Special Report

2015 the year of the twister A record number of tornadoes have struck northern Illinois this year, and experts say we have to be ready for more.

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

A

scene long more familiar to residents of the area’s vast farmlands has hit home in 2015.

But thanks to advance warning techniques and the work of meteorologists on TV and behind the scenes, an up-tick in tornadoes has not seen a rise in fatalities.

April’s tornado, which struck Rochelle and Fairdale leaving two dead in the small town, was the only storm responsible for any deaths in Illinois this year, and also the strongest tornado seen in the U.S. during 2015.

That tornado, a high end EF-4 storm with winds topping out at 200 mph, highlighted the importance of not ignoring early warnings to area residents.

“Youcangothroughquietyearsandthenyou get an active year,” says Dr. Greg Forbes, Severe Weather Expert with The Weather Channel.

“But a storm like Fairdale is rare enough that it doesn’t happen from one year to the next.”

While nationwide tornadic activity is down around 22 percent from the average, northern Illinois has seen 29 twisters already this year, eclipsing the record of 27 set in 2004.

Experts say the random nature of tornadoes makes it appear as though a certain area is being targeted by the storms like the one that devastated Fairdale.

“It was Oklahoma, it was Alabama, and now, after Fairdale, it looks like it could be here,” WIFR Channel 23 meteorologist Aaron Wilson said.

The April 9 tornado tore a path over 30 miles long, from Franklin Grove to farmland just northwest of Kirkland. Experts say had the storm hit a more densely populated area the death total would likely have been much higher.

A legacy of storms

Northern Illinois is of course no stranger to such deadly twisters. The 1967 storm which spawned the Belvidere tornado, before moving on to touch down again near Oak Lawn, saw 58 deaths in one afternoon.

That storm, like the one that ravaged Fairdale, came in April, the peak month for tornadoes across the state.

“Part of it is where we’re building homes now,” says Wilson. “A lot of this used to be open land, but now you’ve got houses there that can end up in the path of something like this, even if it didn’t this time.”

Coupled with the 1990 Plainfield tornado–formed from a supercell that produced a short-lived twister near Pecatonica–which claimed 29 lives, those two storms account for over 75 percent of tornado-related deaths in northern Illinois since 1950.

Now, 25 years on, the twister that struck Plainfield remains the only EF-5 rated storm in the month of August ever seen in the U.S. “The advantage we have now over then,” WLS ABC7’s Tracy Butler told the Times Tuesday, “is being able to get the message out quicker. It’s not just TV–it’s Twitter, it’s Facebook, it’s being able to reach people and let them know much faster that saves lives.”

All three storms came in the mid- to late-afternoon, the peak time for tornadic activity, and, experts say, the most dangerous due to people leaving work and school.

“In the late afternoon,” remarked Amy Seeley, meteorologist with the National Weather Service (NWS) Chicago Forecast Office, “you have rush hour traffic, you have people coming and going. And you have to stay alert, because this kind of storm can really happen any time.”

Don’t wait to take cover

Meteorologists emphasize the importance of early warnings and seeking shelter in the path of storms that look likely to produce a tornado.

“It’s always a priority to let people know as soon as you can,” Butler said. “You want them to have all the information in this situation that can help them.”

Wilson recounts a story he heard from a survivor in Fairdale.

“This man, he told me how he came home, took off his blue jeans, put on a pair of shorts and grabbed an ice cold beer out of the fridge, and then saw our newscast and went straight to the basement with his family,” he said.

“He found his blue jeans in a tree a couple days later with his wallet still in them.”

The Times talked with a resident just an hour after the storm who stood on his back porch listening to the reports and took cover as the wedge appeared on the horizon, crossing I-39 near Lindenwood Road.

“I could see it coming,” he said the night of April 9. “It was huge.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard about it, but I knew it was coming, and I knew we needed to get downstairs right then.”

“One of the biggest advantages since 1990,” says Mike Bardou, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with NWS Chicago, “is the advent of mobile devices, be they cell phones or tablets or computers.”

He says advancements in weather radio transmitters has also played a crucial part for the region.

“At the time of Plainfield, there were only two transmitters in this part of the state; now we have 11.

“The ability to reach just about anybody through a variety of means–you can’t put a price on it.”

“Twenty years ago, you had maybe three minutes,” says Forbes.

“Now we can give people 10 minutes, 12 minutes–that can be the difference between someone surviving or not.”

An EF-2 twister which struck Cameron, southwest of Galesburg, July 16 cut off power to the town’s tornado sirens within seconds of touching down, leaving residents who rely on the 1960’s-era warning system helpless against the coming danger.

Just the day before the Fairdale tornado, an editorial in this paper warned against waiting for the sirens to sound–meant only to alert persons outside at the time–before taking cover.

“You can’t rely on any kind of myths about where these things hit,” says Forbes, “and you can’t rely on a siren. If the power goes out, you might not hear it. If you’re in your car or the TV is on in your living room, you might not hear it.”

“It’s tough to gauge,” says Bardou, “but people having access to all this information, it’s night and day from 20 years ago.

of Rochelle in only 30 minutes.

In a little over an hour from its initial formation it produced a half-mile wide wedge tornado that tore through Ogle and DeKalb counties, with countless people trying to record the storm on their phones.

“That sort of thing is dangerous,” Forbes said. “Here at The Weather Channel, we had a situation with (the 2013 El Reno, Oklahoma) tornado where a team of our storm chasers lost their lives. Even people who do this for a living can be in harm’s way.”

He says that the only safe distance from a tornado is one that provides shelter, and that people should never try to chase after one, no matter how far away it appears.

Early warnings save lives...

People share these warnings on social media, so that means it’s coming from a reliable source in their eyes, from a family member or friend.”

“It’s all a matter of how you communicate that information that’s so important,” Butler added. “If you see a situation that’s going to be particularly dangerous you have to let people know that as soon as possible and as many ways as possible.”

Forbes agrees: “You need to have a weather radio, you need to have something on your cell phone. If not, you’re going to be in danger.”

The storm that spawned April 9’s tornado grew aggressively from a small rain shower near Atkinson into a violent supercell southwest

More than four days in advance of the Fairdale storm, NWS warnings called for severe weather with a likelihood to produce damaging winds and hail, and the possibility of tornadoes.

On the morning of April 9, a special weather bulletin warned of “significant” (EF-2 or stronger) twisters, using language similar to that issued in the Oklahoma City area prior to a 2013 tornado which struck Moore, killing 24 people.

The current Tornado Warning guidelines, first launched in 1965, have regularly been updated over the years, allowing outlets to target specific cities instead of highlighting entire counties.

“There’s a lot we learned in those 25 years to Plainfield” says Bardou, “and a lot more in the 25 years since. We’re becoming better versed with what the atmosphere is capable of.”

“There’s always going to be skeptics,” says Wilson. “There’s always going to be folks saying you’re trying to scare, or that you’re trying to bump up ratings.

“You just hope that people don’t listen to that and think that we’re trying to cry ‘Wolf!’ on the air.”

By 2:30 p.m. a Tornado Watch had been issued for much of northern Illinois following the first confirmed twister on the ground, an EF-1 just outside Peoria.

At 6:39 p.m. the tornado that would eventually ravage Fairdale was spotted just a mile outside Franklin Grove. At 7:02 p.m.–as it crossed the junction of Highways 64 and 251 north of Rochelle and 10 minutes prior to reaching Fairdale–NWS released this bulletin: “SEVERAL REPORTS OF A LARGE WEDGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND.” Just moments later it would strike the town, killing neighbors Geraldine Schultz, 67, and Jacklyn Klosa, 69. It injured a further 22 during its lengthy trek.

Energy & Environment

Small town energy and economic visions

By Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

C

ommunities throughout the country are discovering the economic advantages of using energy wisely.

The city of Bloomfield, Iowa, has set a goal to be energy independent by 2030. Currently the city, like so many other rural cities, purchases all of its electricity from external sources. Bloomfield ‘s vision is to create a new foundation for prosperity through local energy innovation. Developing local energy sources will not only save residents money, it is the basis of their economic development plan.

