress though, and he did nothing short of that. Pitching just 2.2 innings, Zastryzny struck out five, walked one, and allowed just two hits. The Cubs will finish their road trip out west with the Padres before an off day on Thursday and the team’s final trip to Dodger Stadium this season beginning on Friday. The Cubs then return home to Wrigley Field for a three-game set against the Pirates and a fourgame set against the San Francisco Giants. • On the south side, things continue to roll on. White Sox Executive Vice President Ken Williams seems optimistic about the team’s future, stating at a golf outing earlier this week that the White Sox will eventually get themselves together. “We’ve got to get some things together,” Williams said. “As everyone knows by now, we started off very well. Unfortunately, things kind of unraveled and we lost some key members of our bullpen which didn’t help and kind of spear-headed that unraveling.

But we’ll get it together and come out of this swinging.” The White Sox are returning home from a road trip against the Cleveland Indians, of which they lost two games of a three-game set, and the Oakland Athletics’, whom they won two of a three-game set with. The disabled list on the south side still is quite populated, as second baseman Brett Lawrie has had a minor setback during his rehab stint in Birmingham and was pulled from a game last week for further evaluation. Meanwhile, catcher Alex Avila began his rehab assignment in Charlotte, and went 3-4 during his return to action on Monday night. The White Sox announced Monday morning that they have reinstated outfielder Avisail Garcia, who was on the 15-day DL, and have optioned outfielder Jason Coats back down to Triple-A Charlotte. As we are quickly approaching September call-up time in baseball, keep an eye on White Sox first round draft pick Zack Burdi, who is likely due for a call up soon. Burdi has been working in Triple-A Charlotte, and has pitched seven innings with 13 strikeouts. Burdi has walked just three batters and not allowed an earned run during his time with the Triple-A club. The White Sox began their homestand Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field after an off day on Monday. They will close out a two-game series against the Phillies on Wednesday evening before taking on the Mariners for a four-game set this weekend, beginning tomorrow.

When the smoke clears Evaluating the Frazier trade as another season goes up in flames By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

he Todd Frazier trade probably seems pretty disappointing right now to White Sox fans. Despite being headed toward a career-high in home runs with 31 in the bank already, Frazier is also dealing with a career-high 24 percent strikeout rate. Scores of infield pop-ups have cratered his batting average to a potentially career-worst .212. Those struggles have dragged his on-base rate below 30 percent despite commendable patience at the plate, and defensive metrics have not loved how his play at third has held up during his age-30 season. To put things in a worse perspective, David Freeze, the 33-year-old former World Series hero, waited until March 11 to sign a deal for

a fraction of what the already very affordable Frazier is pulling in for his work this season, and is outperforming him. Freese is hitting .276/.355/.437, and the Pirates are so pleased with his work at third they announced to a two-year extension with him Monday, and did not have to yield Trayce Thompson and Frankie Montas for his services. Drawing unfavorable comparisons to bargain bin signings is not what the Sox envisioned for their Opening Day cleanup hitter, but that is where half the trouble lies. Frazier came to Chicago with the billing of an All-Star third baseman – a Home Run Derby champ fresh off a season where he launched 35 bombs with revered defense – but he was never meant to be anchoring a playoff-worthy offense. Frazier has batted sixth for most of this month as some sort of acknowledgement of his troubles, but in a good offense, that’s his ideal home. Coming into 2016, Frazier had a career line of .257/.321/.463, good for a 113 by FanGraphs’ weighted runs created plus (wRC+), meaning 13 percent above average. Other offensive metrics, such as Baseball Prospectus’

true average (TAv), which values power a bit more than FanGraphs’ measurement, have a rosier view of Frazier, but tell roughly the same story: a good hitter; not a great one. Frazier’s 2016 is certainly disappointing but he is not having unreasonably bad campaign for a 30-year-old of his skill level. His power is still very much there; he’s striking out more but also walking more; his defense may have taken a step back, but has been more than adequate considering the Sox broke camp with Conor Gillaspie last season. Most of all, while Frazier is popping the ball up more, his .213 batting average on balls in play screams of a fluke and he could easily snap back to his typical career numbers next season, or from here on out. He’s not setting the world on fire, but unlike Adam Dunn or Adam LaRoche, Frazier’s not killing the Sox either. Nor does he deserve to lose his job. Health woes have kept Montas and Thompson from providing any clarity about how much of their potential they will realize, but they’re the type of risky prospects who would get moved for a team reaching for

a starting-quality third baseman to raise their floor in a year where they are trying to compete. But a real attempt to compete this season required the Sox to do more. Instead of a being a cog in a competitor, Frazier was positioned as the savior. Until Justin Morneau arrived after the All-Star break, there were no free agent bats more worthy of middle-of-the-order billing than Frazier brought in, no bigger trades were swung, and any assessment of what the Sox did to improve their offense began with him. As the Sox head toward their fourth-straight season with a below-average run total, their struggles have proven to be larger than one occasional – but not perennial – All-Star failing to max out his potential. With a Chris Sale-Jose Quintana-Adam Eaton core in place, adding Frazier to help was not a mistake, but in failing to build out a complete roster, the Sox were able to placed him in a situation where it looked like one.