Chris Ball, the Energy Efficiency Director or Bloomfield, revealed during his keynote presentation at the Fourteenth Annual Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fair how a small, rural town took on such a bold goal by taking small steps in the right direction, gradually wading into energy independence. Some fortuitous events, including Bloomfield’s participation in a Rocky Mountain Institute workshop helped the town leaders gain confidence in the new venture. In some cases, energy was a surprising, but welcome side benefit of other local improvements. For example, rebuilding crumbling sidewalks provided an opportunity to replace power lines.

The project continues to expand. Seniors from Iowa State University’s department of electrical and computer engineering plan to study the City of Bloomfield’s grid and its ability to support distributed energy generation sources.

Ball recognizes that their program is one of gradual changes. Bob Dixson, Mayor of Greensburg, Kansas, keynoter for last year’s Fair, shared how his town, ninety-five percent demolished by a tornado in 2007, seized disaster to rebuild. It is now an outstanding example of renewable energy sources and green building. Town leaders travel to share their ex-

periences with others to inspire them to rebuild their own communities.

Economic development projects in other areas, rather than depending on the usual exchange of tourists, are discovering the advantages of effective energy management.

Through energy challenges and requirements, energy efficiency is becoming recognized as a valid development tool. The EPA recognized Woodville, Alabama, for achieving its energy reductions. Large cities can also benefit. Salt Lake City’s Mayor’s Skyline Challenge, a competition to meet and exceed energy saving and air quality goals, has resulted in tremendous progress in energy efficiency. The program provides both information and tools for creating energy plans.

Atlanta’s new energy requirements are expected to create 100 jobs a year for the first several years and significantly reduce carbon emissions while meeting the goal of reducing commercial building energy consumption 20 percent by 2030.

Plans can be large or small. MidAmerican Energy Company will replace over 100,000 Sioux City, Iowa, street lights that it owns with LEDs. The City of Sioux City will convert city owned lights.

Sauk County, Wisconsin, is considering accepting proposals from installers to add solar electric panels to county buildings. Third-party investment will not involve any taxpayer money but will save on county energy bills.

Buildings initially include the Baraboo Jail, a county run nursing home and the County Highway Department facility.

Cities and towns, especially small towns, can be revitalized by following the lead of those who boldly moved toward energy progress.

Major sponsors of the Fair were the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, The Rock River Times and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.

Farming

Making sure your autumn garlic sprouts

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

Many people who want to grow garlic forget that garlic needs to be planted in the fall. The reason for this is that garlic requires a long growing season and needs to overwinter. By planting in the fall before the soil freezes, this gives the garlic the right amount of time to reach maturity by the end of June.

Garlic is in the Allium family which includes onions, shallots, and leeks. The entire garlic is called a bulb while they actual pieces of garlic are the cloves. The cloves are what you will find as seed garlic in the stores. As the clove grows during the season, it will fully develop into the garlic bulb.

There are a wide range of garlic varieties out there. Some varieties are better for Italian or Asian cooking. Some varieties may have a greater heat level to them. When deciding on a garlic variety, you want to choose a hardneck type. Hardneck types grow best in our climate while Softneck garlic grows better in warmer climates. Recom-

mended varieties for our area include Music, Carpathian, Spanish Roja, among others. If you know vegetable growers in your area, talk with them about the varieties that they grow. They may be able to sell you garlic to grow.

Sometimes backyard growers will use garlic from the grocery store to plant. This is not recommended as most of the time this garlic is the softneck type and will not grow as well as if it was a hardneck variety. You also do not know what the variety is.

When planting garlic, plant each clove double its height. The garlic clove should be planted as it appears in the garlic bulb with the bigger part facing downward. Space garlic cloves 3-6 inches apart. Garlic needs to be mulched with about 6 inches of heavy straw or leaves. This will protect the garlic as the colder temperatures and snow set in. In the spring, you do not need to remove the mulch as the green tips of the garlic will grow past the mulch.

With these garlic growing tips in mind, you are now in the right time frame to plant garlic until the soil freezes.

Corn and soybean exports finishing out strong

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The 2014-15 marketing year for corn and soybeans ended on August 31. Final estimates of total consumption during the marketing yearandthemagnitudeofyear-endingstockswillbe revealed in the USDA’s Sept. 1 Grain Stocks report, which is scheduled to be released on Sept. 30.

According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, in some years that report contains a revised estimate of the previous year’s soybean crop. “Such a revision would not be surprising this year given the large magnitude of implied residual use during the first three quarters of the marketing year.”

The estimate of total marketing-year exports of corn and soybeans will be available with the Census Bureau estimate of August exports to be released on Oct. 6.

“Export data currently available indicates that marketing-year exports were likely modestly larger than USDA projections in the August World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Soybean exports were projected at 1.825 billion bushels in that report, but cumulative marketing-year export inspections as of August 31 totaled 1.832 billion bushels,” Good said. “Cumulative Census Bureau export estimates through July exceeded export inspections by 12 million bushels. If that margin was maintained through August, marketing-year exports totaled 1.844 billion bushels, 19 million bushels larger than the USDA August projection.”

Good said that exports finished the year on a very strong note. In July 2015, exports totaled almost 40 million bushels, about double the exports of July 2014.Exportsduringthefinalquarterofthe2014-15 marketing year are projected to be near 111 million bushels, about 53 million more than exported during the final quarter of the previous year.

The USDA August WASDE report projected 2014-15 marketing-year corn exports at 1.85 billion bushels. Cumulative export inspections at the end of the year, August 31, were estimated at 1.777 billion bushels. However, cumulative Census Bureau export estimates through July exceeded export inspections by 84 million bushels.

“If that margin was maintained through August, marketing-year exports will total 1.861 billion bushels, 11 million bushels larger than the USDA Augustprojection,”Goodsaid.“CornexportsinJuly 2015 totaled 200 million bushels, the most for that month since 2009 and the second most since 1979.

Exports during the final quarter of the marketing year are projected to be near 522 million bushels, only about 20 million bushels less than during the final quarter a year ago.”

According to Good, exports of ethanol and distillers grains were also large in July 2015. Ethanol

exports were reported at 77 million gallons, the second largest for that month following the record exports of 2011. Canada was the largest destination for exports during July, accounting for 30 percent of total exports. Other significant importers included South Korea, Philippines, India, China, Peru, Brazil, and Mexico. Exports during the 2014-15 corn marketing year will fall short of the record 1.1 billion gallons of 2011-12, but will exceed those of last year.

During the 2013-14 corn marketing year, ethanol exports totaled about 800 million gallons. With one month remaining in the 2014-15 marketing year, exports had already reached 817 million gallons.

July exports of distillers grains were reported at 1.5 million short tons, the third consecutive record-large monthly export total. China continues to be the largest importer of distillers’ grains, accounting for 68 percent of total exports during July.

Mexico was the second largest importer, followed

by South Korea and Vietnam.

Good said, “With only one month remaining, exports of distillers grains during the 2014-15 corn marketing year appeared likely to fall only fractionally below last year’s record exports, even though exports during the first half of the year were limited by Chinese import restrictions associated with biotech issues.

“Although old-crop corn and soybean exports finished the year on a fairly strong note, the pace of export sales for the 2015-16 marketing year still remains sluggish,” Good said. “As of August 27, the USDA reported that 274 million bushels of corn had been sold for export during the marketing year that began Sept.1. That is one third less than the magnitude of new-crop sales a year ago. The pace of new sales remains below that needed to reach the export forecast of 1.85 billion bushels. As of August 27, the USDA reported that 494 million bushels of soybeans had been sold for export during the marketing year starting Sept.1. That is 38 percent less than the magnitude of new-crop sales a year ago. However, the pace of sales accelerated during the last two weeks of August, averaging 55 million bushels per week and well above the pace needed to reach the export forecast of 1.725 billion bushels.

There is still some concern that export forecasts for both corn and soybeans may still be a little too optimistic,” Good said.

The USDA will update old-crop corn and soybean consumption estimates and new-crop supply and consumption estimates in the September WASDE report to be released on Sept. 11.

“The projection of old-crop year-ending stocks of both corn and soybeans may be lowered a bit, but not by enough to measurably alter the supply and demand balance for the 2015-16 marketing year,” Good said. “A reversal of the recent price weakness would likely require September production forecasts to decline from the August forecasts.”

Vibe Entertainment Screw City returns to downtown

By Nate Johnson Columnist

This Saturday, 2000 beer fans will converge on Rockford’s Main Street District to celebrate the fifth annual Screw City Beer Festival. What has become one of Rockford’s most popular events will take over the State and Main area with plenty of beer, live music and local food vendors.

Unfortunately for those without tickets, the event sold out within hours of going on sale, but there are other opportunities to celebrate the festival.

The Olympic Tavern will be holding their SCBF pre-party on Friday from 11 a.m. on, with a pair of the much-desired VIP tickets being given away at 10:30 p.m. Besides a number of rarities being on draft for the day, there will be a 5 p.m. tapping of a special collaborative brew from Pig Minds (having teamed with Artale Wine, Kryptonite, Freeport’s Generations Brewing, Rockford Brewing Co. and the Olympic) called Hexhead, an oatmeal IPA. For those who were not fortunate enough to get tickets during the original on-sale, the Olympic will be selling two pairs of general admission tickets Wednesday and Thursday nights. Two names

will be drawn at 10 p.m. each evening, and the winners will have the opportunity to purchase at original face value.

At the festival site, Kryptonite will be holding their own pre-party on Friday starting at 5 p.m., featuring music from Too Deep and Swingbilly RFD. Needless to say, there will be plenty of special treats being tapped as well.

The festival itself will run from 1-5:30 p.m., with a 12-1 p.m. session with special tappings for VIP ticketholders. Visit SCBF on Facebook at SCBeerFest for the latest updates, or the most current listing of breweries, visit screwcitybeerfest.com.

Art Fair a fall tradition since 1948

By Anne E. O’Keefe

Rockford Area Arts Council

The oldest continuously run art fair in the Midwest, Rockford Art Museum, Greenwich Village Art Fair, began in 1948. There was a forerunner to the annual outdoor art fair in 1934, deemed the “sidewalk exhibition on Rockford’s riverfront,” noted at the time for being the first event of its kind in any city its size between both coasts,” from the essay in the book RAM 100: Rockford Art Museum, 1913–2013.

One of the most indelible memories in my 40 years of attending is Digby Myhre, (1927-1998), perhaps it was because I hadn’t seen work like his before. His work was also well-known in the Chicago art Scene.

His work was in a show at the Chicago Tribune building in 1952. “These 50 pictures, which represent the cream of the 3,400 which the contest attracted, will be found to exploit all of the expected and many of the unexpected beauties of this favored part of the country,” Chicago Tribune. His piece, “City” was in the Chicago Artists Exhibition in 1958.

Event Chair, Scott Prine, has been at the helm of this event for 13 years. Alpine Bank has been a stalwart supporter for 22 years and there are many others who have contributed to its success.

“The Greenwich Village Art Fair is a community tradition that brings friends and neighbors together in an art filled setting. It has been a very satisfying

journey to keep the fair viable and see it prosper along with all of the downtown activity,” said Prine.

The 135 artists were chosen by an independent panel of three members of the community with an interest and background in visual art. The judge for the day of the show, is always a professional with an academic arts background and from outside of the community so as to remain unbiased. This year’s judge is Thad Duhigg, a sculptor and art professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. A Rockford native, he is represented in the RAM Permanent Collection as the recipient of the 1994 Jessica Holt Purchase Award. He will be awarding in three categories on Sunday of the show; Best of Show at $1,000, six Judge’s Choice awards at $500 each and five honorable mentions at $100 apiece.

The “Creations by Kids,” area is another time honored and beloved feature of the GVAF. This year there will be six activities for the budding artists.

The nominal fee of just $1 per activity or you can get a bonus activity when you purchase all six for just $5. This is a great way to introduce children to their own creative process amidst world-class artists. They can be inspired as they stroll through the avenues of art created by artists from our community and from across the country.

Greenwich Village Art Fair wouldn’t be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who produce an outstanding experience. There are 122 volunteers over the two days just in the “Creations by Kids” area. See you at the “Fair.”

2015 the year of the twister TORNADO From Page 5

“Some of these Tornado Emergency messages are really stepping up the urgency level,” said Forbes. “Improvements in those long- range forecasts are better than they have been in the past, than they were when Plainfield happened.”

Many around the country credited effort’s such as WREX’s “Project: Tornado,” a severe weather preparedness program in area schools put on by channel 13, as preventing further deaths from the catastrophic storm.

“No doubt in my mind that the WREX project saved lives during the April tornadoes,” former NBC13 meteorologist Eric Sorensen, now with the Quad Cities’ WQAD, told the Times in July.

“These things are going to happen,” warns Bardou. “It’s a matter of when–not if, so it’s having a plan in place and knowing what you’re going to do with your family or your business.”

“It’s one of those things,” says Butler, “if you teach children at school how to react, how to develop a plan, then they bring that knowledge home to the parents. It’s a very powerful thing.”

...data gathered can save even more

Experts say that changes in climate will continue to bring the chance for more deadly twisters to the area. Six of the top-10 years for tornadoes in northern Illinois have come since 2008.

This year alone, a June 22 outbreak, which saw the Woodhaven Lakes campground and Coal City take heavy damage, produced 10 tornadoes.

Another in August produced a series of twisters in the southwest suburbs of Chicago.

Such outbreaks were seen as rare occurrences in the area prior to the past decade, but some feel that the ability to gather data on the storms has led to the increasing numbers reported.

“That up-tick is perhaps part of more being documented,” Butler said. “Years ago, we didn’t have this kind of information available.”

Scientists say the information collected from each passing event is invaluable when it comes to predicting future storms.

“Meteorology is a fairly young science,” Bardou comments. “We’re still learning why one storm creates a tornado and another one doesn’t. On a day like Fairdale, even a couple days out, you can see the hints for a significant system and as you get closer you can see how and where the threats pan out.”

“In 1990, we didn’t have Doppler Radar to be able to see inside these storms,” said Forbes. “Now, it’s given us a chance to develop new tools like TOR:CON, which takes data from the NWS and breaks it down even further to create more concise warning areas.”

“It’s extremely interesting to study major events like this using radar data,” wrote meteorologist Dennis Mersereau, author of The Extreme Weather Survival Guide and writer for Gawker Media’s The Vane blog, in the aftermath of Fairdale.

“It’s mind-boggling that we’re able to look inside

of a thunderstorm and tell what kind of precipitation it’s producing, the size and shape of the objects within the storm (whether it’s rain, hail, or tornado debris), and use the velocity of the objects to determine the wind speed and direction within the storm.”

And he warns that these types of storms should not be taken lightly, even if you escaped unharmed.

“Use the time before the next outbreak to make sure you’re prepared for a natural disaster, no matter what it is or where you live.”

“Let’s face it,” Wilson said, “if that tornado had made it into a series of subdivisions–had made it to Kirkland or Belvidere–we’re looking at a lot higher casualty total than we already had.”

Bardou says the open spaces of northern Illinois is beneficial to identifying these powerful tornadoes via radar, giving them more time to warn persons in their path.

“Different parts of the country, you see terrain– be it mountains or river valleys–that can impact what you see on radar. Thankfully, we don’t have many of those constraints around here, so it’s easier to spot on the screen before someone sees it on the ground.”

“These storms are not some kind of lark you should take on fearlessly,” Forbes reinforced. “A tornado should be feared, and it should be respected.”

For many, the 2015 tornado season will be a warning well-heeded for what is to come in northern Illinois.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Sept. 9-15, 2015

This Week: This week should remain stable and relatively quiet regarding planetary activity. We might as well take advantage of this while it lasts and get those mundane tasks out of the way now. September 17 smacks us with another Mercury retrograde and on the same day Saturn returns and plants itself firmly back into Sagittarius until December 19, 2017. Hidden influences come to light and sunny Sagittarius will make good use of this hard labor, good pay for a job well done planetary influence. Saturn is the taskmaster and teacher of the universe aligned with Sagittarius, we should notice the next two years becoming quite productive. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — This week may start out getting on your last nerve but it will definitely surprise you as it ends on a positive note.

You will be asked to collaborate on a creative project that is very near and dear to your heart, yet some of those involved may have you a little bit uneasy at first. Remember, your voice in the community is held in the highest regard. With that said, take your collaborative role with pride and dignity. You will be in a position to teach and enlighten others, whether you like it or not Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Romance may

need to be looked at with a little more scrutiny at this time. You may be missing a very important point or overlooking someone that has been very prominent in your life. Love finds its way when the timing of things are in perfect order, this is becoming the time frame when things are very clear. Open your heart to opportunities presented now Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Finances may be a little tight at the beginning of the week, but as this week unfolds you will see the pressure release and you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You may have your eye on a specific item that you have been considering purchasing for quite some time now.

You will see that this will become a reality by year’s end. We must always remember to pay ourselves first for our hard work and effort, the rest always falls into place Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — This week may start off trying your patience with the actions of others. Try to consider the fact that others are only trying to help and don’t really mean to interfere with your progress. Some loved ones may be concerned with your health and may push an issue of wellness at this time. You’ve been burning the candle at both ends and it’s time to take care of your needs as well.

Listen closely to the observations of others, they may be dead on Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Time to go to blows with someone that you have been avoiding for quite some time now. The more you avoid this the more complicated this becomes, the more outside influences get involved and the more nonsense it creates.

Call an arm-wrestling match if you must but get it out on the table now. You may be pleasantly sur-

prised to find the outcome is much more productive and healing than you imagined it could be Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Balance is the key to a harmonious lifestyle. If you have been stuck in a rut, take the appropriate action, you need to get the ball rolling. Surrounding yourself with the same old people, places and stagnant activity isn’t helping anyone other than those that want you to stay in their mindset. A connection you make in the weeks to come will pan out in your favor in 2016. Watch for it Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — New people, places and faces promote a higher energy level within.

Let go of dead-end situations from your past at this time, they only stand in your way of emotional growth. Surprising information arrives regarding a legal situation that puts you in the driver’s seat. Friendships and romantic options look very promising at this time. You’re beginning to develop relations that will stand the test of time Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Now is the time to make that major purchase you’ve been considering for quite some time now. You can trust that your finances will continue to flourish. If you have activated a savings plan recently you can feel confident enough to put a little bit more into your investments without feeling pinched. An unexpected surprise midweek leaves you feeling extremely loved and cherished Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — This is a fabulous time to expand your goals and begin new projects. Regardless of the pending Mercury retrograde that will arrive September 17, you will continue to flourish during the second half of this year. Many

of you have set romantic options on the way back burner. I’m certain you have your reasons for doing so, however; once Saturn plants itself firmly back into your sign, which is also September 17, the air will clear and so will your romantic vision, I promise Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Positive outlay of cash provides fabulous returns at this time.

Investing in yourself is your best action now. You will see the results of your hard work and effort shortly. Until then, manifest your hopes, dreams and ambitions to the reality stage in your mind’s eye. Romance throws you a humorous curve at week’s end. Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Walk wide of those negative individuals that continue to pick the scabs of others at this time. Surrounding yourself with happy thoughts and low maintenance beings midweek allows time to catch up with friends and loved ones. The tension that was in the air weeks prior to this will dissolve in the days to come Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Your intuition is dead on this week regarding a career opportunity you aligned with in the recent past.

Follow up on the extended energy and go for it .

Many of you will be experiencing a shift within your household that may leave you feeling a little off center midweek. Remember, this creates room for more growth and development in the weeks to come. Unexpected news arrives from a long distance source. Keep this to yourself until you receive the rest of the story Pisces.

Commentary

Why some countries are doing more to help refugees

By Tim Hatton

agreeing that EU countries should offer protection to genuine refugees, and a similar share thought that asylum seekers should be distributed more equally across member states.

But people only express such support for providing asylum when it is explained to them that refugees are people fleeing from situations owing to a “well-founded fear of persecution”. Surveys show that people are overwhelmingly opposed to illegal immigration. Unfortunately the term “asylum seeker” has increasingly conflated these two things. As a result, widely held humanitarian instincts have been overwhelmed by the strong desire to clamp down on illegal immigrants.

N

University of Essex

ot since World War II has Europe faced a refugee crisis comparable with the situation unfolding at its borders at the moment. The European response has been, to put it mildly, ambivalent.

On one hand there has been a mass outpouring of sympathy in the media and in public debate for the refugees fleeing nightmarish situations in Syria and Iraq. On the other, elected governments have not come up with solutions that seem remotely equal to the task. The circumstances are extreme but the pattern is nothing new. The EU has struggled to get member states on board for a system of burden sharing.

Germany is taking in up to 800,000 refugees but even faced with mounting pressure at home, British Prime Minister David Cameron could only bring himself to make a vague promise about doing more. In a speech on September 4, he pledged to help “resettle” thousands more refugees, but made no firm commitment to easing access at the UK border. Meanwhile, countries in Eastern Europe continue to close their borders and seek to unburden themselves of the people arriving in their towns.

Most people would like to see innocent refugees and their families find sanctuary, safe from the threats of death and persecution. This stems from humanitarian motives and not from narrow self-interest. We can therefore think of refugees who gain protection as what economists call a public good.

Public goods are things that have a non-rivalrous and non-excludable benefit. Non-rivalrous means that the good feeling I get from knowing that refugees have a safe haven does not diminish the warm glow that you get from it.

Non-excludable means that, supposing refugees were given protection, then neither you nor I could be excluded from the satisfaction that it would bring.

There are costs for the country accepting refugees though. They are financial and probably

Making it work

social too. So there is an incentive to sit back, let other countries do the heavy lifting, and reap the benefit of their efforts. But if every country does that then very little heavy lifting gets done. In the absence of some higher authority to determine each country’s contribution, the public good will be under-provided and we may all be worse off.

It is a classic collective action problem.

The common system

For two decades the EU has been developing a common asylum system. This has focused on harmonising various components of asylum policy, but not on burden-sharing between member states. The preference has been for countries to voluntarily offer places for refugees at times of crisis rather than to enforce a more binding allocation system. That is, until now. In May the European Commission called on every member state to take in a certain number of refugees, according to their individual capacity.

Richer, larger countries would be asked to take more, smaller, less wealthy member states would

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

be asked to take fewer.

The scheme is not binding though, and it has been impossible to get all countries to commit even to the modest numbers proposed. Instead Germany has led the way while many of its European partners sit on the sidelines – an example of what Mancur Olson, doyen of collective action, dubbed “the exploitation of the great by the small”.

There is reason to think that some of the problem lies with governments, not their electorates.

Political leaders would be reluctant to cede control of asylum policy to a central authority like the EU, for fear of loss of sovereignty. Yet surveys of public opinion find that more than two-thirds of Europeans are in favour of a shared EU migration policy. So this might not be quite such a hurdle as is sometimes imagined.

Of course it is possible that most people don’t actually care about refugees and that the public outcry is just a vocal minority. In that case the original premise would be wrong. But it is not.

A 2011 survey saw four-fifths of respondents

This makes it all the more difficult to come up with a more magnanimous asylum policy.

People would need to be reassured that those given protection in their country were genuine refugees. Two complementary policies are required.

The first is to make further efforts to stop illegal immigration across the borders of the EU. Europe’s Fortress Europe approach to controlling movement is often derided as heartless and reactionary. But it is necessary in order to reassure citizens that those arriving in their country are truly in need of protection and not “economic migrants” entering by the back door.

It must be seen as the means to gain support for more places for genuine refugees, not as a way of shutting them out.

The second is to support and expand reception centres closer to the sources of conflict where the status determination process can take place. Then those that qualify as genuine refugees could be transferred to Europe, distributed more widely and in greater numbers among EU countries. This would ensure that accepted refugees are those in the greatest need and not those who would otherwise be rejected and end up as a residue of illegal immigrants.

None of this is easy, but surely it is worth the effort.

We shouldn’t look away from Aylan Kurdi’s image

By Nicholas D. Mirzoeff

The power of looking

L

New York University

ast week, an image of a drowned refugee child became an icon before our eyes.

Of all the photographs of this crisis, why did this one finally allow us to truly see these human refugees in the deluge of images that surround us every day?

The photograph that made the front pages worldwide could not be simpler. A man in uniform stands slightly hunched as if he cannot bear to raise his head. We feel his shame. In his arms is a small child. So utterly still is the child, held horizontally, that we know at once that he is dead. His arms are unnaturally straight, and we realize the body is in rigor mortis.

The photograph has the sharp focus, depth of field, wide angle and saturated color that says “news.” It was taken by Nilufer Demir of Dogan News Agency, after she made sure that there was nothing that could be done for the child. Demir felt she had a responsibility to make sure the “silent scream” of the body was heard through her images.

We see unbearable loneliness. It sears its way into our memory, instantly unforgettable.

The world now knows that the child was three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, a refugee from Kobane in Syria. This town has been heroically defended by its Kurdish residents against ceaseless attacks from the terrorist group ISIS. Photographs of the town look like European cities after World War II. Nothing but rubble.

We can open our eyes to this photograph because it reminds us of images we know well.

Such iconic images carry the power of the sacred. The posture of the policeman, Sergeant Metmet Ciplak, who carries Aylan’s body, unconsciously echoes one of the key icons of Western art.

Echoes other icons

Known as the Pietà, meaning “pity,” this frequently explored motif depicts the Virgin Mary holding the body of Jesus, after he was taken down from the Cross. Perhaps the best known example is Michelangelo’s 1499 sculpture in St. Peter’s.

That unconscious recognition, regardless of our religious beliefs, allows the photograph

to get past the deflecting shell that we have all developed in today’s image-dominated world.

This shell allows us to survive both the constant stream of ads and the endless depictions of suffering.

Once seen, the photograph calls to mind other such sacred moments.

Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother (1936) shows migrant farm laborer Florence Owen Thompson and her children in California. Evoking the Holy Family on the flight into Egypt, this photograph has come to symbolize the Great Depression.

No history of the Vietnam War is complete without Nick Ut’s 1972 Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph “The Terror of War.” The photograph shows Kim Phuc, a nine-year-old Vietnamese girl, running down the road naked because she had torn off her burning clothes after a napalm attack. The title is almost unnecessary, so stark is the image.

Not so well remembered today is that news organizations debated whether to print “The Terror of War” because of the young girl’s nudity.

Similar debates, seen and unseen, have coursed around the picture of Aylan Kurdi and other drowned refugees.

Off and on Facebook

A similar but invisible debate over refugee images has just happened on Facebook. On August 29, anonymous pictures of drowned refugees on the coast of Libya were posted by the Syrian artist Khaled Barakeh. He called the album of these seven photographs of drowned refugee children “Multicultural Graveyard.” It has been shared over 130,000 times.

The album disappeared from Barakeh’s Facebook wall on August 31. Most, but not all, of the shares also were deleted. No explanation was offered to any user. When Barakeh objected to Facebook, his album was restored, at first without its title, about a day later.

Did Facebook’s mysterious algorithm delete them by accident? Or does Mark Zuckerberg employ Filipino tech drones to delete offensive content for $300 a month, as Wired reporter Adrien Chen has suggested?

With nearly one billion users, Facebook is not just any website. It is the public square for the digital era. Who decides what should be seen there and why matters. And we saw why just a few days later.

When the pictures of Aylan followed, they had the authority of the Reuters news agency and were not deleted. Most commenters on social media, on blogs and in newspaper articles supported showing them. A vocal minority was against it, mostly in online comments.

Some viewers suggested the photograph might traumatize viewers. Most media outlets posted a warning regarding the “graphic” nature of the image. In fact, nothing violent can be seen. Even in the terrible picture of Aylan Kurdi lying on the beach, less often reproduced, the boy is fully clothed and no injury can be seen. Perhaps his very wholeness is what is so upsetting.

Others alluded to cultural sensitivities in non-Western societies. Certainly there are cultures where the sight of the dead is taboo.

In this case, Abdullah Kurdi, Aylan’s father was quite clear: “We want the whole world to see this.”

Sixty years ago this same week, a young African-American man named Emmett Till was murdered and thrown into the Mississippi River for allegedly whistling at a white woman. His mother Mamie Till Mobley also wanted the world to see. She displayed his broken body in an open casket. Only Jet magazine and the Chicago Defender newspaper, both targeting African American audiences, dared print the photographs.

Today, she is credited with inspiring the Civil Rights Movement.

If that parallel holds, this photograph of Aylan Kurdi may also be seen someday as the beginning of a new political reality.

The alternative was foreshadowed by Marine Le Pen, leader of the French extreme-right National Front. In a speech given less than a week after it was taken, she described the photograph as a “sinister project” of what she termed the “Washington-Berlin” axis.

An estimated 2,643 people drowned in the Mediterranean before Aylan Kurdi, his brother and his mother this year. The best memorial for him would be for us to keep looking at his picture until the world sees refugees, simply, as people.

Civil lawyers make more working the system

By Craig Chamberlain U of I News Bureau

CHAMPAIGN — Civil courts are where many people meet the legal system, dealing with life-altering issues like foreclosure, bankruptcy and child custody.

It’s likely no surprise that those with attorneys – often a small minority – are much more likely to see a better outcome compared to those representing themselves. But according to a new study in a leading sociology journal, the difference is significant, even “spectacular.”

More surprising, perhaps, is that lawyers’ deep knowledge of the law explains little of their impact in these kinds of cases, says study author Rebecca Sandefur, a University of Illinois professor of sociology and of law. Most of it comes instead from other kinds of expertise: assisting with relatively simple procedures, as well as navigating the relationships involved in getting things done.

“Lawyers go to law school for three years, they

study lots of cases, they learn a lot of law. You would think that that’s what would make a difference,” Sandefur said. “But for this set of problems, what lawyers seem to do that makes a difference is understand how to move paper around, and show up at what office at what time, and phrase things in the magic words that law understands.”

They also often keep courts honest just by their presence, Sandefur said. Courts with large caseloads, such as many immigration and eviction courts, often become “lawless” in not following their own procedures or rules of evidence, she said.

The government, landlord or other institution usually has an attorney, but the individual rarely does.

“When a lawyer shows up on those cases, it makes everyone stop and think that maybe this case is different … and maybe we should actually use the law while we’re making this decision,” she said.

Sandefur’s article in the journal American Sociological Review is a study of studies, or a meta-analysis, that takes in 17 previous studies conducted

over more than four decades, representing about 18,000 cases. It was published online this week and will appear in the journal’s October issue.

Because the studies Sandefur looked at were of various designs and were conducted in different times and places, she had to compare broad ranges of outcomes rather than specific numbers. But she concludes in her study that the impact of lawyers in civil cases is “potentially very large” and “spectacular when compared to lay people’s attempts at self-representation.” The evidence suggests, she writes, that “expanding access to attorneys could radically change the outcomes of adjudicated civil cases.”

The problem, however, is that giving everyone an attorney “is completely impractical and too expensive for any nation in the world to fund,” Sandefur said. One alternative is to figure out what lawyers are doing that makes a difference and doesn’t require law school and find other ways to provide it, she said.

FAMILIAR FACES GET NEW NFL ADDRESSES IN 2015

BY GEORGE DICKIE @Gracenote

The Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said that “change is the only constant in life.” Surely he could have made that observation about the NFl, too.

Player movement in the league has been brisk since the New england Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl xlix in February. And a lot of it has happened to the defending champs themselves.

They’ll be on display when they open the 2015 season at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Sept. 10, on NBc. As the Pats come into the 2015 season, they’ll be without the services of their two-time MvP quarterback Tom Brady, suspended for the season’s first four games after failing to cooperate with investigators probing the deflation

Jacksonville at Baltimore, 1pm CBS Detroit at Green Bay, 1pm FOX Miami at Philadelphia, 1pm CBS Cleveland at Pittsburgh, 1pm CBS Chicago at St. Louis, 1pm FOX Dallas at Tampa Bay, 1pm FOX Carolina at Tennessee, 1pm FOX New Orleans at Washington, 1pm FOX Minnesota at Oakland, 4:05pm FOX Kansas City at Denver, 4:25pm CBS New England at NY Giants, 4:25pm CBS Arizona at Seattle, 8: 0pm NBC MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16 Houston at Cincinnati, 8: 0pm ESPN Byes: Atlanta, Indianapolis, San Diego, San Francisco WEEK 11 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19 Tennessee at Jacksonville, 8:25pm NFLN SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 Indianapolis at Atlanta, 1pm CBS St. Louis at Baltimore, 1pm FOX Washington at Carolina, 1pm Denver at Chicago, 1pm CBS Oakland at Detroit, 1pm CBS NY Jets at Houston, 1pm CBS Dallas at Miami, 1pm FOX Green Bay at Minnesota, 1pm FOX Tampa Bay at Philadelphia, 1pm FOX Cincinnati at Arizona, 4:05pm CBS San Francisco at Seattle, 4:25pm FOX Kansas City at San Diego, 8: 0 NBC MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23 Buffalo at New England, 8: 0pm ESPN Byes: Cleveland, New Orleans, NY Giants, Pittsburgh WEEK 12 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26 Philadelphia at Detroit, 12: 0pm FOX

of footballs during last season’s AFc championship game. While the loss of the 38-year-old Brady is tough, what could prove disastrous for the Pats are the departures of key defensive cogs Darrelle revis, Brandon Browner, Kyle Arrington and vince Wilfork. Their dominance of the AFc east may be over.

The obvious beneficiaries of any Pats’ backslide would be the New York Jets, who signed revis and former Arizona cardinal Antonio cromartie to form what could be the league’s best defensive backfield; and the Buffalo Bills, whose myriad offseason moves – among them the addition of Pro Bowl rB leSean Mccoy – make them a very interesting team.

The St. louis rams may have made the steal of the year when

Carolina at Dallas 4: 0pm CBS Chicago at Green Bay, 8: 0pm NBC SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29 Minnesota at Atlanta, 1pm FOX St. Louis at Cincinnati, 1pm FOX New Orleans at Houston, 1pm FOX Tampa Bay at Indianapolis, 1pm FOX San Diego at Jacksonville, 1pm Buffalo at Kansas City, 1pm CBS Miami at NY Jets, 1pm CBS Oakland at Tennessee, 1pm CBS NY Giants at Washington, 1pm FOX Arizona at San Francisco, 4:05pm FOX Pittsburgh at Seattle, 4:25pm CBS New England at Denver 8: 0 pm NBC MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30 Baltimore at Cleveland, 8: 0pm ESPN WEEK 13 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3 Green Bay at Detroit, 8:25pm CBS/NFLN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6 Houston at Buffalo, 1pm CBS San Francisco at Chicago, 1pm FOX Cincinnati at Cleveland, 1pm CBS Baltimore at Miami, 1pm CBS Seattle at Minnesota, 1pm FOX Carolina at New Orleans, 1pm FOX NY Jets at NY Giants, 1pm CBS Arizona at St. Louis, 1pm FOX Atlanta at Tampa Bay, 1pm FOX Jacksonville at Tennessee, 1pm CBS Kansas City at Oakland, 4:05pm CBS Denver at San Diego, 4:05pm CBS Philadelphia at New England, 4:25pm FOX Indianapolis at Pittsburgh, 8: 0pm NBC MONDAY, DECEMBER 7 Dallas at Washington, 8: 0pm ESPN WEEK 14 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10

they swapped injury-prone, underachieving QB Sam Bradford and a draft pick to the Philadelphia eagles for Pro Bowl QB Nick Foles and two picks. Foles may have fallen off some last season from his impressive 2013, but he’s certainly worth more than a QB who has had two torn Acls in two years. Score a few GM of the Year votes for the rams’ les Snead.

Also very active over the past eight months have been the New Orleans Saints, who missed the postseason in 2014 with a 7-9 record. With QB Drew Brees entering his late 30s, the Saints needed to switch to a more run-oriented offense, so they traded away All-Pro Te Jimmie Graham, Pro Bowl G Ben Grubbs and Wr Kenny Stills and brought in All-Pro c Minnesota at Arizona, 8:25pm NFLN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13 Atlanta at Carolina, 1pm FOX Washington at Chicago, 1pm FOX Pittsburgh at Cincinnati, 1pm CBS San Francisco at Cleveland, 1pm FOX New England at Houston, 1pm CBS Indianapolis at Jacksonville, 1pm CBS San Diego at Kansas City, 1pm CBS Tennessee at NY Jets, 1pm CBS Buffalo at Philadelphia, 1pm CBS Detroit at St. Louis, 1pm FOX New Orleans at Tampa Bay, 1pm FOX Oakland at Denver, 4:05pm CBS Dallas at Green Bay, 4:25pm FOX Seattle at Baltimore, 8: 0pm NBC MONDAY, DECEMBER 14 NY Giants at Miami, 8: 0pm ESPN WEEK 15 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7 Tampa Bay at St. Louis, 8:25pm NFLN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 NY Jets at Dallas, 8:25pm NFLN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20 Kansas City at Baltimore, 1pm CBS Houston at Indianapolis, 1pm CBS Atlanta at Jacksonville, 1pm FOX Chicago at Minnesota, 1pm FOX Tennessee at New England, 1pm CBS Carolina at NY Giants, 1pm FOX Arizona at Philadelphia, 1pm FOX Buffalo at Washington, 1pm CBS Green Bay at Oakland, 4:05pm FOX Cleveland at Seattle, 4:05pm FOX Denver at Pittsburgh, 4:25pm CBS Miami at San Diego, 4:25pm CBS Cincinnati at San Francisco, 8: 0pm NBC MONDAY, DECEMBER 21 Detroit at New Orleans, 8: 0pm ESPN

Max unger, Pro Bowl rB c.J. Spiller and Pro Bowl cB Brandon Browner.

These moves could be a revelation or a disaster. Only time will tell.

As if he didn’t have enough weapons, indianapolis colts QB Andrew luck gets another in bruising five-time Pro Bowl rB Frank Gore.

We pity the defenses that have to try to contain this attack.

Expert: after 50 years, Medicare needs major update

By Phil Ciciora U of I News Bureau

CHAMPAIGN – The pillars of most Americans’ retirement plans both celebrated milestones over the summer, with Social Security turning 80 years old and Medicare turning 50.

Medicare’s 50th anniversary provides an occasion for a serious checkup of one of the federal government’s most popular programs – one that is pivotal to the retirement security of older Americans, but also is showing its age. According to a University of Illinois retirement expert, updating Medicare to make it more “consonant” with modern health care and the needs of today’s seniors is long overdue.

Even after the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, paying for health care in retirement is confusing and costly because the fundamental structure of Medicare is essentially unchanged from its mid-1960s origins, argues Richard L. Kaplan, the Peer and Sarah Pedersen Professor of Law at Illinois, in a recently published paper.

“When Medicare began in 1965, the government

basically copied the major medical insurance plans that private employers of the day provided,” said Kaplan, a nationally recognized expert on U.S. elder law and retirement issues. “Typically, those plans covered hospital stays and short-term recuperation in a nursing home. That was part A, which is funded by the payroll tax.”

Eventually, policymakers recognized that other costs, like doctors’ fees, were driving up retirees’ medical expenses. So, the alphabet soup of additional Medicare parts was added.

“As a result, people who are new to Medicare are confused by the convoluted nature of the program,” Kaplan said. “Medicare looks very different from employer-provided health insurance or even the typical Affordable Care Act insurance policy.”

Apart from Medicare’s byzantine array of coverage options, the program doesn’t limit outof-pocket expenses – a potentially serious financial pitfall for retirees, Kaplan said.

“No one would buy an off-the-shelf health insurance policy with that kind of cost exposure, which is why private Medigap supplemental insur-

ance policies have flourished,” he said. “We’re now enjoying the benefits of longer lifespans, but one of the consequences is that people are developing more chronic diseases. Those ailments usually entail ongoing expenses that seniors end up paying for themselves.”

Kaplan’s paper makes two general recommendations to update Medicare: transform it into a comprehensive, single-source program like the policies that dominate the private health-insurance market, and cover long-term care for chronic illnesses or disabilities.

“The separation of important medical expenses into distinct programs while ignoring the reality that people are living longer than they did in 1965 and developing age-related dementias is an accident of history that should no longer define Medicare’s future,” he said.

Medicare also should acknowledge the changes in nursing homes that have taken place over the past half-century and cover expenses in those facilities comparable to its coverage of hospitalization costs, Kaplan said.

“Take a smoker who develops emphysema versus someone who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Medicare pays almost all of the smoker’s health care costs and virtually none of the care expenses for the Alzheimer’s patient,” he said. “It defies logic for Medicare to discriminate on the basis of disease and to further discriminate in favor of the disease that might have been prevented by different lifestyle choices.”

But any changes to Medicare would likely encounter serious political resistance because many retirees are familiar with Medicare’s odd structure and have accommodated themselves to its peculiarities, Kaplan said.

“Nevertheless, Medicare is enormously important not only to older Americans, who are its direct beneficiaries, but also to younger people who anticipate becoming beneficiaries in the future or appreciate its coverage of their older relatives’ medical expenses,” he said. “It both needs and deserves a serious update.”

The paper was published in The Elder Law Journal.

As GOP and Dems clash, advocates say weakest continue to hurt

By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — Like many before it, a legislative hearing Tuesday on the impact of Illinois’ budget impasse included a good deal of blame-laying between Democratic legislators and the Republican governor’s office.

Still, there doesn’t seem to be much disagreement on where the hard edge of the impact is landing — on those least equipped to deal with it.

“There’s no ambiguity about who’s bearing the brunt of the consequence, and that’s people who have the least voice in the political process and who are the most vulnerable,” said Sen. Daniel Biss, chairman of the Senate Human Services Committee.

“It’s really a situation that all of us should find deeply, personally unacceptable and that we need to resolve quickly,” said Biss, D-Evanston.

Tim Nuding, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget director, said the governor’s office is doing all it can, but the burden remains on the Legislature to pass a balanced budget.

“We’re doing what we can do with tools we’ve been given to manage toward a balanced budget,” Nuding said.

The panel’s Democrats didn’t warm to the idea the budget mess was entirely on the Legislature or particularly on majority Democrats.

“I just find it kind of unhelpful and it sort of makes my teeth hurt to hear this consistent effort

to throw the hot potato of blame around when, in fact, there is no possible resolution to these these problems that exists exclusively in the executive or legislative branches,” Biss said.

Although he nodded in recognition of Biss’ point regarding a three-branched government, Nuding said it was disingenuous for Democrats to say the governor could have simply crafted a workable budget by applying his veto pen to an underfunded Democratic spending plan.

Rauner’s simply using his power as governor to rewrite certain lines or to reduce certain amounts wasn’t going to get the job done, Nuding said.

“That’s a myth,” Nuding said, explaining that neither math nor the law nor the General Assembly as it is now constituted would allow for such an easy answer.

“To sit there and make a characterization that we could have solved this problem simply with the veto pen — that is just not accurate,” he said.

Well into the third month of its new fiscal year and operating without a budget, Illinois is spending at a clip that could see expenditures outstrip revenue by $5 billion or more.

The only large piece of the fiscal year 2016 budget made law this spring was the budget for primary and secondary education.

The rest of the spending is is attributable to continuing appropriations, such as debt service and pension payments, and to spending demanded by consent decrees and court orders.

“The courts in many ways are running our

government because the Legislature has failed to pass a balanced budget,” Nuding told the Senate committee.

Democrats shot back, saying Gov. Rauner has his own role in the standoff.

“This governor has blended something that has put everybody at odds,” said Sen. William Delgado, D-Chicago.

The committee also released a copy of a letter from Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger, who informed members that state is carrying a bill backlog of nearly $6 billion.

“In the Comptroller’s Office — even without a budget — we are currently paying about 90 percent of our financial obligations through court order, consent decree, statutory continuing appropriations or non-appropriated funds,” Munger wrote.

The committee also took testimony from

several service providers and advocates for the disadvantaged.

“The hardest part about my job is I have to look into these parents’ eyes daily as I evaluate their children, and I have to reassure them that we’re going to do everything in our power to help their children,” pediatric physical therapist Jaimie Passaglia told senators.

“But because of this lack of funding, we’re not going to be able to do that (early intervention work) much longer, and these kids will not get better without these services. I’ve seen it happen.”

She told senators she wasn’t asking for “feel-good funding. What I’m asking is you make an investment in the state of Illinois that will be returned manifold as these children grow up and become taxpaying citizens.”

Voices from the Grave

The unsolved murder of Rockford High School teacher Cordelia Gummersheimer

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

W

T I O N INOIS

N

hen Sarah Burr and Marie Dobbins couldn’t reach their friend Cordelia Gummersheimer on Sunday afternoon, they weren’t really all that concerned. The three were teachers at Rockford High School and had made plans for dinner on Sunday, December 8, 1929. They knew Cordelia was always busy.

Besides her teaching position in the language department of the high school, Cordelia also tutored students and worked as an interpreter for local business men who dealt with foreign countries. She was fluent in several languages.

Cordelia was not originally from Rockford but had been teaching at the high school for eight years by 1929. She had grown up in Belleville, Illinois before for attending Knox College in Galesburg. In 1916, Cordelia, who her family described as always ready for adventure, traveled to Puerto Rico to teach languages there. During GENESEO the summer months, Cordelia attended the University of Wisconsin where she was working on her master’s degree. She took her studies and A Svery S O seriously C I A T I Oand N was well her teaching position liked by her students and co-workers. Cordelia was also known to be a free spirit. She had put

her studies on hold during the summer of 1928 when she traveled with a tour group to Cuba to act as an interpreter.

Cordelia had a very optimistic outlook and seemed fearless to the other single female teachers at Rockford High School. She shrugged off their concerns about living alone in the Grantway Apartments at 516 West State Street.

She liked her little home with the bed that folded down in the combination living room and bedroom. Cordelia slept with the window open even after her friends stressed for her to use more caution. The window was easily accessed from the back porch with stairs that led to the street.

So it was not until the late afternoon on that Sunday, December 8, that her two friends really began to worry. They finally grew concerned enough when they couldn’t reach her by 7:30 p.m. They decided to contact another co-worker in the building, Miss Alice Walker. Walker let them in the building and all three women knocked on Cordelia’s door. When they got no answer, they went out the back door that led toA Sthe where they noticed that the S O back C I A T Iporch ON window apartment was wide open.

realized. Cordelia was stretched across the bed, dressed in a pink silk nightgown, with her head in a pool of blood.

Police officers, members of the Sheriff’s Department, the coroner Walter Julian and even the State’s Attorney William D. Knight all arrived at the scene.

It was the beginning of what would become one of the most intense and baffling investigations ever conducted in Winnebago County.

There was no easy motive determined at the scene. Cordelia was not sexually attacked and she still wore her engagement ring and had other valuables in the apartment that were not taken thus eliminating robbery as a motive.

The murder weapon was a three-foot piece of pipe that was found on the foot of Cordelia’s bed. The pipe that was used in the attack was determined to have come from a box of pipes kept outside a plumbing shop located at the rear of the apartment building. The killer grabbed the pipe, climbed two flights of stairs, raised the window that was left slightly open, and slipped in the apartment where Cordelia was sleeping on her left side. Cordelia had apparently fallen asleep reading a book by the light of the bedside lamp that was still on.

The coroner’s autopsy would show Cordelia

had been struck three times with the pipe.

One blow above her right eye, the other two blows fell back further by her ear. The autopsy also showed that Cordelia had been killed at least 12 to 13 hours before her body was found. There was no sign that anything else in the apartment had been disturbed. The neighbors were interviewed but stated they heard no noises or saw anything suspicious.

The police worked this case tirelessly. Undaunted by the list of Cordelia’s many friends and associates which led them to not only other states but other countries, they pushed for answers for Cordelia’s family. Her brother came from Belleville to take Cordelia home where she was laid to rest in the Walnut Hill Cemetery.

Police followed many scenarios, including relationships both current and past, and possible stalkers. They even thought for a time that the killer could have been a woman who lost a man to Cordelia. Unfortunately, though they worked several angles and looked into many suspects; Cordelia’s murder was never solved. This murder was revisited by the press and police for decades always with regret that no justice could be found for this young woman who had given so much to her students and her community.

Sox looking now for 2016 options

By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

T

he White Sox were undone on Labor Day mostly by being unable to cobble together more than two hits off Trevor Bauer (both from Avisail Garcia), despite Bauer’s control being “four walks in the second inning” bad to start. They scored their only runs just making outs after Bauer handed them walks, and while two runs is an acceptable takeaway from a bases loaded, no one out situation, their second inning performance amounted to letting a struggling pitcher get off the hook and settle in.

Carlos Sanchez came up with the bases juiced after 12-straight balls, and swung on the first two pitches he saw. They were both strikes, but Sanchez couldn’t put either one in play, which possibly is about him not appropriately keyholing for something he could handle, but probably more indicative of the issue that was apparent when Alexei Ramirez struck out to end the inning. When Bauer dialed up the velocity, the Sox didn’t have hitters that could handle it.

Duty for Sanchez and Ramirez doesn’t call on them to do much beyond punish mistakes, but when they are in the position to be the third or fourth best guys in the lineup, it harps on the need for two more solidly above-average bats in this lineup...somehow. Probably someone other than Mike Olt. However, even with an 0-3 day on Monday, he’s 17-36 in his last nine games, with four walks (a big deal for him), a homer and a double, and a pretty ridiculous .571 BABIP. He was due.

I wouldn’t say Ramirez should be hitting second, because Jose Abreu should be hitting second, but go ahead and move him up since he’s been average-ish since the All-Star break.

The current cleanup hitter is Avisail Garcia, so don’t act like there’s some line of absurdity that would be crossed by putting Ramirez in the No. 4 hole that hasn’t already been crossed. n More praise for Matt Albers, I guess. The portly innings-eater threw a perfect inning and a third, lowered his ERA to 1.50 over the now 30 innings he’s managed to accumulate since breaking his finger. He’s perfect for Ventura’s love for using lower-order relievers in deficits, but... hmmm...is there some way to cash in on relievers who sit at 90 mph in their mid-30’s posting a 95 percent strand rate? Can we bring Type B free agents back? nMicah Johnson is expected rejoin the big club at some point this week. He resumed being an on-base monster in Triple-A after being sent down to Charlotte in May, hitting .313/.373/.463 in 347 plate appearances, a career-high eight home runs, and 28 stolen bases in 35 attempts.

Johnson’s livable OBP and tendency to work counts seemed like a forgettable skill while he was up and regular booting grounders, but got

more cherished in his absence during Carlos Sanchez’s early struggles.

Now, with Sanchez’s worst stretch behind him, and without any indication that Johnson is moving to the outfield yet, where does Micah fit in? Probably some measure of splitting time with Sanchez to close out the year, but his future is a little murky at this point to say the least. He has a long way to go to be defensively palatable at second, and probably will have to scrap to be an average hitter due to a likely low power output.

More than anything, he can’t be the same constant screwup he was on the basepaths that he was in the early part of the year, and still be a major leaguer. He has too many weaknesses to not be maxing out his strengths.

Major League Baseball

Postseason picture comes into view for Northsiders

By Nate Johnson Columnist

K

icking off an 11-game road trip, including four games against the National League Wild Card-leading Pittsburgh Pirates, in St. Louis would require the Chicago Cubs to get off to a hot start. Putting up nine runs against the best team in baseball and getting seven shutout innings from the all-too-often shaky Dan Haren would certainly qualify as just that hot start.

The nine runs, keyed by a three-run home run from Addison Russell and a home run and a two-run double from Dexter Fowler, made for the highest margin of victory in a shutout win against the Cardinals in 34 years. After an anemic west coast trip that saw the team held under three runs per game, the Labor Day matinee was a pleasant carryover from a three-game sweep of Arizona that saw the team mark 22 times in the set, primarily thanks to a 16-run pasting of the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Game two of the Arizona series saw Jake Arrieta take the mound for the first time since his no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the right-hander did not disappoint in his follow-up. Arrieta threw eight innings of shutout baseball, allowing four hits and striking out seven on the way to his 18th win of the season in the team’s 2-0 victory. After taking home the National League Player of the Week honors earlier in the week, the righty was named National League Pitcher of the Month for August after putting up six wins with no losses over the month and

holding opponents to a tidy 0.43 ERA. Chicago’s sweep over Arizona was the eighth of the season, lending to the fourth-best record in the majors and second-best in all of baseball since the end of July, trailing only the Toronto Blue Jays. The team’s 78 wins already puts them five games ahead of last year’s 73-win pace and leaves them on pace for 94 victories. After Monday’s win over the Cards, the Cubs sit 8.5 games up for the second wild card spot and hold an eye-popping 97.7 percent probability of making the postseason.

While any team with postseason aspirations such as the Cubs would love to go into October with more big league experience under their belts, a lot of the success Chicago is experiencing continues to be due to the team’s young base.

Rookies have combined for 56 home runs this year, led by Rookie of the Year front-runner Kris Bryant’s 23, and they have driven in the game-winning run on 29 occasions. After spending the first half of the season battling with Los Angeles’s Joc Pederson for top rookie honors, Bryant has taken the driver’s seat for the award as he leads all rookies in slugging, on-base percentage and runs scored, and trails Pederson in home runs by only one.

Including the current road trip, the Cubs are away from home for 16 of their final 26 games.

With 12 of those 26 against the only National League teams ahead of them in the standings, the Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the September stretch will not be a cakewalk, but this north side team appears to be up to the challenge.

Fans bear down as NFL returns Inside

Bears prepare for regular season with an injury-plagued offense

Check out the middle of today’s paper for a complete NFL preview section with schedules and breakdowns for all 32 teams, brought to you by Kryptonite, Gambino Realtors, and District.

By Nate Johnson Columnist

A

fter a disappointing 2014 season that saw the Chicago Bears bring up the rear in the NFL North with a 5-11 record and the sixth worst point differential in the league, there was an expectation that a considerable housecleaning would take place. In the end, however, the majority of the turnover was in the front office and not on the roster.

A 13-19 record over two seasons in which he often looked overmatched got Marc Trestman his pink slip, which opened the door for new general manager Ryan Pace to bring in John Fox. Fox comes in with a 119-89 career record and is two years removed from taking the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl, and he brings with him his offensive coordinator, Adam Gase. Rounding out the coaching carousel is new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, coming over after Jim Harbaugh’s departure from the San Francisco 49ers.

Fox has reached the postseason in over half of his seasons as a head coach, taking both the Broncos and the Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl. Gase had served as Fox’s offensive coordinator for the last two seasons in Denver. Fangio comes in as one of the most highly-regarded defensive minds in the league and will implement a 3-4 defense that had produced top 10 results each of his four years with San Francisco.

Fox and his staff inherit a team that looks quite a bit like the underperforming squad from 2014. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall has left for the Jets and defensive stalwarts Lance Briggs

(retirement) and Charles Tillman (Tampa) have both cut their deep-rooted ties with the Bears.

Veterans Kevin Bass (LB), Jordan Mills (RT) and Dante Rosario (TE) were also end-of-camp cuts as victims of the roster crunch.

Besides the front office and coaching changes,

the main newcomers are outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, coming off a solid year with the Baltimore Ravens, and wide receivers Eddie Royal (San Diego) and Kevin White (drafted from West Virginia).

Unfortunately for Fox, the team is limping

into their season opener against Green Bay with a decimated receiving corps. Royal (hip) and White (possibly out for the season after surgery for a stress fracture to his shin) are joined on the injury report by top WR Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Marquess Wilson (hamstring).

While the defense comes into Sunday’s matchup much less banged up than the other side of the ball, they will be without nose tackle Jeremiah Ratliff. Ratliff will miss the first three games of the season while serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

Facing the Packers to open the season is a particularly daunting task given the pair the two teams played last year, in which their foes from Wisconsin outscored Chicago threefold, taking the series by a combined 93-31 margin. This will mark the 191st time the two teams have met, with the Bears holding the faintest of leads in the overall history, leading 93-91 with six draws.

While the Packers offense might experience a bit of a step backwards after suffering the loss of top receiver Jordy Nelson, some of that should be buffered by the return of James Jones, who came back to Green Bay on Monday after being cut over the weekend by the New York Giants.

Following the opener (12 p.m. Sunday at Soldier Field), the schedule does not get easier. The Bears will host the Arizona Cardinals in week two before facing the Seattle Seahawks in their first road affair. Chicago will appear in prime time twice this season, once on Monday Night Football in a home game against the San Diego Chargers and in their second match of the year against the Packers on Thanksgiving night.
